Hi all you helpful lot.
My CLK was completely dead this morning. I cannot open the doors even. I have tried the spare key.
Clearly an electric or battery issue.
Problem is I cannot get into the car. I have tried the Blade but it doesn't 'pop' the lock.
The car is 13 years old and the lock has probably never been used.
Is there a 'knack' or do I use WD40?
If this doesn't work, what do I do???
Thanks in advance for your advice

Yep, wd40 should help, attach the red ‘straw’ and poke that into the lock, give a blast then give it a few mins, try your key, gently rocking it. May take a few goes with wd40 but it should eventually free up.

Didn't work and Green Flag were useless
I have booked a locksmith for tomorrow.

on my car, just the driver's door is unlocked with the key/blade & the button didn't pop up as normal, & even with a working battery it was stiff to turn ... you do need to use a lot of force if the battery is dead too.

Plenty of WD repeatedly should sort it.

Can you reach the starter from underneath to carefully apply 12 volts while you use the fob?

Locksmith was brilliant, so clever the way he got in. He said the barrel is not connected. Need to change it.
In meantime will call Green Flag and get them to tow the car to car hospital.
