This seems to be quite common on the Merc Auto Range and looks like mines started...
Its intermittant at the Moment...ordered new Brake light switch (Fingers X'd)
But if it isn't this and from what I have read and found its the bit of plastic that brakes that locks it in park via a solanoid....I can not find a walk through on the CL!
Is it the same as the S Class and what part am I looking for, seen a few aluminium ones that have been fabricated to cure it once and for all but not sure were and what part to look for?
When in the garage (quiet, engine off radio off etc) I can hear a machinical movment mech trying to release when I press the brake peddle...the rear brake lights come on 1st then slightly press more and the niose in the gear selection housing happens.
If I repeatadly press the brake and try and get out of park it does (hense ordering the brake switch)
Any pointers would be great...
Was going to start looking at the ABC this weekend but had to raise a gate at the side of the house which took longer than expected.
Then when I get around to looking at the car I hit this issue...trying to reverse out the garage so I can remove front passager wheel to look at the front ABC block....needless to say that never happened!
At least my Gardener can start laying flags next week where the gate was to low....(Having landscaping done at front of house) looking good too.
So may get to look at the ABC tomoz...we'll have to wait and see...also whether bad too....and have to have the main garage door open and the Mercs ars sticking out to work on the front...
There's no leaks at all now
...but still drops overnight 
...I think the pool on the floor was due to too much fluid and the Garage doing the full test on it...
Thanks

But if you do this on your drive...make sure you have a spare set of keys to manualy lock up after.
