Problem Summary

Model E320. 320,000kms on clock.

A number of issues were experienced. When it starts from cold the auto would not shift out of first easily on occasions. After a short time when up to temperature if stopped at lights it would take off in third.

If ignition turned off and restarted it would reset most of the time straight away (Cycling the key while rolling was not a good idea as the auto ends up in neutral).
