    C180 Central Locking

    Thanks Dec. Just as I got your post, my wife arrived home and her key worked. Then tried my own again and, needless to say, it worked too. Technology - bah! But I'll replace the battery anyway. Again, many thanks for your help

    C180 Central Locking

    I knew no good would come of it, but I gave the old girl a good interior cleaning this morning. Since then, any attempt to lock the car results in both red and green lights flashing, about once per second. The only way to cancel this is to start the engine (phew!) and switch off the ignition...

    C180 Driver's Door

    C180 Door Done it. It's actually broken something further: the gizmo where the metal strap enters the door has sheared its mounting and has parted company with the door. That said, the whole thing is working now, smoothly and quietly. Thanks again, chaps. Me, I'm off out to sit in and...

    C180 Driver's Door

    1995 C180 Elegance. VERY loud clunk when the door is opened beyond about 30 degrees, and again as it is closed. Sounds like a very strong spring whacking one piece of metal into another. Anyone come across this?
