Just bought an SLK - best specialist forum?

[teembo]

I’ve just bought a 2004 SLK 350 and it has a problem with the keys remote not working. Any recommendations for the best U.K. SLK forum to start asking questions ? I’ve already done a bit of lurking and see that there are often problems with the remote keys but none of the solutions have worked for me thus far. Thanks.

SLK World forum was always a good one when I had an SLK.

You should be able to get a replacement key programmed at a locksmith if you don't want to go the dealer route. MB did not lock that down until 2014.

And they sorted me out ! Much help offered and I am now older and wiser.

If you're on Facebook try here.

There are some very knowledgeable people there, but being Facebook there's a fair share of clowns too, just sort the wheat from the chaff.

Ha Ha - we did an slkworld meet at the nearest Sainsbury nr Beaulieu for 'simply mercedes' and the slkowners club ended up doing a pre-meet in the same car park as us.
Once they found out we were from slkworld they turned quite frosty. Was so funny to witness.

Sounds hilarious, like a bunch of teenage school kids.
