milliardo Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Pray it's not your starter motor, ours on the A-class went and because of it's location it needed an engine drop and independent garages wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Ended up paying £600 to Europa..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up paying £600 to Europa..... Just out of interest, when you say "A class" are you referring to a Merc car, or are we still talking vans? Either way, one day in the future the motor industry will quite rightly (and hopefully) be investigated for collusion. An engine drop to access a starter motor. Jobs for the main dealer boys- ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car battery went the same way when we had a cold snap a few years ago. I tried to phone the AA but couldn't get through. The next day when they finally sent someone the guy said he'd spent the last two days sorting out nothing but flat batteries. There was no clue it was on its way out, it simply wouldn't start one evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If it didn't start with a jump-start it's nothing to do with the battery, because the jumper leads would have provided plenty of current to start the car. well on the older models you could get to hit it with a hammer This was always my favourite treatment Bash Bash "Start you mot*#er f*#ker" Bash Bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
