Doggy sitter, I have the latest issue of keys which arrived today along with my ignition switch so I shall try them this evening and get back to you?

no worries and its a good idea, to de-risk this I am using the battery out of my W140 S500 which is oversize, brand new and is removed from a working 140 to do this test!

It’s not impossible but the ignition switch has been up to autotronics and they didn’t report any errors with it, How far away are you? I could collect if you were to be good enough to read my codes

So, long time no speak, ive been busy with reliable motors! I have a W208, the key stopped working so I employed Autotronics to investigate it, they asked for the ignition module which I sent off and they sent me a new key which unlocked the doors but didnt start the engine, the ignition module...
