OK...I have this awesome W202 that was neglected over the last year and now I am having all kinds of problems. I love the car, but cannot be sure if I will be piling all kinds of money into it for the next few years....

Biggest Problem....The original 1996 MB battery was pronounced dead and not able to hold a charge.
I purchased a new battery and the car started right up and drove like normal.....until I noticed that the battery light was lit and would not go out....I procastinated and now the car wont start again...needs to be jumped and then stalls and dies about 15 minutes into the drive...

Altenator? Altenator Brushes? Somthing else?

Also, the headlights will not turn on....all other lights work great except for the Headlights....all fuses seem to be fine.

Any ideas on the battery?

Now the biggest question: The battery, headlights and no A/C, no climate control, no radio antenna.....is this car worth putting the money into.
