Hi all, new to this site....

I have just inherited a 98T W210? e class 320 petrol with 220K miles on the clock which would didn't run. I have just replaced the MAF (thanks to all who advised). The car now runs fine for a few minutes then cuts out and will not restart. If I leave the car for 20 mins it will then restart but cuts out again...

Taking the car to an indie will be difficult as the cars brakes are terrible when engine is not running so towing would be out of the question....

Any ideas - I havn't replaced the fuel filter which is my only idea????

Could well be, if it cuts out instantly as if the ignition has been turned off.

However if it splutters and dies it is likely a fuel problem.

Which is it ?????

sounds like crank shaft posistion sensor

That's exactly how mine behaved when the crankshaft sensor went kaput. You need to get the code read.
