I had to do this on my S250 (OM651 engine). Was very easy, just unbolting a few bits to get to the sensor. I bought one from Autodoc for £25. Im sure there are videos on youtube you could look at (that's what i did).

Similarly my icarsoft identified the issue as the back pressure sensor. It paid for itself just in that job!
 
Is this still OK to drive please
I wouldn't like to say to be honest - i parked mine up until i fixed it. More because it was annoying to drive as it went into limp mode with strange gear changes, no kickdown and loss of manual control. It was a quick fix once i had the part.
 
You could take it out and give it a clean; see if that helps
