    Kent,
    I ordered some parts to replace my fuel injectors on my 560SL from you and I have to tell you I am very impressed with the packaging, shipping and especially including the latex gloves for the the install. You have gone above and beyond. Thanks!!

    I gotta tell you Ken, you saved my bacon with your video and rebuilt steering lock. Mine (107) was sticking more and more and I got the bright idea of spraying some lock lubricant into the mechanism. That was a BIG mistake because any dirt that was helping keep my key turning got washed away and it became almost impossible to work the key. I found your video ordered the replacement and on the day I replaced my steering lock it took a good 20 minutes of jiggling and I even had a pair of small pliers on the old key in order to get it into the #1 accessory position. Getting the old one out was sort of a bugger but the new one almost (much to my surprise) fell into place. Once again my hat goes off to you sir.
    Thanks from Buckley

    Kent you are like an encyclopedia for Mercedes. It has taken you a lifetime to develop your knowledge and you probably know more than someone who spent 30 years working in a mercedes factory. That person would not have knowledge of every system in the car like you do.
    You deserve the title of Professor Mercedes.

    PS: I use the exact same tool(orange handle) for pushing in the pin that I bought from you a couple of years ago.

    I know first hand how much of a brutal pain it is to drill the cylinder out on a w123. If only padlocks are made out of that alloy! I could not turn the key to put a pin in the security hole. I still loose sleep thinking about the trouble I went through haha

      Sure sign your steering lock is worn out... it will be hard to get out but I offer instructions on how to do it with my assembled and tested replacement unit. Click on this link: mercedessource.com/store/1981-1985-240d-300d-300cd-300td-300sd-complete-ignition-lock-switch-and-tumbler-assembly

    There is a 1990 Mercedes on my property. It’s been parked for ten years. I don’t have the key. I don’t have the title. I can’t scrap it and it looks to be worth fixing but I need to be able to at least try and start it. Without a key what are my odds? I need to move it to weld a trailer. I hate this “security” feature.

    • @Mercedessource
      @Mercedessource  Před rokem

      May not be worth it. Even if you can get the tumbler out and turn the switch with a screwdriver your fuel system is going to be all messed up both at the tank and in the fuel injection system.

      @@Mercedessource for now I just need a way to get it in neutral to push it out of the way. Is there an easier way to do that?
