Hi folks,
Owning another Mercedes (I used to have an E200 Kompressor) has been a bit of an itch that needed scratching so last week I bought a 2000MY (X plate) S320 CDI. I knew it would need some TLC but have been surprised just how much of this superb car doesn't work and it may be that I've bitten off more than I can stomach
Time will tell, but for the moment I still feel inclined to try to get it back to full working condition. At the moment the major issues are it's in limp mode all the time (well it did run properly for about 10 miles on Thursday) and the central locking isn't working at all. I guess I need to get it to an Indie with Star and if I can get those problems sorted without the need for a second mortgage it'll be a keeper.
