Default Useless

I thought to check in and ramble a bit, it has been a while since coming into the forum. Summer is very busy for me. The jags are running well, no issues! They love the heat it seems. I do need to change out a brake accumulator, but September will be good for that. On another subject, the folks over in the Mercedes forum are useless. They must have 100k members. Of course the wife's pain in *** e320 is constantly needing attention, and I don't know that car as I do my Jags.
Monday driving at about 80mph in her car (she has a/c) I noticed the a/c wasn't as cold, next thing I feel I am losing power, then the temp gauge is in the red. I pulled over as quick as I could and she stalled. I open the hood, antifreeze everywhere. I paid 60$ to tow it to my house. The fill/overflow plastic tank exploded. I replaced it, and now this car won't start. I have no spark. So I posted this in the mb forum to ask if there was a shutoff switch on that car for fuel. Like in ours by the drivers foot well. 2 days not one reply. So, I know when my black vdp had that issue it was a CPS. So I got one of them, I had to splice the wires then install it in the e320 (not fun at all, the job took me 4 hours and my skin is torched). Still no spark. You think someone could give advice on how to test the CPS? Not over there. Useless, just as the car is. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer

Hey , good to see your jags work great , I truly wish same for the Mercs as well
Since , your thread is not about Jag then it's a wise move to General Tech Help
