My battery is being drained when the car is not driven for a day or 2. I am told by the MB mechanic that is it due to the power seat drawing power while the car is off. Has anyone else had this problem and what can be done. They suggest replacing the power seat moters which is quite costly.

Common fault. Try disconnecting the supply under the seats.
Lots about it on these forums:

How old is your battery? It is probably time to change it anyway.
That was the first thing the roadside mechanic suggested. The battery was original so I decided to go for a new one. It was installed December 23rd, 2006. I just got the car back from the service department yesterday, I would not pay $950.00 USD to fix both power seat moters. I just disconnected them so they don?t drain the battery
