Pure guess work without more info pal , we are a very helpful bunch here and there isnt much we haven't seen over the years but 'an electrician ' doesnt fill me with hope , it needs to be on star so you can see whats not getting power ?? It could be a number of things , looking forward to any updates

It's really hard to know what to do , I'm waiting for local garages to get back to me to give me prices , it's a bit like a go compare thing where you put your details in and they send it out to all the local garages . Thanks

Not sure how a garage can give an accurate quote when they don't know what the fault is

Well I've spoke to other garages and it's got to be main dealer so the AA are taking it there but the MB garage have to speak to the AA 1st after they've done the diagnosis to get the authorisation to go ahead with the job .

Underbonnet fuse box, in front of the driver seat. Take the lid off, purple wire is the starter trigger. It’s protected by a fuse in the same box. Very common to blow on the diesel w203. Worth checking. Very few cars have a fuse in the starter feed line. Anyone unfamiliar may miss it.
