Mercedes S320 Limo
Hi everyone, don't know if someone can help. I have S320 1997 Limo which goes in limp mode sometimes and steering goes stiff at the same time, after restarting the car mostly drives normal. Since last 2 days car stuck in 1st gear, won't shift after 10 hours standing the car drives normal again but stiff steering. This morning again it won't shift out of 1st gear. Any ideas what could it be? Anyone know a good mechanic in leicester ? Thanks
 
It needs to be plugged in. It is likely to be a speed sensor issue.
 
Also this problem started about 2 months after I had the car and seen when changing tyres the abs cable was damaged, fixed the cable and all was fine for about 7 months then started again, abs cable are ok I have checked them straight away
 
Is that the 140 chassis with the 3.2 litre straight six engine ?

and 5 speed auto box ?
 
It is the sedan model
 
Just cleaned sensors and tested break light switch which is fine , still same problems. Looks like there is no other option then garage now
