I'd just ring or email a few MDs and see what they quote for the parts. MB Newcastle on ebay can be quite good although they were the ones that were adamant about the (wrong) part number. I think they are Hella parts (I'll check) but I don't recall seeing them on autodoc or similar.

In the end mine was supplied for me so I went OEM. For the OP I saw a video on YT of someone removing one and stripping it completely, drying it out and reassembling. It did then work but it looked quite a lot of work.

I didn't find any aftermarket ones. That doesn't mean they aren't out there but I did look. Having said that ali express are doing these if you feel brave https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006497167929.html

This... Not this..

You have the correct parts, important as I had 2 OPCs tell me it is A221 820 17 56 which is the non amg part. But supply, no sadly. I looked on ebay for ages and nothing came along so in the end I went to opc and yes they are expensive. Oh and you can change them from the front without removing...

I thought I'd add a little to this thread as I've just changed mine. The varta battery is currently NLA but there are others, I bought a Yuasa. Same spec, size etc but, as I discovered, the terminals aren't threaded. Looking at all the other small, lawnmower/motorcycle batteries I have most are...

It is a tad optimistic...

It's a bit of a tough call between having a van load of undesirables arriving at your home to "view" your car and immediately removing a large group of prospective buyers by not giving them your address as above. You'd hope that if they came to view they would be interested in buying but sadly...

litres per 100km? Did you buy it from or are High Peak Autos then?

Looked an ok sort of bus in the end but you know it's going to cost him £2-3k to put it "right" but I suppose even then for a 90k ml55 that's not too bad.

I had the esp lights when the tracking needed doing, steering wheel all to **** so I assume the car couldn't relate the direction of motion to the wheel angle and assumed a crash was imminent. If you are getting lots of warning lights maybe the battery voltage is a bit low. Give it a good charge...

Missed that it was imported. It's a bit less shouty than my 63 but easily mapped to 63 power if you wanted. Cheaper than an equivalent 63 too but not by a lot.
