[W126 Coupe] Brake pads

[Shayegan, Richard]

This sounds stupid, but have you checked the water levels in the battery?

Mike, 
I'll try the two time technique. I've tried turning the key on and waiting for around ten seconds before trying to start but still takes the same amount of time. (I was told if there was a leak down or weak pump this would confirm it.) I've even tried holding the pedal all the way down when starting, but all this does is to cause the engine to rev up momentarily when it does catch. I've had this hard start problem for around a year and have pretty much learned to live with it. It is, however, a little embarassing when there are people near and they turn to look when they hear this thing cranking and cranking.
