What colour is the third brake light on the boot lid. Mine needs replacing and Mercedes supplied a red one. I think I prefer clear, but on checking they may have been smoked lens originally? Thanks

This is the one for the supercharger. Has anyone fitted one? Just wondering how easy they are to bleed once fitted? thanks

When i run a scan it comes up with the results in various sections of the car. It’s a bit of a pain as you do not know what sections have faults and you have to go in and out of each section to find out. Is there a way to do a complete scan and get a complete list of fault codes ? thanks

I’ve only just become aware that my SL has some designo interior options. I also have carbon fibre interior trim and have always wondered whether it was factory ordered or added later. Was carbon a designo option for the R230? thanks

What’s the best source for a workshop manual for an SL55 AMG? I had the WIS virtual manual but it’s a nightmare to use, and now that it’s been updated I can’t find my way around it. thanks

I’ve bought a Kenwood DAB/BT unit and it recommends fixing the aerial to the windscreen. Anyone done this? Is it easy to remove the trim from the A pillar? cheers

Hi there I just bought this on ebay and unfortunately it got damaged in transit - it was well packaged, or so I thought. Will this affect the operation? Can I weld/glue the piece back? With what? Thanks

Hi there, I have owned my car for 15 months and this warning has always appeared when I start the car. It does not reappear whilst driving so I have lived with it. I fitted the relay 57 initially but that hasn’t sorted the issue - although that and terminal 61 are mentioned when I run a scan...

I got an ABC warning workshop visit today. When I got home I opened the bonnet to find oil sprayed on the inside from the reservoir. I understand this is likely to be an accumulator and I think it’s the rear. I’ve decided to replace all the accumulators. what side of the car are they on and how...

My SL55 came with carbon fibre trim when I bought it and i had assumed that it was a factory option - is that likely to be the case? Was it a factory option? Cheers

My SL55’s centre vent unit’s plastic has degraded and become sticky all over - and where it is in the middle of the dash is an eyesore. So I ordered a replacement from the US which is in great condition. What I didn’t notice was that the two small controls for the temperature are not there -...

I bought 5 discs on ebay and the instructions for installation are horrendous - and I look after our IT at work!! Has anyone done the install? Can you help?? Thanks

I need to change the K57 relay. How do I move the bootlid out of the way into service mode? At the moment I can’t remove the panel to gain access to the relay. Thanks

Hi there, The K57 relay (one of two in the rhs of the boot area) needs changing. I went to have a look today and started removing trim panel fasteners etc, but the deeper I dug, the more it appeared needed to be removed. I gave up before I broke something and tried looking for tutorials. I...

Hi guys, This is my first post as a SL55 owner. Ive been watching SL55’s for a while now, following a ride in one, and finally took the plunge - I love it! Initially I was set on an Aston Martin v8 Vantage but now I’m not so sure! Mine is a 2003 five owner car with 65k miles. The colour...
