Hi all,
My Mrs took my CLK up to Manchester to spend Christmas with her family, with the cold weather on Christmas Eve the battery seems to have died. They managed to get it started, but the car was very sluggish. It started up ok the next day, but after calling me, she took it halfords to replace the (18 year old) batter. With the battery changed, it started like a champ, however on the way back she noticed the turn signals were not working, later more and more electrical issues started to appear, wing mirrors stop working, heated seats, rear window defrosters, and a few warning messages appeared on the dashboard. She took the car back to Halfords garage today, but they said they got 50 errors on their scan and couldn't help. She is currently pregnant, and naturally this has not helped her stress levels today .
My guess, they blew out one or all of the SAM modules when the battery was changed.
I'm down in Watford, so can't really do much, but can anyone recommend an indy specialist in North Manchester?
MercAid (Mercedes Repairs Manchester With Mercaid Manchester Ltd) is near where she is, but when I called no one picked up, they may be closed for the holidays, or even out of business for all I know.
