Is there anywhere to buy the original starter battery(the small one under the bonnet) or equivalent apart from Mercedes??

Yep, was discussed on here before Christmas. I'm sure you'll find it through the search function.

I'm just hopeless with the "Search" function!

So, anyone know where this thread is??

Without looking for the thread, the battery can be bought from ECP with a discount.

Cheers mate, that thread really helped!

Yep, I'm Maltese & live in Malta but can get it shipped to me as I distribute AUTOLEADS here.

When I bought the car, it had two new batteries just fitted. So, actually a pity to replace the front as it does fit but being around 2cms too high, the clamp cannot be used!

In reality, this was the major problem & from that thread, I got the idea how to secure it in place by means of the wire rope shown. I'll give it a go.
