Hi all club members, a few days ago i picked up a C220 CDI MANUAL 2003 MODEL from a insurance dealer, the car was stolen and recovered in april/may 2008 and i bought it this month, it has no major body damages.

The problem is that it doesn't start, all electrics such as radio, alarms, lighting and all the rest is working fine, when i place the key in position 2 it shows up all lights and says no malfunctions and it makes a high fan noise, but when i start it there is no response, no cranking, clicking or anything, the display does not even response, as if i am not even starting it, i thought it may have one of the following problems:

BATTERY : But bought a new one still no response
IMMOBILIZER HAS ACTIVATED: But key turns and everything else works
WRONG KEY : Again everything else works

or the ones below, which i think may be the problem

NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH
CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH
IGNITION SWITCH
STARTER MOTOR

can anyone please give suggestions, what it might be so that i can get the car started

thanks faisal
