Mercedes cls
Hi all

I'm new to mercedes and purchased a 2005 cls500 3 weeks ago , however when I was having the bumper sprayed the you sent me a message saying it would not start , then later it started , last weekend I went out in it all OK but when I stopped for fuel it wouldn't start , it was stuck on the forecourt so I went home to get my van and a spare battery just in case it was that .
Tried the battery and no luck , so I put the towing eye on and towels strap with the intention of dragging it off the forecourt as a last resort , I thought I'll give it one last go and it fired up .
I tried it a ton of times after that and it fired every time , one thing I have noticed is that a few times I've had trouble shifting into drive or park , but I just thought I was doing something wrong as this is my first auto .
I have read somewhere this is more than likely the brake light switch .
Has anyone else had this problem and cured it .
I have a mb2 scanner coming so I can read the faults at the weekend .
Tia chris
