they fit batteries too .... £6 IIRC. I asked about my Merc R320 once (the battery is under my seat) ...... they won't fit a battery on a R Class  ;D

After the palaver I had early last year at a MB dealer I'd be reluctant to let even MB mess with it again.

I recently changed the battery on my car the other week. Using the same technique as you would on an Omega, the SRS got itself in a tizz and needed resetting ........ fortunately my code reader was capable of doing it.
