New key or repair?

[bigmacplease]

Evening all!

I recently picked up a lovely R170 SLK but it only had the one key and it's a little rough!

I've tried to replace the body with one off eBay but it didn't fit properly! I've managed to get the old one back together but sadly now it's worse than it was!!!

So what is the best option? How much is a new one??? Has anyone sent their away for a refurb?

Thanks!!

Looks like a new one from the dealer. Take your V5, a household bill eg council tax bill and passport/driving licence. Be prepared to part with around £220.

How much???

How much???

Yes, you read that correctly. It may be a touch more too

Generally over £200 for a new key.

Great what a boring thing to spend £200 on!

The Mrs is going to love me when I tell her this!

Nothing quite like a bit of research first!

Once ordered, they come from Germany (and they do not always include the metal blade in that price) it takes around 5 working days to get one delivered.

Was this the SLK bring sold on here with the short MOT, non working A/C, rear brake pipe / hose issues?

No.

I'll just stick with it until next year then get one. Good idea gone wrong!
