many many moons back, Martin sorted a fob out for me. He included a couple of switches in the envelope when he sent it back to me .... they're somewhere still in the envelope in my garage!  ::)

Jo Wiley said earlier on R2 that he provided the soundtracks of our lives and she was right. He was one of those enduring fixtures that made up part of the fabric of the nation that wove through all our lives.

A true legend. RIP.
Bursting in to sobs as she said it is possibly the most genuine thing I have heard from her.

Don't think I have heard a single show of his that wasn't him giving it 100% and thoroughly enjoying it. Up there with Terry, Paul Gambacini and Alex Lester.

Vernon Kay was only just holding it together this morning ....

Not even the Tooth Fairy would want a stained rotten stump!  ;D ;D

This is a man that started to find it difficult during Lockdown buying his cans of Guinness  .... so he ordered a pallet of the stuff!  ;D ;D

The R had the diddy one next to the main battery under the front right seat...
The QR code on the inside of my fuel filler cap suggested that my R Class had one there too ..... it didn't though  ;)

Does the ML only have two? The main one and the diddy one... Or is it new enough to have three :-\

Just 2 .... main under my seat & the diddy motorbike sized battery buried alongside the spare wheel well  ???

Just wait until you get a 24MY car which badgers you every time there is a speed limit change or you go 1mph over the speed limit.....you quickly learn the to knock that one off at every ignition cycle  :y

hope it's set up better than than the camera in my ML that reads road speed signs ..... every now & then it comes up with the NSL sign when on a 30/40 road. I've yet to discover what it thinks it's 'seen'  :-\

Some system are a hybrid of map data and forward vision systems, it might be that a section of road once was a national and the map is overriding the vision..........plus the vision systems are far from perfect!
I believe it just uses the camera .... it doesn't always do it on the same bit of road, but I remember one time it showed NSL on the dash was on a bit of road that I know has only ever been a 30  :-\

Coded the stupid start stop malarky off mine, Only kicks in if I have it in Eco Plus mode..... Which I never do!

My ML's stop/start has stopped working all by itself  :y I suspect the main battery is a little low, though it never hesitates to start up.

Keep an eye on it, the stop start systems do not look at the cranking ability, only the state of charge, if its stopped working then the battery is probably not recovering to more than 85% SoC which is plenty to crank but, shows the battery is deteriorating and they have a habit of dropping off a cliff after this point.  :y

Cheers!
I did get a quote from MB for the two batteries ..... a mere snip at £320-odd for the pair! I disconnected them from each other last summer, the rear showed 12.7V but the main was only around 12.5V
