you need th get the car to your local dealer as they have a full set, they will then get the bolt off for you and you can buy a new key from them.

As for the caliper, best place is Euro Car Parts or GSF.

One tip when removing these things, one stamp with the foot is far better than pulling or pushing the lever, its the nearest thing that you can get to an impact spanner

Just thinking on this one, as the special socket is broken, ask the MB garage to loosen the others as your broken one will not do it. they have them all in the workshop.

All so well and good if you can get a set the same.

As Jay mentioned you can buy just the new Key, they are about £17.

no what they do is they have a full set in the workshop as often owners have lost their keys. There are only 35 different ones, so they go through them all until they get the right one, then they will order that one in for you..
