Mercedes 2104620320 Steering Column | R129 SL W140 V140 C140 S W210 S210 E

The R129 Co is a UK-based team of auto enthusiasts selling parts and products for Mercedes-Benz sports cars and luxury vehicles. Cars that we ourselves love and drive everyday.

Our parts are of predominantly original Mercedes-Benz or OE (Original Equipment) brand, the use of which best retains the integrity and resale value of these cars. We sell parts of mostly pre-owned condition which often provides a lifeline when their new equivalent is unavailable or unaffordable.

We strive to make buying pre-owned feel like buying new, so our stock is inspected, tested, cleaned, photographed honestly and stored professionally; then our online listings are catalogued accurately. When dispatching, we pack our orders securely with good padding and correct labelling. And our warranty and returns policies are simple and robust for peace of mind.

We're always looking to improve! Your feedback is most welcome. If you've had a good experience with us, why not help other enthusiasts to find us by dropping us a quick review on Google? Also be sure to sign up for our monthly newsletter for enthusiasts and follow us on Instagram.

We hope to see you soon.

Buying The Right Part
1. Use the part number. Nearly every Mercedes-Benz part has a 10 digit part number stamped or engraved on it (e.g. A1298203026 or 1298203026). If this item's part number matches yours, then then the part will fit your car.

If we don't have your number in stock, we may have a superseded part which is still compatible with your car, so please message us and we will diagnose this for you.

2. No part number, or still not sure? No problem, just contact us with the following information:

1. Your car (either chassis/VIN number, UK REG number, or the vehicle's model and year)
2. Your part (part number, function, location and/or description)
3. The problem (e.g 'soft top roof not retracting' or 'ASR light turns on randomly')  

Then our experienced support team will diagnose this for you. In the absence of a part number we will assist as best we can, but please make sure that you're satisfied before buying.

Warranty

Our products are covered by a minimum three month warranty period at no additional charge - see product description for warranty length. (The warranty period begins on the date of dispatch, which can be found in your order confirmation email.)

If your product has become defective and is within its warranty period, contact us right away and we'll ask you to send it to us for inspection. When sending such items to us, customers must pay for delivery costs including taxes and import fees. Following inspection we will replace the product with the same one free of charge.

Warranty is void where damage has been sustained by the customer, which includes water damage, or evidence of incorrect use or fitment that may directly or indirectly have led to any components’ failure. Where relevant we will ask for written evidence of the procedure used to fit the part and the qualifications of the fitter.

Contact us if you have any further questions about warranty, including extending your warranty period if you would like to.
