I got me a 57 reg Merc Cls. I've had it around two weeks and have been having a couple of problems. It had a fresh MOT when I picked it up.

Firstly when I start it, the dash backlight flickers ever so slightly, normally accompanied by an engine warning light. I've contacted them about this, and they've agreed to look at it.

I went to the car this morning and it won't start. Or it wouldn't. Just churns over and over, doesn't sound as if the battery is dwindling or anything. Tried with a starter pack too. No go. Possibly alternator?

I've also had to top up the coolant as the warning light came on, so they can have a look at that too.

I've got a lemon, haven't I?

You could try a post in the merc thread/merc section and ask one of the nice chaps to check the history on it.
