The switch is located at the lefthand side of the gearbox and is kept in place by two bolts . If you loosen those bolts a bit you can turn the switch a littlebit ( in your case clockwise ) and it should be working fine again, succes. JPG
Read the full replyHey all,
My 87 300D (W124) has developed an annoying problem in that the car will not turn over when the shifter is in park. If I shift to neutral or push the shifter foreward (towards dash) a bit, the car will start normally. I imagine some kind of switch that prevents starting in gear is faulty, but does anyone know where it is and/or how to fix/replace it?
Any help appreciated. Mike

Thank you very much, I will do just that when I'm under the car next.
