New to MB's .. ML270

Hi

I recently purchased an ML270 with a number of problems .. I think I'm on top of most of them except the AAM .. I'm not sure the AAM is faulty .. My remotes don't work .. I have tried new batteries and re scyn .. nothing .. the door lock switch on the centre console locks all doors but wont unlock, the alarm appears to set whilst I'm in the car but there is no alarm going off .. the alarm LED flashes when the key is in the ignition but stops when I remove my key ... something ain't right.

I have had a STAR report done .. see bottom of page 1 / top of page 2 .. but not sure where to go from here

Any advice / comments

Regards

Stuart

Did you have this SDS report done at the dealer or do you have your own SDS?

When did this problem occur?

Did you just buy this truck.

Hi
I had the STAR done at an independent garage
The problem occured between leaving the dealer and arriving at my local freight yard .. coincidence I know
Have only had the car around 2/3 weeks now

Thanks for your interest

I'm having a little problem understanding when you refer to the dealer and a pvt. mechanic. Please explain.

There could be a possibility that someone purposely removed a component.
