    SLK 350 -Water in the boot

    A word to the wise. I have just replaced my central locking pump in my slk at the cost of £600. The garage that fitted it for me insisted I turn up with a very strong bag to wrap it in once changed out. So out came a clear rubble bag and hopefully it should not be affected by any more leaks etc...

    Thanks all for your comments. The story so far. I contacted the dealer that sold me our car and after he spoke to the warranty firm they have agreed to cover the cost up to £500.

    All has been revealed after the visit to the MB garage/breakers and a go on the star diagnostics box. It would appear that even though it looked fine there was a problem with the good old central locking pump unit and it looks like it may be £425 plus VAT. It's in for its new one on Wednesday...

    The guys at the breakers said something about reseting things with the star test and this may sort out some of the problems the car has. Any truth in that?

    Hi all. Now I'll start with an apology in case I have put this in the wrong place. I'm sure that someone will move it if I have. Now for some help please. I have a 02 R170 SLK 230 which was bought for the wife. When the interior lights are switched on they stay on. I have checked the door...

    Hi

    Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. The wife decided that as her friend had a SLK she would like one as well so we have just purchased a SLK 230 in silver. I am hoping over the coming weeks and months I will be able to call on the wealth of experience out there to keep it ticking over and...
