2000 R129 SL280
![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi,
I was driving home from work yesterday, stopped in traffic and the engine cut out on me.
I am driving a 2000 R129 SL280 with 51,000 miles on the clock.
I tried several times to start it up straight away but it wouldn't start.
I got help pushing it to the hard-shoulder.
So I left it for about 10mins then tried again and it started up but after a minute it cut out on me again.
I left it again for about 10mins and it started up so this time I was able to drive off and get it to the garage.
Any ideas what may have caused this?
Thanks.
