Thanks for all the responses folks. Zoros, the SL55 would be ideal, I agree totally, but the extra £6k to buy the AMG over the standard SL was the issue :) (and finding one that is clean and not abused at that age) Regarding the pulleys on the Jags I had the top pulleys done at Powerhouse in...

Yes, it not much, I think from 306 to 330bhp-ish. It was as much about improving throttle response as well as power though.

I am looking to get some more power and responsiveness from the car. I also have XJR and XKR (both 4.2 SC) and I feel that the 5.0L in the Merc, whilst not matching the other two should be closer in performance. Bearing this in mind does anyone on here have any experience of remapping Mercs in...

I have now got around to repairing the hole with plasti-dip. Looks OK but as to how long it lasts I am unsure. I checked the near side gaitor and found that that side HAS A HOLE AS WELL!!! So repaired that side while I was at it. Thanks for all your advice on this post.

Hello I am new to this forum and recently bought a SL500 2004. It is my first Mercedes (dare I say on here I have 2 Jaguars; XKR and XJR and just sold a 645) so I am a bit of a V8 car nut. Having seen around 40 500's at auction over this year I finally found one that I felt was suitable, of...

Thanks for the reply Yes, seen them both. Wheels only look pretty poor condition, which to my mind means they have probably lead a hard life (cracked, buckled, etc) I have been emailing the one with tyres, but they wont send me additional photos and say the wheels/tyres quote "have only been...

Hi I have an sl500 with hideous 17" standard wheels and need to replace them with the the Avoir or AMG 18" wheels asap. Please contact me if you have a set for a reasonable price. There is a set of refurbed Avoir wheels on ebay for £1250 which is way, way beyond my budget, hence this post...
