Re: [diesel_mercedes] Roll start

Hey this list is full of geniuses. I tried to start the car this
morning (as I was heading for the airport had to take a taxi) with no
luck. I tried it again just now when I got home, with no luck. I read
the post about the neutral safety switch, so I went out and put it in
neutral and it started right up.

The problem is that now it will start up in gear also. Do you think
it's just a dead spot in the starter or it really does have a neutral
safety switch problem?

Come to think of it I am not sure it has a neutral safety switch. I
have forgotten to put in the clutch when starting and the car lunges
forward,

Thank you all for your help

Steve
