Needed a main battery for my W212. Local MB quoted £271. MB Grangemouth quoted £151 including courier, which was great. They phoned back a few minutes later to inform me that delivery was now waived, so £142 including forum discount. Well, I know where I'm getting all my parts from in the future!

Yes, it has option 475, thanks for that. Just on the off-chance, do you know if these sensor are standard things I can get from ATS or are they manufacturer specific MB items?

W212 125 Edition. I have swapped out the AMG 18" for winter tyres (Mercedes 17"). Now my car is saying the monitor is inactive as there are no sensors. Am I being thick, but doesn't it function when the wheels are rotated or did the AMG's have an external sensor? :confused: I'm a bit...

I just pm'ed you with an offer. -Joe
