Ah....SPBSASW....Mobilo man is my new super hero. He went to the nearest MB dealer and returned with new and appropriate battery £136.00. Scoffed at my mention of Star diagnostics (We're way beyond that now) and politely suggested I'd nudged the speed limiter - the car hadn't gone into limp mode. Oh joy, no mechanical disasters, no charges beyond the price of the battery and no long wait for a workshop to squeeze me into their busy schedule. Top down motoring is restored to it's rightful place in the sun.
Important note of thanks
Unless I'd avidly read this forum, I wouldn't have known I had Mobilo cover. I couldn't have bandied terms like 'Star diagnostics' or 'limp mode'.
Who knows, I may now take command of the speed limiter controls. I'm learning my Mercedes.
