E 200 estate 1999
Hi Everyone
I have a 1999 e200 estate. Good reliable car and 99% of the buttons all still work! However, recently, the tailgate lock has been intermittent. I test it each time I lock the car with the remote and if it hasn't locked I use the manual key. However, the keyhole is awkward to see at night as its hidden away so I wondered if anyone has any ideas? My local garage -usually very helpful and trusted - say the whole lock system needs replacing at about £250 and the car isn't worth that repair. Does anyone know which part may need stripping/cleaning/lubing? The solenoid must work as it is intermittent and all these MB parts seem to go on and on. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to solve it economically? Thanks in advance for your help. Edward
 
Hi Dec that all looks useful. I will take it all apart. If there is a similar problem at least I will know the part to get! Thanks again. Edward
