    E55k Nice one

    I went to see this car this afternoon......the visit workshop came up whilst driving. This was expected as the rear off side didn't rise after I'd lowered it. Could need the airmatic lines may need looking at, may be not. The wheels do need a refurb, although this is in the advert. The pano roof...

    E55k Nice one

    I have a viewing on Friday for the Tanzanite one, it's an hour from me. I'm hoping it's as nice as it looks in the photos, although I'm not 100% sure on the SL65 rims... Having owned two already, one good, (Bryan's old one), and one bad.. I'm trying to be careful.

    E55k Nice one

    I thought so too John. I went to see it today. Was a fair journey too, a three hour round trip! The offside rear suspension didn't seem to want to rise for some reason. There driver's door pillar was very worn/torn. The supercharger belt was slightly worn on one side. The alloys looked like...

    car is totally dead.....

    Is there anything at all showing on the dashboard? I had a similar issue and it was the Electronic Steering Lock that was not functioning. I had dashboard functionality though.

    How cheap can these get?

    I agree, I wasn't looking at SL's until I stumbled upon this one. Now I'm starting to view them as a 'bargain'.

    How cheap can these get?

    Cheaper than that one you're looking at. This one caught my eye when I was looking. I'd say this one is definitely priced to sell but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong. Maybe it's that the guy is called Harry on Gumtree and Jimmy on Fakebook...

    Unfortunately the seller isn't answering some simple queries so I guess it's a no from me. Caveat emptor?

    EIS? Help needed please..

    With huge thanks to the forum and Stevenson's Mercedes in Larkfield. A vigorous, I mean vigorous too as I thought I might break the steering column, the Electronic Steering Lock, (ESL), has sprung back to life allowing the unit to be replaced. Credit too to MSC Autolocksmiths in Kent as they...

    EIS? Help needed please..

    Hi all, I went to start my E350 cdi (265) today and nothing. The key will turn, the mileage shows on the dash but nothing else shows. The radio works, the battery is fully charged but cannot start the car. I can lock/unlock the car and have changed the battery in the fob. Could this be an EIS...
