Well I’ve just changed the starter battery in my SL as it was 14 years old because my key wouldn’t turn in my ignition, only to find out it wasn’t the battery, and yes, it was the original. It’s funny how some batteries last longer then others.....

Hi all
New alternator fitted, I went for a new Bosch one at £268 + £75 to fit plus vat = £411. I could have got a MB from MB Newcastle for £63 inclusive. I looked into batteries & they can't post them so had to call MB Watford £160 & £70 plus VAT which wasn't a lot more than Newcastle. I haven't bought them yet-all seems well at the moment with no malfunction messages. I am going on a longish run & tomorrow plus it is turning colder on Thursday so will see how things are then. Thanks to everyone for their help & comments-much appreciated as always. Rob
