Usual thing, exceed 53 mph in (D)rive and hey presto into limp mode. So I decided to try and trick my trannie so to speak. I pulled over and reset the e...

Thanks Matt

Having had Merc's for the last twenty years ( still have a '73 350 slc, '9...

Thanks Vti and you other guys, First class help and information. My wife bought me a scanner for Valentines day (my pick), not very romantic I know, but exactly what I wanted.
