Mercedes have stopped making the 3 button flip key that I need for my R129. Has anyone got any leads to companies who can supply a fob or re-programme a fob that I got from a breakers?

I'll keep that one in case they don't respond to the first email

I'll have them for a tenner, posted. PM me your paypal please.

I ordered a new infrared 3 button flip keyfob for my R129 from Merc brentford in July, cost £207 and was told it would be 10-14 days from Germany. 3 weeks went past, called up and was told its on back order. Found out last week its NLA! The chap on the parts desk suggested writing a...

I've heard about the seat frames being titanium - especially as they integrated the seatbelt into the seat (which I believe was a first). Them costing the same as manufacturing a Golf is astounding. I've also read about the development costs of the rollbar. As for the grille blades, I'll...

I was searchinf for R129 parts on google and came across this photographer's website where he chronicals his 129 ownership. I began reading his page and was hoping if forum members could shed some light on the following from his page: Mercedes SL500 "Grille The front grill slats are...

Hi want to change the diff oil on my 1999 R129, the parts counter at Brentford quoted me over £40 per litre! Any other options that meet MB spec and are cheaper? Thanks in advance

I decided to get rid of the Alpine headunit that came with my 1999 SL. A contact has a few units in stock and I wanted to get your opinions on which is the one to go for. I want one with navigation, I probably won't use it much but its so damn cool on an older car. My options are: Mercedes APS...

Looks great! I need the weather to improve so I can do mine too

Going to change the hydraulic fluid for my 1999 R129. I want to bleed the old fluid out by taking off the return line. Can anyone identify which one it is? There were no markings on the pump to indicate direction Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies. It's a traffic pro high speed7820 and the car is a late model r129

Where can I get the tool to read the error codes?

I couldn't wait any longer and the weather this weekend helped me justify removing my pano. Gave the soft top a good clean and waterproof today and noticed that the tonneau cover sticks when putting the hood down. I press the button, the windows drop, the rear of the soft top raises - I hear...

Give this a try: Exfoli-mitt ? Medium | Carbon Collective Shop

Do you have any photos of the install?

Summer will soon be upon us (with some luck) and I want to get some more sound out of the SL. I understand that the system currently runs at 1 ohm and the wiring loom goes from the head unit > factory amp > door speakers. I don't want a subwoofer in the boot and was hoping to upgrade the...

Thank you for solving this! Awesome photo too
