No never got anywhere with it. Still works with just the key. Its not a biggie as dont use it that much.

IF anyone is interested Mercedes still do these bowden cables. The short one is £32 plus VAT. Picture of bag with part number. Haven't found longer one and haven't looked as pass seat yet. Be careful of the small blue microswitches when playing with these cables, otherwise can get seat belt...

Does anyone know the part numbers and availability of the seat cable that link to the tilt lever. Both my tilts stopped working. The drivers side one has the short cable ( the one running straight down and a sod to get to ) snapped. Its an early 1990 model. Haven't investigated the...

Well had a play today. Tried all resync procedures with both key fobs. No Luck. Found pinout diagram for the N54 remote module in the boot. Checked and 12v in to pin no 9 from fuse box in boot so that's good. Then checked voltage drop on pin no 18 when using the remote and it is...

Yes Richard. Tried all doors and boot. Nothing responds. Is there a pin out of the controller or a way of testing the IR receivers? Is there anything else in the system, like the roof Ecu. I’m afraid electronics are not my strong suit., so any experience of testing the system appreciated.

Ps. Just redid the blink code reader in port 12 and no faults returned. 1 blink only. So car thinks CL is good.... At a loss now without sending it somewhere. Thanks for reading.

Anyone have any tips on where to start investigating non functioning remote CL. It use to work fine and from quite a distance. Was left a few months and when went to use no remote. So I changed the batteries in the fob. Also I changed the batteries in the second spare fob. Batteries in...

No air pump Graeme. 2175mm or 2176mm poly belt. No visible intake leaks ( Did have one in rocker cover to air filter pipe at rear on Drivers side) but that is now fixed. Will try some carb cleaner when I track down some Bosch coils and replace the CPS if not fixed. Thanks for...

Thanks Graeme again I had seen the pin out but not the other two. PS I meant 80 degrees not MPH :) Yes I thought I would get an Ebay MAS. But alas not unless I want to remortgage my house or order from across the world. Will keep on it. Thanks again.

Thanks Graeme. Plugs are a perfect colour. So I don't think mixture. I don't suspect fuel pressure as when cold it's great. Loads of performance across rev range. Just stumbles when up to 80 plus. Keep suggestions coming as will be trying everything.

Any ideas. I have R129 1990 500SL. Always had a poor (ish) idle. But now nearly un-driveable when warmed up. Stutters and as though on few cylinders. Plugs changed (Correct non resistor champions from Green Plug company), Rotors, Dizzy caps, Dizzy insulation disks (ouch), HT Leads, New...

All bulbs work OK. The bulbs are brand new and identical Halfords super brilliance or something bulbs. Bulbs holders all clean and shiny.. was same before I changed the headlight bulbs so I dont think it is teh bulb or holder - In fact I have since changed one of the headlights and still the...

Any suggestions from knowledgeable members appreciated. Fixed all minor electrical gremlins in my 1990 500 SL apart from one which is bugging me marginally. Any one have info on the bulb warning system. When I use main beam or flashers the warning lamp in the dash comes on to say I have a...

Hi John and anyone else that needs the. Here is a link to all the codes for models to 1998. Also an idiots guide to testing and the codes that apply to a 1990 model which can be used as a checklist. Hope it helps Lee http://lees7.co.uk/merc/diagnostic_codes.pdf...
