Right... I'm at a loose end... HELP!!!
The 124 when starting first time from cold... ISN'T starting. We're talking stone cold here, not used for 24 hours.
The engine just turns and turns and turns... Not firing. When you release the key, it runs on one cylinder and shakes from side to side a little, then dies. A brief press on the throttle whilst starting, and it starts but misfires a bit when revving until, you put it into Drive, and everything is back to Mercedes standard. Lovely runner as long as you have it in drive!
Even running for 5 seconds and shutting it off, when attempting to start again, perfect. No problems.
No power issues, goes like a rocket. Returning good MPG and driving smooth as it ever has done.
This problem has been had for a year, all Emissions are spot on and recieved good comments at MOT time.
