Problem SOLVED!! Thanks guys
Load test showed charging system OK and 2.5 year old battery OK; Typical, after a 30 min trickle charge at home, car started just fine. Like going to the Doctor and it doesn't hurt anymore
So the mechannic pulled the voltage regulator out, and sure enough, brushes on it (the original) were worn, so put in a new one, and everything just great. You guys were spot on. THANKS!!!!  The car will get rewarded with a new headliner for this next month! Jim

Excellent...! Hope the VR was replaced w/ a Bosch unit and not a KAE..
As for the headliner, have you priced them out as of late? A lot of the colours are NLA as well.... Unless your fabric is stained I would recomend you remove and the re-attach the fabric the old head board.. The factory new headliners are not any better then the originals (no improvement to the glue used).. Jonathan

Yeah, thanks for your help. Yes it was a Bosch in a yellow box.
Guy knows what he is doing. The car runs sweet! I amvery happy, except passing gas stations  Price up to 3.57 for Chevron/techron Supreme, and that has ALWAYS been the car's dietAs to the headliner, he is simply going to replace the whole thing, even the sunroof piece. We found a fabric (non MB that is pretty close, and except forr the rear vinyl piece above the window, found that matching black cloth will probably be just as good. He is going on vacation, so car is going in on June 1, for a 2 day job. It is going to cost about $650. Semms like a good trim shop, successful and pretty busy but not cheap, and "he never did a Mercedes before." Gulp Anyway I thought about it and pulled the trigger. I hope it works. Thanks mucho for your interest. Jim
