    "Steamy Windows" SL R230... and we 'aint talking Tina Turner!

    MBU3000 not accepting code or passkey

    W208 Cabriolet Bow lock Actuator Failed

    I have just had the same problem and replaced the actuator, and whilst its not too difficult a job, it takes quite a while, as there are so many plastic trim clips and bolts to undo.
