That to me points to a Can Bus problem. ( Sorry I just couldn't resist that ) Seriously though LK I hope everything works out in your favour.My w220 was "written off" years ago Skidded on ice, one wing hit a bin. Car spun and other wing hit a bus. The damage was both wings, some suspension parts, alloy, airmatic struts and the head lamps.
What writes the car off is the cost to put it right (new geniune parts, labour, paint etc) vs the market value.
The car had 42K miles on it at 10 years old and is mint, I have it since almost new.
I kept the car as they value was heartbreaking. I purchased genuine wings and lamps from a car being broken and all other bits I got brand new from MB.
My indy done all the work. I kept the car and I banked 2k from the insurance.
Yes I still have the car. Yes its still mint and its on 72k and 17 years old and I love it.
So Ins co can write of the car. Nothing stopping you from keeping it.
So LK i know where you are coming from.
Good luck.
