G'day, Wally. :D

Where are you?

When you mention the "SA Merc Club" are you referring to South Australia or South Africa?

Hi Wally,
I have just bought a 1995 SL320 (hard top / soft top roadster) - originally sold in HK. This is my first Merc and I think it is a R129. Since driving it home it will not respond to key fob central locking and is completely shut down. REplaced car battery and those in push button. The central locking responder appears to be part of the rear view mirror with red and green lights to indicate on / off - not working at present. Tried syncing the handset as per book with no luck. Looks wonderful but I want to drive it Any hints? AB in Sydney
