Hi all
w124 estate 2.8, 5 speed, 252000 miles. It has a new starter motor and alternator and the battery is good. Twice recently the car would not start. All dash lights lit but no cranking whatsoever. On both occasions I shifted the gearlever to and fro and then back into park and it started perfectly. I am wondering if the thing that stops the car starting when it is in drive is beginning to fail. Any ideas? Would like to get to the bottom of it early so it doesn't leave me stranded...
Thanks
Tom
