key

Having recently purchased a 2000 230 CLK (W208) with only one key & I would like a spare key (just in case), do I have to get a new spare key from a Mercedes dealer & get it programmed by them, any help appreciated

I ordered a new infrared 3 button flip keyfob for my R129 from Merc brentford in July, cost £207 and was told it would be 10-14 days from Germany. 3 weeks went past, called up and was told its on back order. Found out last week its NLA! The chap on the parts desk suggested writing a...

This is my first post so please forgive any mistakes. I have problem with one of my car keys. It stopped working. Not locking/unlocking a car, no ignition lights, no engine start. Before it’s happened I noticed that key was plying e.g. not always locking or unlocking doors. I had to be close to...

I have owned three P38 Range Rovers all of which were very susceptible to alarm failure if parked anywhere near radio masts or the like. Car keys stop working on Quarry Wood Industrial Estate, Aylesford

Hi Just purchased a 2000 ML270 (I know its a gamble) but so far drives well and no warning lights, so now starting doing a few jobs on it. Car only came with one key, I believe a replacement is a £250 job from Mercedes (1/4 of the cars value!!!) is there any other options. Thanks

Just returned from from quick supermarket shop and ignition key will not come out. It seems that on the final turn prior to pulling key out, it feels slightly 'sloppy' and not reaching a final click position. Today is Sunday so will return to garage tomorrow but if key is still in ignition can...

Very happy am I. I had lost this key years ago and was gutted :'( But I have just rummaged around the cubby holes in my computer desk and out popped the key in it's original pouch :) It comes in a sealed pouch. Of which, mine has been opened. Some may think I'm sad, but this makes...

The remote key shuts the windows (if open) if I point it at the sensor on the drivers door handle. However, tried this yesterday and it didn't work, even from close up. Is this likely to be a key or receiver issue? PS I have a spare key somewhere so going to try and see if that exhibits the...

For many months it has worked just fine. Now, it will not unlock the car remotely. Or lock it. However, stick the key in the ignition and it works fine. I have swapped the batteries with my other key (which is fully functional) and nothing changes. I know it is transmitting a signal because...

Hi all, New member and owner of 2009 c250 bluetec. Both ignition keys are very difficult to remove from the ignition lock. They require a very good wiggle and pull. If the ignition is just turned to 1 or 2 then before the key can be removed, the engine has to be started and turned off and the...

I have a 2015 A class and this morning I thought it would be fun to try unlocking my car with the emergency key, just to see how it worked. For those who don't know, the emergency key is a traditional blade style key that slide out from the bottom of the fob. I think it only present on newer...

Well I've had a fun filled day... I set off for Middlesbrough at 9 in the Merc and get back to Newcastle at 12 having viewed a job. The drive was good, the car was running great. On the way home I pulled into Teams Valley to get some stuff from Halfords, when I go to lock the car nothing so I...

Are the outer shells available separately for my W203 Estate ignition key (2 button)? The buttons on mine are starting to disintegrate. It's the 2 button version of this

Well the problems continue with this 2002 W220 S320 , on Sunday the Ignition Key stopped working, it flashes when I press the buttons but will not turn in the ignition nor does it operate the central locking, its like the car does not see the key? Have checked the main car battery and that is...

So I bought my car a month ago and have only decided to see if the spare works.. It didn't so I changed the battery, still nothing, it don't make that electrical noise connection sound when you put it into the ignition. Can it be re coded? and also can both my keys have a new code installed or...

So on my 2004 W211, I have the usual key but as you can see below, it is cracked and now breaking up. What are the options these days for replacing this? I suspect I can spend £4m at MB but is there an alternative which won't cost that?

I just bought a big key to undo the oil filter but it seems to be the wrong size. I used a 76mm with 12 sides. Anyone know which is the right one for this car? thanks
