- 230 SLK T REG
Hi guys!
Set off for work on Saturday morning in my SLK(230K YEAR 1999 T-REG) got half way and the exterior bulb lamp came on and smoke started pouring from the heater vents.
I obviously stopped straight away, hazards on(working fine). Opened up both windows and turned off the stereo and heater then turned the engine off.
Luckily I wasn't too far from home so drove home like that(whilst being poisoned from the smoke
) My BAS ASR lamp came on and my indicators are no longer working.....Engine starts up fine so pressumed its an electrical fault......
Rang my local merc specialist and he told me to not go anywhere near the car and to disconnect the battery and that I would need to get it towed to a garage
Another specialist said it could be a minor thing OR could be a job of £500+ and that it wouldnt be worth keeping it as it is an oldie.
Anyone experienced this? Or anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Jade
