If not you need to get a diagnostic done, read the fault codes. a merc agent will be able to do it, make sure they understand they are looking at a C32 and the Star equipment WILL read the codes.
With out seeing the car it's hard to say what may be wrong but, it sounds very much like the friction plates have burned out. the only way to know for sure is to get the codes read. I would expect you to get P2500 and/orP220A
If you are a member of the AA or RAC, call them out, they can read some codes and it won't cost you!!!
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks for the reply Mo.
I didn't buy from a dealer I'm afraid. Paid £2300 but seemed to have no problems.
Okay, a friend from work has a machine which I'm borrowing so hopefully I'll have the codes tomorrow.
I see, well as soon as I get the codes I'll let you know.
Thanks again,
Bruce.
