Bought a Mercedes 560SL a few months ago. Ran great for 3-4 months. Now every 4-5 days it will start and mmediately die. When this happens it will turn over (crank) vigorously, but will not start again. After 4-5 hours (a couple of times only after 4-5 days) it starts normally. The last time was 2 weeks ago and it still won't start. Local Buick mechanic can't find what to do. Nearest good Mercedes mechanic is 35 miles away. Any hints for the local guy so I can get it started and take it to the Mercedes man? Getting desperate and any help will be greatly appreciated. henry

Others will come along and help you shortly I'm sure... but for now, use the search feature (top right hand corner of the page) and I'm sure you will find something that will give you a head start. Good luck on your problem!
