Urgent urgent help!!!

[Gollom]

220 CDi has been on a neighbours drive for a few days and the alarm is going off (due I think to power leak somewhere as brand new battery is totally flat)

How do I turn the alarm off?

Disconnecting battery of course has no effect

HELP before neighbours kill me!

Bring another battery to jump-start the car?

As far as I know the alarm sounder has built-in NiCd batteries so can't be stopped until the internal battery is discharged.

That's how it was on my previous car (not MB) and I think it's pretty standard setup.

Jump leads in the back of your loaner. They are in a plastic tub to the left of the jack, keep digging youll find em. The battery is new in that estate and would start a truck. Unfortunately its under the boot floor and may not be easy to get at.

Happen use the battery of Sue's car.

Turned out it's the seat controller causing the drain - £250 plus vat for the part alone! Gottta be done though as I can't sell the car without it being right!

There is a repair to do this rather than replace. Do a google search
