Trying to sell my Merc and BMW (going thru an OCD moment!). Reluctant sale of an original and limited edition SL55. BMW 323Ci | eBay (Car isn't sold - the buyer didn't show up!!). This is the latest so far: Scam - "Living abroad, looking for a present for my father, will send shipping...

Anyone done it? Video? Struggling to find any info......

How does one fully bleed the coolant on the M113 engine? I know there is a pick off at the top of the engine to the reservoir and this "should" automatically bleed the system but I am wondering if it is failing to do so. I think I have an air lock (changed the supercharger intercooler pump last...

Coolant level is exactly as it should be. Car sitting in drive ticking over (from cold). After about 45 minutes temperature is stable at around 85-90 degrees. Fan kicks in if temp rises above this - intermittently. Then without warning, temp rises again, only this time it keeps rising and...

Brings out the dross in droves, doesn't it. Unfortunately even though, given the choice, I'd stay at home, I had to get from a to b on several occasions and therefore am forced to mingle with these morons. Kia's/town cars/micra's/alto's/etc etc. First warning that your journey may be impeded in...

I can see the timeline and reason between the SL500 and the SL55....what was the purpose of the SL500 AMG?

I'm a petrolhead addict, love classic cars and 'different' cars, love taking them apart, tweaking them or rebuilding them. What chance do my kids have then? In ten to fifteen years time, nearly all cars on the road will be stuffed with black boxes or sealed units or chips and millions of miles...

I tend to change my cars around the 2 - 3 year period, usually because something starts niggling me and then it escalates. But my 2002 SL55 is now still with me going into its 5th summer. [I sworn it every winter]. I just can't stop smiling when I drive it and have to stop occasionally as I...

Replacing the "castor" arms on my SL55 AMG Advice appreciated guys. Z

Just had the front "castor" arms (and bushes) replaced by my Indy to get it past an MoT. I'm assuming by "castor" they mean "control arm" - yes?? It's because they discovered no grease at all in the joints and the bushes were worn. They told me the bushes came with the arms. They also strongly...

Posted on "Parts" section also, but need wider coverage... Looking for the head rest part (passenger side). Salvage yards won't sell them separately! Happy to pay including P & P. Z

I need the head rest knob for the passenger side of an SL or S class Mercedes, please? Having searched spares and salvage sites online, several are keen to sell me the entire unit which incorporates the motors behind the panel too! Anyone have this part to spare please. Happy to pay a...

It's well past replacement time for my plugs to be changed. My 'Indie' wants £280 plus vat (inc parts) to do it - god knows what the main dealers would quote! There's not much on the web for advice - maybe one you tube and several posts mainly on american merc sites. I am buying these: NGK Laser...

That damn 'chirp' has come back again. Several months ago I replaced the s/c bearing. When re-assembled, the chirp went away! When it was in the process of being dismantled, I noticed the very fine spacer rings between the clutch and s/c plate. IF these are the cause/cure for the 'chirp', do...

Started with the open/lock becoming more of a hit and miss problem with the remote key. Eventually the remote no longer opens/closes the damn car. Reverted to metal key. Spoke to "Germanpartz" who was exceptional in aiding diagnosis. I've a few checks to do to the car to try to isolate the fault...

Recently, my remote key fob is struggling to open/ close the car doors. New battery in the fob. Why is this? I have to try multiple times and very close to the car - and it's getting worse. Please don't tell me it is the pneumatic pump in the boot?
