.. the engine turns over all right but my W215 just won't "catch". It was working fine earlier today. Any thoughts?

Don't think so. Got home at about 3:30 this afternoon, didn't notice engine running hot. Didn't try it until 8:30

It will still be that if it spins over but does not fire up

That's what it does, or rather, doesn't. Is it something MobiloLife might fit?

I should think so.
I mean "operating temp" hot. The mobilo guy can test for this. He can check for RPM signal.

Given that the car is immobilised I'm stuck with the MobiloLife bloke repairing it or taking it to a dealer. The car was cold as been sitting for 5 hours. Half an hour plus parts isn't too hard to bear.

When your turn the ignition on, can you hear the fuel pump prime?

Take the double glazing out and you might
I just tried. Trouble is I've got easy exit turned on and the main noise is the whirr of the motor for that. I think I head something that might be the fuel pump priming.
