    R129 1991 300SL-24 (104.981) no oxygen sensor

    After a long search on what's causing fuel smells in the exhaust and the engine not running smoothly on operating temp, I decided to replace my oxygen sensor.

    '94 R129 - Alarm/Immobiliser problem.

    Oh B****r! NOW I know why the Selca immobiliser is fitted. I got my nice new infra-red flip key from MB, and all was well - until the alarm/immobiliser started to play up. The infra-red remote works most of the time, but not always; not a problem if I can't lock the car - I can use the ordinary...

    1994 R129 -Alarm/Immobiliser/Central Locking question.

    Good evening, all. My '94 SL500 is fitted with a Selca immobiliser, which is now obsolete, and has only one key, so if it goes t**s-up I'm stuffed. I'll have to get it sorted sooner rather than later. I have a three-part question (no starter for ten...): If the MB immobiliser is disabled (as...

    The car is a 1994 SL500. It has been fitted with a Parrot hands-free kit (and an aftermarket immobilizer, but I think that has not affected the audio wiring); all bar one of the OE Mercedes connector plugs (see Note 1 in the attachment) are gone, and the wiring is a right bugger’s muddle of...
