After a quick bit of help from C55 owners!

Hi Chaps,

Was after a quick bit of help from somebody with a C55. Mine is sat nose in into an iso container in a bonded warehouse here in Australia with a dead battery!

I am after replacing the battery so customs can remove the vehicle from the container.

However I am unsure of the spec to replace it with. The MB dealers in Perth wanted $507 for a new one, plenty in stock. No wonder at that price!!

So could somebody grab the specs from theirs when they have a second please.

Cheers

Terry.

Thanks for your help Sav. Picked up a new battery and fitted it inside the container today.....god it was just not hot enough inside that thing!

So just got to wait and get it inspected by customs now and pay a wedge of tax on my own car! Grrrr......

Still, I reckon it does look good in the sun!
