Post C250 Diesel Sport 2000my (Estate)

Anyone who has owned one of the Sports type c class cannot fail to be impressed with them. However mine has done a mere 70K and has not run for 4 months due to a fuel problem. Lift pump replaced all O rings Pipes. Still not going. spent £700 so far at two garages. I am feeling a little depressed at thid point. Can anyone helpme PLEASE. Jacko.

Can you see any air bubbles in the fuel lines? Any fault codes? Glow plugs ok?
What have the garages you've tried do so far?

Hello Ausmbtech.
Thank you for responding.
There are air bubbles in pipes. All O rings have been replaced along with all of the clear pipes and lift pump. Not seen any fault codes. The car is now at its 3rd garage who profess to be MB specialist. I'll know in a week I guess.
I was going to buy a new version of this car but I am now definately not going to purchase another merc as long as I live. I still have myML which at the moment is great. I am just waiting for something to go wrong with it! Seems to me Mercedes are not quite what they are cracked up to be.
