Solved: well fuse 36 was missing, hence no power. so don’t assume all fuses are correct and in the right place 😁

I tested it on the bench by bridging 12v across two pins and ground on the other On the regulator and it worked fine. I don’t have 12v in the red incoming wire that I Think I should have, but I do have variable voltage in the white/pink Wire

HI All, Hoping somebody has seen this before as it is driving me somewhat crazy. A friend of mine has an R170 SLK320 from 2000, it has has a number of issues which i am steadily working through. The final issue is that the blower motor/fan for the interior heat/AC does not work at any...

Hi All, Does anybody know if these K40 relays with different part numbers are interchangeable? I removed from the car A1705450305 Searching ebay for the K40 relay also brings up part number: A1705450205 and A2105400072 They all look identical, image is for reference. The one that i have...

Distronic?

That looks definitely worth saving !! They all need welding at some point, might as well be now :)

Just an idea, is the motor getting hot, does it have a thermal cut out switch?

It should be under 50 milliamps. You may need to wait for up to 30 minutes for the car to fully shut down.

Based on what you describe, I would be checking the earthing points thoroughly, those symptoms sound familiar.

I would suggest SS Motors in Weybridge, they know the 124 and 126's very well as an alternative recommendation.

I bought a Lidl one a few years ago, it lasted around 18 months before dying on me, maybe I was unlucky. But at that price, they are almost disposable.

Is it in gear? Are you putting you foot on the brake before starting it? I know it sounds obvious, but as its your father in laws car, perhaps you are not aware.

Yep, my son has one, never had an issue with parts either from MB, as well as loads of aftermarket pattern parts.

My view is that i depends on how handy you are with the spanners. Its a 30 year old car, I had a 560 sec, and they are fabulous, but as a daily driver not so sure. That one looks very good, but they can hide a multitude of sin, need to find the rust, its there, unless its been full restored...

I have done this from the positive under the red tab, not an issue. There is a nice earthing point about 6 inches in front of the positive connector, with from memory two earth wires going to it, you can use that as the negative.

well done, i am enjoying your updates. The W210 is a much underrated car.
