Everyday is a School day w204

I just had to Jump start my Father in Law's 2010 c200,

There i was expecting the large battery in tobe in the boot..... Only to find once id lifted the Black plastic cover to find a Aux battery the size of a Motorcycle one lol

The Main battery was under the Bonnet in front of the Windscreen.

I didn't realize a w204 has 2 batteries!

Yes i was Surprised! I took a Large Slave battery 019 and some Heavy Duty leads to jump off handy having your own Parts business lol , I do love the way Merc's have a Earthing post to save jumping direct off the Battery.

The car started on the 1st crank

I'd like to say Yes lol, But he wanted a Genuine MB battery and the Slave battery i took up to him by the side of the road to jump off was too large to fit in.

He doesn't use the car much so was taking it back home to store for a month until it gets its mot and service at MB Colchester doh... His lucky if he does 500 per year! yes i did say 500 lol.
