Workshop manual procedure for replacing the Alarm siren on a SL55 AMG

Since I got my SL55AMG the Alarm siren did not appear to be working.. indicators would flash, but no siren. The fault code seemed to confirm the siren was faulty.. today I fitted a new replacement from MB .. quick and easy to do, only took 40mins. The siren as most will know suffer from water...

Windscreen washers now fixed! The parts arrived.. replaced all the rubber grommets with new OE. put it all back together.. everything is now working as it should! Parts numbers below Pump was about £30 and the grommets About £2 each.

Perhaps she would like to be called 'Arnold'

Such a shame... Iconic British brand.. no doubt soon to be swallowed up by another overseas company.. Even Bond can't save it..

yes... price should always reflect condition.

That was her question to the "Trainers" they told her to begin the announcement without a preamble... seems a bit rude to me.. Good morning/ afternoon, evening everyone was my suggestion. ( and Keep it down in the cheap seats! )

My wife had to go on a training course a few weeks ago... with her Airline. During the training they were told they could no longer make announcements beginning Ladies and Gentlement... presumably on the very slight off-chance someone who was Either , Neither or both might be offended. She...

I changed my Merc Discs at 45k miles on my E350 S207 for a similar reason... with genuine ones... now at 73k miles... if they need doing again I will go the Brembo route too... good luck let us know how it goes... My first Discs was seized on and even twatting it with a mallet wouldn't free...

Good luck with this.... I understand your anxiety... I would visit them in person tomorrow... unannounced...you can tell a lot from a person's body language.. and will see if your old car is still there.

How very dare you! 😁 :devil:😁:banana:

Looks like it wants to eat anything in front of it! :devil:

Starting first with the Speedometer... pull the two bulb holders gently to the rear and replace the bulbs with the push fit LEDs... check they work as they only work one way round. next the Tachograph which has one bulb.. and is fitted in a spring loaded holder... pull to rear to remove the...

Time will tell... I also upgraded the dashboard from its weak 1980s illumination to LED. I found a UK company who have been very efficient and helpful with next day postage if ordered before 1pm (Details below) This is for a W460 model mine has a Tacho. First remove the rear of the instrument...

The difference was Amazing. Took the G out to road-test the new LED headlamps... very impressive... good wide beam spread... sits below rear window of cars I'm following.. crisp clear white light.. excellent on dipped... and very fast reaction of main-beam... milliseconds as opposed to half a...

32 year old H4 Headlamps.. upgrade to LED Bulbs. I ordered a pair of these new H4 LED Bulbs to go in my standard W460 headlamps.. from http://www.classiccarleds.co.uk the same people i bought my dashboard LED illumination bulbs from. They cost £58.33 plus VAT per pair.. (Free UK Postage) and...

Car 'Collectors' who don't drive them but just see them as a commodity are pushing up prices... a collector will buy it and stick it in a garage for a few more years... future classic? I think so.

I see the SL shop now look after R230s... too far away from me to even consider them... They are in business to make money.. something they didn't do for the EV SL (£200k development cost.. sold for £40k including buyers premium) I wonder if they were testing the market for a production...
