My 1996 E300 D developed a fault last night. All of the dash
board indication lights lit up (kind of half illuminated) and the
power steering stopped working. There is also a loud squeeling noise
coming from the engine. I wonder if there is a belt that drives
something to do with the power steering? When driving it the I
noticed the fault was intermittent - the warning lamps go out briefly and the
steering improves, then they come on and the steering goes v heavy
again. The squeeling noise is always there.
Any thoughts? There has been a lot of rain in the last few days, perhaps it has got into the electrics....
