hello,
i have a 1997 e300 td,which i have had a major problem with today.
I had the battery replaced on the car 3 weeks ago by kwik fit ,and the car has been running fine until today.
I parked the car up and turned it off as normal,and noticed the electric window wouldnt close.I locked and unlocked the car ok,put the key in the ignition and nothing happend and it wouldnt come out of park.
Called the aa and after some investigation they found that the earth lead to the battery had come off,and the car had been driven with the battery disconnected.I had to have the car recovered by flatbed to my house ,obviously it cant have been tightened properly by kwik fit,but what damage would it have done to the car ,i would be very gratefull for any help indeed, i have two keys both which will lock/unlock the car but will not turn on the ignition.
thanks richard
