How early do you open on Monday?
I could drop it around 7:30am as I'm catching a flight o/s for a few days.
Any chance of a lift to the international terminal?

I'll be in a 7.10am, happy to give you a lift to the airport.

Thank you Godfather.
Great news Helmet.
I'll be there by 7:30 hopefully
And thanks for the offer to give me a lift.

That's a very satisfactory first step to solving the problem. Michel, your car will be in good hands and, hopefully, will be all sorted on your return. Regards. Styria

Rest assured your Mercedes will be in good hands Michel.

What part of the World are you visiting this time Michel?

Gentlemen,
You are on the money!
I have used the services of Helmet in the past to a very satisfactory conclusion.

Thanks, the EIS is coming online for no reason, I've tried disconnecting power to it with the view of maybe fitting a toggle switch as a cheap fix. With the EIS disabled you cannot lock the doors

Thanks Peter,
I guess we'll chat on Friday morning unless you can find another solution

Could someone, anyone, tell me the meaning of the abbreviation EIS ? It'd be nice to know. Thus, is or has the problem been found ? Regards Styria

Sold the 260E a few years ago.

Miss the 260E it was good to see the car and the new owner Ian & his Wife are looking after the car which is good to see.

Any suggestions for my new moniker-avatar should be?
