I'm currently at work and so i Completly apologise for not using the search function so sorry if this problem has occured elsewhere.
Ive recently bought an E280 W124?
And i'm having starting problems (similar to this thread:
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=109598

but as i said as i'm at work i cant read it properly and looking at it, it seems like a different problem as mine is an older car 1995.

When i try to start the car the engine turns but it doesn't start.
I.e i turn the key it makes a noise like it will start but doesn't.
If i leave it a while then the car starts but this is far from what i want.
I'm not very good with cars and i'm really worried as i've only had the car a fortnight.

PLEASE Help!

P.S
Sorry again for not using search and looking through properly but i have to use the car to get home tonight, and when i tried to start it a minute ago no joy, i'm just hoping when i try later tonight it starts.
