Re: [MBZ] '84 300D GPR
I think the problem is that you sanded the contacts. Its like ignition points, if you sand off the surface coating then the likelyhood that they corrode and fail again are much higher.

Maybe you have a battery with a cell which is going bad? Have FLAPS load test the battery to rule that out.

Sounds like an intermittent poor ground connection to me - I ended up adding a second ground strap between the block and the chassis in the W115 and that ended all the starting issues for me. -- OK Don NSA: The only branch of government that actually listens to US citizens!
