thanks for all the info. It is very helpful, now I am in search of a trunk lock. My darling better half locked the keys in the trunk and no one in nola has a sidewinder pick for the high security key so they had to drill the lock after we where there for 6 hours. I may end up having to order parts of the internet because all the mercedes dealers down here will not touch something this old... If there are any recommended sites to order from please let me know.
