Hi all,

I've had a sporadic issue with my '99 C200, with the BAS/ASR light coming on. It doesn't necessarily come on when I am pressing the brake pedal, and always clears when I restart the car.

If I keep driving, after a little while all the other warning lights to do with brakes will also light up (low pads, handbrake etc) combined with the speedo falling to 0 and not working. The other day it did this, cleared on its own when I stopped, but upon taking off again the BAS/ASR light returned, but with the oil level, oil pressure light and the tacho not working.

I've replaced my battery recently and had a mechanic tell me the alternator tested ok. I know my brake lights are working as the cover for the parcel shelf light fell off, so I can see it lighting up in my rear view mirror.

Any tips on where to go next with this? The mercedes 'specialist' I went to didn't seem to have any suggestions and wasn't too worried given that the car continues to drive perfectly despite the warning lights. I'd say it happens once every month or two, but sometimes more often.

Cheers from Australia!
