ruffgeezer Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Pete and I have agreed to take on an ill advised Mercedes, but the vendor cannot get it started. We have paid for a fresh battery but it sounds as if the starter is stuck. It is auto so cannot be bump started. Is anyone local who can have a look or perhaps tow it to a garage or place of safety? It's a C220cdi estate. More details as needed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldoubleyou Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Pm me the postcode I may or may not be local to it depending on where abouts it is There’s a chance I will be near aero chat this weekend (only a chance) and I think that’s just up the road Can’t tow but could have a look at anything and take a battery up if that’s all you need Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 It has a fresh battery on it, but we have doubt in the ability of the owner's"mechanic" friend who wanted to tow start an auto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Do you mean Crianlarich? If so I am about 120 miles (or 2.5 hours) away if there is no one nearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 There are a couple of Shiters near Hellburgh which is but 30 or so miles down the road - somewhatfoolish is in that neck of the woods, I believe, as is pauldoubleyou - edit, hadn't seen that you'd posted! Would the starter be accessible enough to use the old "clout with a plying hammer" trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
