[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 203045, member: 3592"] David, nice wheels! :) If it's any help, that's almost the same as my problem with wifey's W211 last week. The car started, but the DSC, ABS and engine lights came on and the gear selector wouldn't move out of P. It turned out to be a faulty Engine Control Unit port (Merc calls it a gateway) that caused the christmas tree display and car lockdown. As a rule, if it's just one warning light, then it's either that function or the sensor of that function that's failed. But if it's many lights all coming on suddenly, then it's likely to be a port or the ECU itself or software failure. Of course in your case, you have to consider that you've just changed the wheel size, put spacers, and gone non-staggered and non-RFT. Could be the sensor settings are out now. [/QUOTE]
