Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sport Coupe 2004 Petrol Auto - Starting Problems - scotken

My car has decided that on occasion it will not start. However if I peersist with the at short intervals it will start after about 5/7 minutes. This started about three weeks ago and it symptomatic of a battery being dead untill it starts again and it fires just normally as though nothing had happened. There is no warning, nothing to say to yourself it is acting up everything is normal untill I try to start it. Your advice would be very much appreciated.

I would suggest you get the battery tested.Because this vehicle is fitted with a logic cranking circuit,any low battery condition can cause a non start rather than rapid clicking.It could easily have the original battery fitted.Another possibilty is an intermittant starter motor.not an unknown fault on these.hth
