W115 200D won't start
The way that it's supposed to start is that you turn the key until the lights come on and then you pull the glow plug button out halfway. You then wait for the salt-shaker looking round thing on top of the steering column to start glowing and then you pull it out all the way and it activates the starter motor.
When I do it to mine, the glow thing never lights up. When I pull it all the way out to start the car, the ignition lights dim a little, but that's all - nothing else happens.
I know that the engine runs and I know that the car transport company had it running. But it won't for me.
I've recharged and checked the battery and checked the connections but to no avail.
It has to be something simple, but I can't work out what
