The E300D has had a number of odd little electronic maladies since arriving.
Surging throttle and odd glow plug indications being but two. Sure enough the wiring loom has the automotive equivalent of multiple sclerosis. Although I couldn't cure it for my former partner, I can certainly get the better of it with the MB so matching cable was ordered today, a cableform board will be created tomorrow and the sockets all desoldered, ready for the reconstruction which ought to be finished on Thursday evening. It isn't a lot of work to remake the loom. The cost is around £30 for all the cable and I shall have it made in much less time than it would take me to earn what MB would charge me for a new loom!
