The strict Californian emissions regulations are another reason why things like Hybrids are quite popular there, and wasnt California the first place to trial the Hydrogen Fuel Cell stuff?

On trying to startup this evening, I lost all electrics for about 30 seconds.
At first notch on ignition normally you hear the fuel pump pressurise briefly before you start the engine. This evening, it just clicked then all the electrics then went off. Dash board displays (mileage, outside temperature, clock etc) and radio all blank, start motor didn't kick in. Quiet clicking noise behind dash. Removed key from ignition. All displays remained blank.... Read more
Thanks for replies, will take a look at the battery.
Is it possible to get a battery tested?
I bought the car 6 weeks ago and noticed this problem straight away, although it is irritating I live with it, last week the car did its usual thing of speedo, odometer and radio losing power and engine cutting out when slowing down, when the engine kicked back in, there was a loud rumbling noise coming from the engine and also fuel consumption has doubled, i'm getting around 100 miles for £30. Has anyone any ideas on this and could it be connected to the previous speedo problem?? Read more
The speedo dropping to zero and loss of power are definitely symptoms of a failing vehicle speed sensor (vss) - not sure about your other symptoms though.
Try searching this forum for 'vss' - there are lots of posts on this problem on here, including a few from me, as I replaced mine on my old Focus.
Having spent nearly £2k on new cam belt, water pump, discs, tyres and 5,000 mile servicing, the emissions light came on and the main dealer wants £925 to replace the throttle body. Is this the only solution and is it worth it? The light is now off, can I keep on running and what harm might I do? Read more

Fortunately this car was saved from the crusher. http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=66503 Does any one else know of any other good/rare cars which were lost in this ill thought out scheme Read more
I don't think cars over 10 years old are that green. If you ever get behind one now, they stink to high heaven. I have to turn my fan off.
I do agree that there was an agenda to tide us over the worst of the financial crisis, but what are they going to do now that the eye of the hurricane has passed and the rest of it starts to engulf the economy on the second front....
