Hi all, got a issue with my 2001 year 320 R129.
Every now and then ( few weeks sometimes) i turn the key get all the ignition lights but when i turn the key to start the car, nothing, no dimming of the ignition lights, just nothing happens.
I have tried putting the car into neutral but it doesn't make any difference, then i might try the car again in 10 mins it might start perfectly fine and not have any issues for the next few weeks.
The key turns smoothly in the ignition barrel so don't think its that but obviously not 100% sure.
As its intermittent i was thinking it could be a faulty inhibitor selector switch, does anyone know where the gearbox selector inhibitor is?
Also does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?
Thanks
Jay
