E280 Starting problems
Hi there, i'm currently having problems starting the Benz..... 
I had the car scanned the fault was fuel pump relay voltage low, checked all the wiring harness and voltage, everything seemed o.k. ( I love DIY)
replaced fuel pump relay and fuel pressure regulator (just in case)
It ran like a charm until this morning went to start her and i was going nowhere,
Any Ideas?

How old is your battery? Is it an OEM? Mercedes' are sensitive to marginal voltage. This level is higher than would be noticed by things such as dim headlights. Best way to test is to apply a load while battery is uninstalled. Also check for low electrolyte level. A common problem since it doesn't get checked as often as it should.
