Probably for the whole of 2018, although I'll be back now and again

I've heard of places charging around £25.00 a week. I live overseas and want to store it somewhere secure. I already store it somewhere inside and pay for this, but the guy isn't the most careful. In the last 2 years he's broken a indicator, fried my roof module ECU after jump starting it and...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good value car storage facility in Sussex / Kent. I want to store my SL500 for a while. Ideally a place with trickle battery charge facility, maybe occasional starting and running. I don't want to pay an absolute fortune of course, but I've not explored what...

Thanks Jay, I'm only in the Uk for another 6 weeks....I hope it's possible soon! I'm glad that there has been pressure on Mercedes

It seems that new remote keys with immobiliser chips are no longer available! I stored my car with someone who has 'mislaid' my spare key. Fortunately I got a new one produced by Mercedes in April, however I phoned two main dealers today and their system once again says that they are not...

The service guy said it should work straight away, but if not, he said just put the key in the car, turn to position 2 and with it in the ignition, press the button a few times. As mentioned, my new key didn't open the doors, so I used the old remote, then did as he said. It didn't work at...

I've just picked pick up a brand new key from my local Mercedes dealer and it cost £210. I needed my V5, photo ID and a photo of the Chassis number plate by the drivers door. I had the car with me when I ordered it, so the sales person took a photo for me. It was delivered to the dealership 5...

Hi all, I have had this AMG bumper for some years now. I bought it with the idea of buying a W124 Coupe and fitting, but that never happened! As you can see, it's been filled with a lot of fibreglass, but I am sure it can be fitted, if the work is done. I live overseas now, so it's been...

The SL Shop also sell them

I can see why it is so rare!

However, mercedesreplacementkeys.co.uk emailed me this week saying that if I take my car to them, with my current remote key, they can supply a new flip key with transponder and remote central locking. Great news!

Interesting, I have a 1997 car and I was told by Lookers Mercedes in Brighton: "Unfortunately we are unable to supply a complete key for your vehicle however the batteries can be replaced and we can order a metal key blade for emergency use. In order to order a new blade I would need copies of...

Does anyone know where I can buy a new / replacement empty key fob, so that I can transfer the internals from my 'one and only' remote key! I know I can get something from Ebay, but I worry it won't be good quality. Is it an easy job to take a part and transfer the bits? I'm hoping that a...
