locks

I have a 55 plate C200 CDI, both of the remote keys will only work when up against the sensor on the drivers door handle, and recently that is only occasional. The local main dealer has confirmed that it is not the remotes themselves. Has anyone come across this and know of a cure?

Hi, As a disabled person I find working on cars very difficult so when I need work done I have to save up and then get it done at a garage. When I got my CLK 320 W208 I started searching for a really good independent garage. By per chance I read on here of Mr Locks and I decided to try them as...

Hi First time poster! My lovely 1998 Merc E250 Diesel was broken into yesterday, the idiots broke both door locks and the ignition barrel in their attempts to steal what is to anyone but me, a worthless old car. Does anyone out there fit replacement locks/ignition barrels and how quickly...

Hi, Another problem with my 250D. After swapping the doors over from the 230E central locking locks itself! It is very temperamental and may have something to do with the boot lock but I am not sure. It has locked itself yesterday while the car was running! If not the fact that the...

Hi folks, This seems to be a common problem affecting differant models. A/B class and C class etc. My Wife has a 2006 B170, and the drivers door lock is doing the bouncing rat-tat-tat thing. The front pass door was done last year by Mercedes as a "good will" repair. It appears that good will...

Hello I cannot gain access to my 200ce coupe with the key from the drivers side.The button will not pop up.:wallbash: Drivers side button pops up if I unlock from passenger side Any clues how to fix please:thumb:

Mrs D's passenger side lock starting playing up on Friday night. When attempting to lock it attempts several times in short succession but then gives up (sounds a bit like a machine gun). All the other doors lock fine. Strangely, when driving the door does lock (tested by attempting to open...

When I bought the car, the driver and the boot locks were not prepared to work (estate W124). I have Mr Haynes and am attempting to start with the driver door. I've did what it says in the book, but the key in the lock wont turn, even when I do insert the key, there is no sound of mechanical...

Hello, I have just become the owner of a 1985 230TE. I have a key to the ignition and one to the tailgate, but nothing for the passenger and drivers door! :crazy: Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced source? Cheers Peter

Hi all, I'm going to be breaking my 280e saloon this weekend and someone wants the door lock barrel assemblies - How hard are they to remove? Thanks Details of the car here: Retro Rides - Breaking Mercedes 280e W123 - Coventry

I flushed the coolant system and fitted a new thermostat along with fresh antifreeze coolant today. The problem I now have is that it is now running too hot. It can't be air in the matrix as the heater has never been so hot. I'm talking melt your eyeballs hot:D But the temp gauge rises...

For some time my w210 e class has odd electrical problems, but disconnecting the battery has always rihted them. The latest is today. drive off all ok. Stop for an hour and now wipers and washers not working, door locks not working, rear interior light works, but no the front, indicators not...

My Father-in-law has recently been burgled and one of his cars from the garage taken. They also tried to take his 1989 SL300, but the immobiliser did the trick. Trouble is, they made off with the keys for the Merc, so he now wnats to get the locks and ignition replaced. Does anyone know the...

looking for a boot lock and passenger lock and matching key for pre facelift w124 200e. not really interested in a full lockset unless its dirt cheap, im on a budget! thanks in advance paul.

I have a problem with the drivers door lock, in that the key goes in, but then you cant turn it.. Its annoying rather than serious as I can open everything from the passenger door or boot... I am going to remove it, to clean it and see if the problem can be identified... If not, I was wondering...

I bought a set of locking wheel bolts with the wrong thread diameter by mistake. They are virtually as new and fit various Mercedes. Think they are M14 thread. Part number is B 647 0144 Cost £52 new. Asking £25 plus post.

I am suffering intermittent interior lights coming on and the door locks unlocking on my E320CDI Estate. This tends to happen when going over a pothole or speed bumps, particular if the car is turning. Having inspected the door sensors (the spring plunger type) I think the problem is either...

E220 CDI estate 2002 - problem with interior lights coming on and door locks opening when driving - often happens during braking. Sometimes the interior lights remain on when the car is stationary, ignition is off and doors are closed - the car will not alarm in this state. Opening and closing...

Hi, I am a new owner of a 1995 S320. The remote locks do not work despite the lamps near the handle ligting up green and yellow....so the remotes are working. Can someone tell me where the vacuum pump is on this car so I can check to see if it is working? Thanks! Bill, Dallas Texas
