Positive connection is normally left side of engine on E classes with a red cover which slides back.
Also a ground earth connection on the left strut inside the engine compartment.
Mine is wired up now.
I have in the passed had some very good 3 year service plans, but the current one is £1,620 so I thought I would go independent for my next A service on the SLC250d.
My local independent quoted £312, Mercedes Stafford £287, Mercedes Tamworth £222.
Any observations please, not what I expected.
A nice 140 mile round trip to see our son for lunch, managed 64mpg in the SLC250d.
He donated us his old 3 year old bedroom TV. Its bigger than our lounge TV & half the age.
He has a 77" TV in his lounge.
Its a 20 year old car I dont think MB are any different to other manufactures with cars of this age.
Checking DVLA my old 2003 CLK270CDI hasn't been taxed or insured for over a year. The wife 2004 SLK200K is still on the road but only doing about 2K miles a year.
Often thought about one of these as a replacement to my 212 E350CDI.
But only doing 3K miles a year at the moment, & the 212 has been built proof over 12 years.
Had it done on our SLC250d 4 years ago. Initially it wouldn't go into 9th until about 75MPH, where as before it would go into 9th under 70MPH.
Now it will hold 9th on the flat at 65MPH, drops into 8th about 63MPH. Overall fuel consumption for the last 12 months 54MPG.
More or less the same story...
We have a AEG fridge freezer 3 years old & the freezer is struggling to maintain the temperature unless I leave it on fast freeze.
In the garage is an unbranded chest freezer over 30 years old, & never failed.
From about1999 to about 2002 Mercedes had a problem with their paint, & it wasn't until 2003/4 all new cars were galvanised. Unfortunately you bought your car in this era.
Its 4 years since I bought our last car from MB, but fortunately I was paying cash. I was offered finance several times during the sale & each time the interest rate dropped.
I am sure there are deals to do, otherwise go elsewhere.
