A new MB part is about R5500 (about 680US) but the mechanic found an after market unit which is cheaper (i do not know how much it costs yet since i have not seen his invoice). He has taken it for a long test drive, and the vehicle has been working on site since the last three days. I have taken it for a short drive today and it feels fine to me, easily revving to 6000 and the power seems similar. (I do not know whether this unit will affect power) So I hope we have the right thing here. The unit is shown in the pics below:  (280 GE Ignition box 001.jpg) (280 GE Ignition box 002.jpg) Attachments ----------------  280 GE Ignition box 001.jpg (112KB - 3 downloads) 280 GE Ignition box 002.jpg (103KB - 0 downloads) | |
