Just to add this R170 refers to a 1999 SLK 230 Kompressor hence othe MB using this chassis may well be able to help me with an answer to my question ?

Try looking in the shifter mechanism. That is where it is in the W210s of that same era.
Had the same problem with my W210, had to open up the selector, pull the contact cartridge, carefully burnish (with a business card) and slightly bend the contact leaves to get it working again.
