Hello this is my first post :o the car has been fine until this morning but now the engine cranks over but doesn't start. The key fob opens and closes the doors and the lights on the door handle and rearview mirror appear to flash as normal. Tried the spare key but then the lights on the rear...

Hi Everyone I have just purchased a used ML270 Inspiration (2003). My insurance company tells me that I must get a Thatcham Cat 1 or 2 immobiliser fitted for my insurance to be valid. My first question is, does the ML not already have an immobiliser ? If it does, is it Thatcham approved ...

Hello there, After my w123 was stolen, I bought a lovely 1995 w124 estate 2 weeks ago. The only problem is that the remote has stopped working (have changed batteries) and mercedes require a V5 logbook in my name before they will order me a new one. I can still enter the car with the key but the...

Over the past couple of weeks ive been experiencing intermittent starting problems. I have a 1994 E220, ive had the car for 6 months now and had no probs until recently. I open the door using the key as the car doesnt have remote locking, when I turn the key in the ignition the car "tries" to...

I am in the process of sourcing and buying a W124 which like as not might have an aftermarket alarm but NO immobiliser. Most of today's immobilisers seem to be electronic BUT I would like a good old mechanical key one attached to a valve in the fuel line, preferably accessible from sitting in...

The car is a 98 E240. It uses the SmartKey thing with infra-red and radio and is a black fob with a sliding emergency key on the side. Last week, the car failed to start, quite suddenly as 5 minutes earlier I parked it. All it did was turn over for around ten seconds and then the electronic...

My car wont start. I drove out at lunch time for half a mile, got out, did some shopping, got back in a few minutes later and it wouldn't start. I rang my local dealer and he suggests it could be the immobiliser is broken, if the red light doesn't light on the RVM (rear view mirror)...

Hi All I have just purchased a lovely black '92 300CE-24 Sportline coupe which I am absolutely smitten with. It only cost me £3000, which I think is a bargain even with 136k miles. It had one other owner and full service history and is in very good condition. Before this fine machine I...

Hi all! I've been opening my w140 with the key-blade and ignoring the infrared thing, as its had a problem with a dodgy alarm. The mechanic told me today that I can only do this a limited number of times (80-90 or so) before the immobiliser will kick in, and then I'll have to use the...
