A friend who is not a member here(yet) has one of the above.It appears that her was trying to start another car,when after consulting his handbook,he connected the eath cable from the other car,to what he thought,was the earth on his own(a large bolt in the engine bay fuse box!!).After some sparking(for this must have been a positive frather than an earth),his electric have been wiped out and car gears cannot be engaged.His local Merc specialist has traced this back to the vehicle CANBus,which sounds rather expensive.To be fair,the location of the earth spike in his engine bay,as shown in the handbook,is not clear.It transpires that the battery is under the drivers seat,which has to be unbolted to get at the battery! Any thoughts?
