You try it on an old e220 it's getting scrapped as there's other stuff wrong

Again thanks for all the replies and help It's getting scrapped as the mot's out I didn't know so rac won't lift it and no way I'm I fixing the pita of bloody starter in carpark.

Why is it that bridging the 2 top relay pins at the box made the starter turn before but not this time. What's happened.

I know what you're saying but it's stuck in a public carpark plus a lot of stuff at the top of the engine to come off to get to the starter. Maybe need to get the rac when I think about it.

On an 05 E220cdi it won't start despite a fully charged battery and new starter relay. The last time this happened it was the relay as I bridged the 2 top pins at the fuse box and the starter went. Not this time.. I know the starter is bad to get to but don't want to buy one to find it's not...

Don't really know what you mean re this eis plus I don't want to work on like that in a busy street

Don't really know what you mean re this eis plus I don't want to work on it like that in a busy street.

I've got a decent reader I'll do it later but honestly don't know what's going on. All I know is its just not reliable and can't be trusted.

I know I've got another post about the battery problem.... or so I thought Now with a new fully charged one (from a neighbour) to try. No start, I've all the lights nice and bright obviously but there's nothing else, no engine turning,clicking from the starter nothing, dead. Could is be an...

I can be quite expensive but I put it down to being old plus it's not had money spent on it in the last few years. I thought about that also but as a few said above (and I agreed) sometimes better the devil you know but also its nearly at 200000 and what else will go.

I know I would get that checked too as yes it can and does play havoc with electrics as does a dodgy battery.

I know hence answering above, I know the post was far to long etc. So times things need explaining but not that and annoyed me that after a certain time I couldn't edit and mods didn't delete it. Anyway, a deep breath 😊

Again that's true I won't be getting anything new or nearl ynew with a warranty so that's out. I know ie who knows what another will need.

That's true I have nothing modern and don't think I'd have it either.
