ML27O cdi not picking up speed and other problems

[Jan82]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post, as I am a new member.... I have ML270, 2001.... Lately the following problems have started, since yesterday, my car won't start first time, it is drinking fuel, if I'm on even a slight hill my car has problems getting to 20mph.... Note this is not coz the car is full, this has happened when I'm da only one in it... If I park on a hill with the car facing the hill it won't start. Sometimes my car won't get up to 40mph when driving on a flat road.... Has anyone else had the same problems?

I forgot say

When I drove it to hamshire the car wouldn't get passed 80mph on the motor way

You really need it on a star machine to see what the codes are and what the actual values are showing, could be one of so many things!!!!!!

What's the charge for that?

 

[Cole@MBS]

Depend where you go, we charge £25 for a short test!!!! Some times more time is needed when you get muti fault codes but I believe that is the going rate with us indis!!!!

... If I park on a hill with the car facing the hill it won't start.

Is there not a clue in that remark somewhere?
