    R230 Keyless not locking drivers door

    Not tried the other key yet, but I will tomorrow, hadn't given that a thought. The passenger side is fine and was not opened with the key when I had flat batteries in, so annoying, but then nothing lasts for ever :-(

    R230 Keyless not locking drivers door

    That is another option, thanks for the link, what is still grinding is that it only happened after I changed the batteries, it was fine until then. Obviously all your advice is sound, but could there be a possibility that by unlocking the door with the key that I may of "unset" something, just...

    R230 Keyless not locking drivers door

    hi guys, until recently I've not had any issues with the keyless, I recently changed the batteries in both keys, went back to the SL and nothing. Did the usual search on YouTube and the problem was the key was not recognised, so obviously tried to sync. It was then I noticed that the infrared...

    R230 ROOF RUBBER CLEANER QUERY

    Hi Jay, thanks for the info. The Indie I have used a couple of times now is Stevensons, New Hythe, Kent.

    R230 ROOF RUBBER CLEANER QUERY

    Hi guys, Finally found an R230 (after looking at around 20) worth my hard earned money. I have a little creaking from the seals so I will be applying some Krytox as soon as I have purchased some. My question is, what is the best way to clean the rubber before I apply the Krytox? Would it be...

    Firstly apologies Monkeylegend for getting your name wrong, no idea where that came from, secondly I think that you may be right with both thoughts. My thinking is either buy another at the right money and risk something failing as I drive away, or buy this knowing that I would need to spends...

    Thanks Monkeyhead, I had already found it So in your opinion it's worth a punt? And the price, I was going to try to have a deal my CLK (which is solid) plus cash. I don't use my car that often anyway so I could use the cash I save buying can go towards further restoration.

    It's up for £4500, heated cooled seats keyless go and I would assume a standard pack, sat nav etc. He has said that he gave it a service, so not by indie or Merc, 2xbatteries, new radiator and coolant, new gearbox oil cooler and fluid change, replaced faulty ABC pipe and changed the fluid, also...

    Update, it's amazing what you can find on the web, the guy has written a blog on another site and I'm impressed with the work that he has carried out to bring the car up to the standard it is now, however I am also aware of the shortcuts ie using a PSE from a CL or parts of it? There are still...
