The key will go into the ignition just not turn so don't think it can be the D / P / N lockout. That would also not explain the failure to open the doors

I have since put a brand new battery in the car so not that. I suppose the fact it was running then cut out suggests some kind of immobiliser problem

Summary: - Car is W220 S600 but key system is common to many early 2000's cars - Car jump started and running find - Engine cut out - Key will no longer turn in ignition or operate the central locking, both fine prior to engine cut - usual key re-sync methods have not worked More wordy...

Here is a video of the problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOtpKIjVvNE

Hello, I have a 2004 S211 with a manual boot lid. Recently as I open the boot it sticks when the lid is in the horizontal position, e.g. open 90 degrees. You can apply a bit of force and it clunks beyond this point but is obviously not quite right. I have re-greased all the moving...

Hello, Not much of an update from me. Have simply not had the time over the last 12 - 18 months to do anything worthwhile with the project compounded by a need to store kit for a new business venture has reduced my garage space by a lot. I have recently been inspired to crack on with it...

Don't know about the MOT and things, that is a long way off. It only just fits, very close to the bonnet (I also did a test bonnet fit, no pictures) so it is possible. Next steps are i) rear suspension refresh ii) bodywork Ben

Not much progress, apart from doing a test fit of the engine I have done very little. Apologies for not updating the thread with these pictures at the time (April). Currently half ****dly trying to sell my R230 SL to fund the bodywork restoration of the R107.

£16,999 85,000 miles Full and detailed history Sadly the time has come to sell my 2002 SL 55 AMG. I have wholly enjoyed the car for the 12 months I have owned it but an expensive R107 restoration project beckons. If you are looking for an SL55 you will know that at launch this was the...

Yep it will be OBD. However depending on the age of the donor car it may not be a standard OBD port format, for instance my 1998 S500 had an MB specific connector so I had to purchase an adaptor cable to make it work with an OBD II reader. The Star computer comes with all the cables you need...

No the M104 ECU is modern enough to talk to the Star computer as is the gearbox I will be using so I think it is worthwhile. Depends on how quickly you get the engine running I guess!

MBStar is the diagnostic system that dealers use. It is possible to source your own version if you are prepared to risk sending money to strange Chinamen! I use it on my R230 SL for general diagnostics and have helped colleagues out, it is fairly simple to use and can tell you everything about...

Mine was with an auto box (which I will retain) and an immobiliser. I think I have kept all the relevant bits of loom so it should be OK. I also have a star computer which I think will pay for itself many times over.......

Looks like if my C36 engine had the sump from your M104 it would have fit without the subframe modification...... I have already offered the engine up to the subframe when it was out of the car and found the mounting points were the same as the M103 engine so that is a bonus. Are you...

Wow. Nice job. Which gearbox are you using ?

No the engine is not in yet. I might get time to do a trial fit on Sunday this weekend but this depends on what other more 'important' stuff I may be asked to do by the Mrs.

I have not updated this thread for ages, or indeed looked at it (for shame). This reflects the lack of progress with the car. However some progress has been made. I finally got the sub frame back together and attached to the car (after a few false starts and finally springing for a set of...

Instrument Binnacle now gone.

Wheel now sold pending payment. As above offers welcome on all other bits. Help me free up some garage space !
