Just for shats & giggles, I, for the first time since buying the car 4 yrs ago, put the spade key in the door instead of using electronic ingress as usual. It fit but gave no inkling of turning / unlocking the car.
I confess testing the physical key in the door didn't occur to me @ time of sale. Is it possible that, the tumbler had filled with crud after not being penetrated in god knows how long (it was 10 yrs old when I bought it in 2009 and may never have been tested for all I know), or that the key / tumbler combo was a mismatch from the getgo? I don't want to go around wantonly spraying WD40 everywhere and really mess things up. I am nervous in that I am one dead wristwatch battery away from being permanently locked out of my car. 99 E 320 DBV, information minister. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
