it was too late when i realise that they metion about the stalling problem as CPS. i have pushed the OK button already...so i leave it as it is and write the next one which contradic the first one

yeah, better use the jaguar. the SLK is so unpredictable right now.

it must be warmer there. i really feel curious about that city.

if you make any sin, just give us your report[sm=smiley17.gif]... i can learn from your experience[sm=shades.gif]

very nice hotel. you will be bumping elbows with some celebrities there.

[sm=smiley14.gif] i envy you.

Hello,

you know this might sound too simple, but I have experience this same problem with other vehicles that had one or a combination of the following:

1. loose battery cable durty or corroded ground.
2. battery with low charge
3. starter with hi resistance thru it
4. alternator that is not charging the battery enough...
5. a shorted ingition switch.

my 2 cents

[sm=rant.gif] only had it back 1 day ! this
****ING crappy piece of **** has died on me again !!! [sm=wtf.gif]
engine cut out approaching busy roundabout on dual carriageway
nearly caused a nasty accident[sm=WTFsgign.gif] and then refused
to start - called out recovery ( 7 times now ) waited 25 minutes then
suddenly the pile of useless crap started again - got it home phew.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT - ITS GOTTA GO

After ranting at MB the dealer is gonna investigate[sm=imsmilin.gif] the fault?
free of charge - [sm=sigh.gif] - big deal as they have alledgedly been "investingating"
since November last year at MY considerable expense - & without success[sm=smiley35.gif]
I have demanded they collect car from my home (will it start?) because in my opinion its
A DANGEROUS UNRELIABLE PIECE OF KRAP[sm=guilty.gif] which I aint prepared to drive
until they Prove to me its SAFE.
Dealer picking up thursday 10th - it would be poetic justice if the pile of **** dont start
or cuts out on them[sm=exactly.gif] but i bet iit will be fine.
Also i have e-mailed some motoring jornalists in UK for advice and my consumer rights
