Please can anybody advise where I can get a key replacement for a w124 1991, just bought it and the last owners can't find the keys? I have tried merc dealership no joy? thanks

Just to clarify you have no keys (plural) at all ?

 

[eddie007]

How are you starting the car?
You bought a car without any keys?
I hope the cost of a new key is being deducted from the price you paid.

I would contact RMK who can hopefully make a new key for you. You'll need the V5 and some ID to prove the car is yours.

I don't think RMK can do a key for the w124 as early as this one

Eddie007 people on here will do all they can to help but I for one am really curious as to why anyone would buy a car with no keys unless it was a scrapper/parts mule.

I hope it works out OK for you. Good luck

its a 300ce 24v I can't brake it for parts too rare. plan b was to try find 2nd hand ignition barrel if I can't source a new key from somewhere?. I bought two a 300e 24v with key and this one off same chap who had them stored outside for yearsthanks

It wouldn't surprise me either, but thought it worth mentioning, just in case.

You could try the below method in video, it seems to be possible without a key.
