Also to note our keys are made from the immobiliser on your vehicle - Replacement keys supplied from main dealer are made from chassis number, so if for any reason your car has had an 'ECU kit' fitted from a secondhand vehicle in the past the main dealer key will not work - ours will! Mail order service is available for most model Mercedes vehicles - Please check the list below, if your model is listed as 'Lost key - Yes' then we can make a key without the need for the vehicle to be present for programming - all we need is the 'EIS' (Electronic ignition switch) removed from the vehicle & sent to us - If you prefer you can bring the vehicle to us at our workshop in Norwich to have a new key programmed to your Mercedes vehicle

 Many Mercedes model cars suffer from failing Electronic Steering Locks or more commonly known as 'ESL' - replacement ESL units are very costly & require specialist tools to program them to your car if they are W204 / W207 or W212 models, a simple alternative is to disconnect the ESL & fit an emulator. The emulators for these models still require programming to your vehicle but are a fraction of the cost of replacing the ESL with a new one. All you need to do is remove the 'EIS' (Electronic Ignition switch) & send it to us along with a working key for your car & we will program an emulator that will plug into your existing wiring with no need for further programming thus eliminating the need to replace the ESL. In some cases the ESL will be jammed in the 'Locked' position, if you cannot remove it yourself then you can send us the column with the jammed lock & we can remove it for you.
 Common symptoms of a failed ESL is that the key will turn in the EIS but no ignition lights come on, the car does not crank & there isn't the familiar noise of the steering lock disengaging, there may be a fault code stored in the EIS of 'Fault with or No comms with ESL' but not always

 The Mercedes 'ISM' unit (Intelligent Servo module) sometimes known as the Automatic gearbox ECU regularly fail on W221 and other models, it is not possible to simply replace this unit with a second-hand unit as they are programmed or 'locked' to the vehicle they are fitted to, don't worry - if you are looking for how to replace an ISM on a Mercedes then you have came to the right place as we have the solution! - we can transfer the vehicle data from your original ISM unit to a donor unit enabling the car to start & run again - this process is called 'cloning', simply send us your original ISM & a donor unit with a matching part number & we will have the data transferred and back to you within a few days - please call for further information,

 We can remove crash data from most airbag control units fitted to Mercedes vehicles. Crash data needs to be removed from SRS control units after a car has had collision and a safety feature has been activated such as seat belt pre-tensioners, airbags, fuel cut-off systems etc. This usually appears as the airbag warning light being illuminated and fails to extinguish when garages try to clear fault codes with a standard diagnostic scanner. Simply remove your airbag control unit, bring it to us for stripping and re-programming and usually it will be ready for collection within 24 hours. Crash data removal starts from £40+vat - We can also re-program secondhand Mercedes Airbag ECU's - If you have purchased a secondhand Mercedes airbag ECU from a breakers yard / Ebay etc you will be aware that the chassis number is programmed to the unit 'locking' it to the car it came from - we can reprogram this enabling it to be re-used in a different vehicle, please call for more info
