Took car to mercedes who replaced brake light switch after I had the bas/esp light on. All okay for a few days then happened again and this time they replaced the lateral acceleration sensor. This lasted a few days before the light came on again - again the brake light switch was replaced. A...

Thanks for replies, guess i will avoid Ideal then! Valliant fares well with most so I will head in that direction. Now to find a fitter!
