Mercedes Vito 111 Traveliner
Hi guys,

Recently bought a Mercedes Vito 111 53 plate, and I must say as a Merc newbie it's been amazing. There's only one problem. The thing doesn't start with either key (spare and main). I've checked the battery and it's fully charged, drove 6 hours on a trip and turned it off and tried to start it immediately again with no joy.

The only way to start it is by bypassing the starter motor by bump starting it (park on a hill every night hoping nobody parks infront of me) so I naturally thought the motor was done. I sourced and installed a new one, no joy.

That's about the limit of my mechanic knowledge so I'm now stumped. No warning lights, nothing! Anyone else experienced this and how did you fix it? Just looking for advice before I either start pulling things off or paying a auto electrician.
