This relatively faultless SL started to conk out whilst driving through town and then would not start for about 30 minutes until it had cooled down and then would drive perfectly. Spent £700 on crank sensors etc and 3 months later the same thing happened. Back to the garage (not a Merc specialist) and now spent another £600 have it diagnosed as the ignition module. A new one is £1600 and I now have a £3000 bill on my hands. Any suggestions as to where I can get recon/salvage parts?

I also need a throttle actuator MA00014165225

Help!!
