Hi sorry this is my first post, i have a just recently purchased a 300se S Class that has not been used for a few years apparently (surplus to requirements) I have driven about a 1000 miles in it, love the car but it has a problem with the rev counter, oil and economy gauge work, than stop, work than stop, there is no regular pattern to it happening but i would like to get it sorted.
Also today I went out to use it,started it up and then pulled away it was as though it would not let me acclerate past 20mph, it felt like its was surging. I pulled over but when revved it it would not rev past 2 or 3000rpm but i then turned the engine off than restarted it and it revved freely but after a few minutes it started doing it again....
Help please, need the car for tomorrow any ideas what could be wrong???
Thanks in advance
P.S. Cards behind the bar being a newbie and all that!!!
