Dr Opti, maybe a daft question, but have you checked they aren't the anti-theft type?

Some of them have a small allen-type grub screw in them to discourage little scrotes from pinching them while your car is parked up.

Very true Henry!

I can almost imagine the scene.. Mercedes tech walks out to car obviously doing a tripod impression, plugs his laptop in, says "NFF", shrugs his shoulders and wanders back into the warm to tell the boss there's nothing wrong with it.. ;D

And that, I think, is the problem. The service manager said when I collected it last week .... 'we can't find a fault, we've even had it plugged in' ..... It looks like the hallo'd STAR has failed ..... or its operator has.  ::)
