Thanks ANAN. I'm afraid it confirms what I suspected- the shaggin thing isn't OBDII compliant. There's a round 38 pin DLC at the ecu in the engine bay that's for Mercedes diagnostic tools.
Ah well, we tried...!

I used to have a 94 C280 - when you're googling anything it's a big help to use 'W202' instead of the make/model.

Plenty of garages will have the round Mercedes connector and will be able to do a scan for you. Where are you located?

I'm in South County Dublin George, or as we call it, Tallaght!!
It's a relatives motor that I used to do a bit of work on, but Ive bounced it on to a mate with even oilier fingers!!
