My car a c220 was taken to a garage. This garage was recommeded by a leading breakdown recovery firm.
After changing the starter the car would not start so they directed the starter, I was told by the garage that the program would settle, it just needed a little coaxing hence directing it straight to the power supply.
So I took it home (approx 2.5 miles) my car by the time I reached my house it had caught fire. The damage sustained was to the loom and the ECU total damage is approx 2500.
The garage is called RECON AUTOS and are on Grove Lane, Handsworth in Birmingham.
They have totally denied that they were responsible.
But I have had independent engineers out who have stated that the fire did commence in the starter motor area.
I have also noted that a large cable was left of the starter motor, the cable ends in a matchbox size plastic box with a filament running through it does anybody know where that attaches to or what its purpose is?
Thanks in advance
