From what I've seen of similar Mercs with simialr sounding problems, someone will have fitted a 'cheap' non stop start battery and then something in the cars many ECU's will have shat itself. Used to work with a guy who had it happen so badly that even a decent auto sparks turned round to him and said 'sell the car'

In the case of the battery drain, you could always just get one of these cheap solar battery chargers that plug into the cigarette lighter. I got one with the SL500 I bought and it seems to do a great job keeping my E65 ready to start even after weeks of no action.

Keeping the battery charged is a little more gentle on the car's systems but that there works as well in my E38😄

Never been welded always scares me, but this Hillman looks solid.

Metro based "TT" with a self-sustaining ecosystem in the footwell. Lovely.

I always find it ironic that these kits were made as the TT MK1 was worth an order of magnitude more than a metro. 

Where as now, a tidy standard Metro is worth a fair bit more than a TT MK1.
