    R129 suspension refresh advice needed

    Top mounts - genuine are about £70 per side. Febi/Meyle about £30. Genuine springs are about £110 per side. Apart from lowering H&R type springs there isn't a great deal of choice in the aftermarket, at least going off Autodoc. Bilstein B4 front shocks are about £130-150 per side. Sachs are...

    R129 Panoramic Hardtop Roof - Amber Red/Saffron £1650

    Used panoramic roof from late model SL280 (M112 V6). The roof came from a late SL280 (M112 V6). I believe it is 548 Amber Red with a 234 Saffron interior but as I don’t have the VIN of the donor car I can’t be sure. It’s in pretty good used shape. The paint is quite swirled and there is one...

    R129 tip - steering wheel vibration

    Can I just say what a brilliant thing the internet is? Last year I needed my ignition switch replaced. Started to drive the car again recently in better weather and was alarmed by the shake in the steering wheel, especially since I have new MB top mounts and springs, along with Bilstein B4s...

    R129 suspension refresh advice needed

    This is a very slippery slope. When you replace X you'll hear something else (Y) go clunk, and go chasing after that. No sense in putting up with it, since you've already spent the money doing X and come this far. I'm talking engine, transmission and diff mounts, subframe mounts, flex discs...

    R129 Roof Control Unit 1298203926

    There's a guy in Canada called James who operates the website MBCluster.com and who repairs them. The price is 500 Canadian so a little over £260. He has quite a few YouTube videos including this one showing his test bench.

    Viewed my first r129 500 today Tempted but nervous

    I'm not saying it's the greatest bargain of all time but it's roughly what the OP is looking for and it's pretty local to him. Go and see as many cars as you can. Check things like the condition of the front strut top mounts and pop off the jacking point covers to see if the tubes are rusty...

    1989 300 C124 Breaking

    Ok. Well my interior is pretty good but there are bound to be all manner of little bits and bobs that I could buy. If you get a moment please could you post the VIN number so I can check the build date. There was a change in Sept 1989 when some components were updated - I think particularly...

    1989 300 C124 Breaking

    Hi Pete I'm in York so can come over to help remove/collect anything and obviously pay in lovely cash. I need the rear internal LH bulb holder from inside the boot. Oh and maybe the rear brake calipers too. Was yours the red car that was for sale outside Goole/Selby earlier this year with...

    1989 300 C124 Breaking

    Hello Pete I have a 1989 300CE and would be interested in a pair of working seat belt butlers and the associated plastic trim pieces. Also a R/H rear headrest vacuum locking mechanism if your car has headrests fitted and the L/H rear bulb holder unit (mine is corroded). I can't PM you as you...

    My R129 500SL Progress

    I tried to arrange an inspection in SW London when I was trying to buy SL1 all those years ago (erm, 2016) but it was a pain in the **** trying to find a time the vendor could do and when an indie had a ramp free. I think Olly at PCS in Horndean, down at the far end of the A3, offers an...

    My R129 500SL Progress

    If you ever do part it out I'm looking for a wind deflector cover in the medium grey. My car was ordered without the deflector but a previous owner obtained one... and the charcoal grey cover that would be correct for a black interior. Nothing ever comes up on eBay in the UK or Germany and the...
