I did a search on here and found that someone in the US was looking for one of these. Part A203 545 1003. Not sure if that's for the whole thing though. I just need the plastic positive terminal cover. It had lost a pin on it already but I took it off yesterday to charge the battery but didn't put it back on again and then did a 20 mile journey. Image below from my previous car. I suspect I would need to buy the whole part. Anybody in the UK tried to find one ?

Hi Jeff,
That was quick ! Thanks very much, I'll see if I can get one ordered 👍

Actually Jeff - I think that part is for the battery terminal cover rather than the pre fuse box on the drivers side. The one that allows you to charge without needing to take the battery cover off.

Thanks Jeff. There's no image on that to verify whether it's the right one. This is the part and the cap. I think I may be hard pushed to find the cap on it's own.

Yes that seems to be bringing up the correct image. Cheers Jeff. I'll give my nearest dealer a call with that part number. Let you know how it goes.

Just a thought, but if you have a 3D printer or a friend with a 3D printer, you could make the cover out of whatever. Probably PETG, PC, or maybe TPU.
I print things that are missing from my car all the time. I printed rear mudflaps and a bunch of plastic retainer clips.

Hopefully it shouldn't be too much for the OE part but I'll post it on here for any others that may need it as those plastic pins that hold it in place are not very robust. I don't have a 3D printer sadly. No friends either 😂 Well not where I've just moved to.

Lots of hits on ebay, but £20 seems a bit steep!! I've no idea why i'm surprised at this!

Hopefully that part number is just the Cap. I've not had a chance to call the local MB dealer part dept yet but will do this week.

As promised here is the part if anyone else is looking for it. About £7.80 from Mercedes Dorchester. Had to come from Germany. I should have ordered two really.

great AS i posted in post #8 & #10

 

[mercfolkprog]

Yes, as you posted in 8 and 10 but with a picture and a uk price in case anyone wondered what the cost was. Which I thought was quite reasonable actually.
PS Thank you for your help finding it.
