[R129 SL] extra keys

[George Jenner]

Jeff, when I bought my SL (used) it only had one beat-up flip out key and the remote was broken.  The first thing I did was check the owners manual to see what keys came with the car when new.  From that I found that there was a key called a "flat key" made to fit all the locks on the vehicle.  I ordered one of these keys immediately from my local MB dealer at far less cost than a new remote flip out key.  I now carry this flat key in my wallet and, so far have not needed it, but it's there waiting just in case.  (I also bit the bullet and ordered a new remote key later)  Any new key ordered will require proof of ownership at the dealer - I guess they all got spooked when the movie "Gone in sixty seconds" hit the big screen.

Happy Motoring, George
