Hi all. I live in Amsterdam now after many Mercs in the UK (r129's and w123's plus modern ones) so have a car choice some will be unfamiliar with being lucky enough to be out the UK and have the choice of LHD GLK's. However, engines are the same and both seem to have their issues; I'm torn...

Evening all. Some time since my last posts having sold my SL (to the mother in law!). I've been missing my Merc fix since running an old e34 beem, which whilst it's been a good car really isn't up to old Merc quality standards. So, I now live in Amsterdam and am fortunate enough to be looking...

I've had just had a very odd conversation :( My car got hit by an appallingly driven National Express Coach last week and I left a message for MB Chelsea and MB Brentford as the official bodyshop to call me. I took the car to MB Brentford for a quote, £2,500, ouch, but the car's best being...

Right! Second time lucky. The previous ad wasn't working propperly so re-posted. Links to the ad's below. For sale my beloved 300SL-24 in the beautiful (and rare) colour of Bornite. Alas I need four seats for friend and family duty, and not being a vertically challenged family I can't force...

Just a quick heads up for D:Class in Woking who do trim, convertible roofs etc. Took my car there yesterday to get the passenger sear re-stuffed (although apparently that's what they're like when they're new - damn uncomfortable then). David and his team are very pleasant, decent and...

Evening all. I have a problem that's just reared it's head with my 94 300 SL-24. Bear with me whilst I explain properly :o The car is fitted with an aftermarket sigma alarm and immobiliser system which operates the central locking too. It locked the doors and boot, but strangely did not...

They're obviously trying to shift the last current models as they have text me 17 times so far offering me 3 grand off. a) stop texting me! If I was abroad and paying to receive text's you'd be getting a bill.. b) would need to be more than that off! Double it and then we're talking...

Evening all. I've got decent tyres on my SL, Michelin Primacy HP and some Conti's. All are relatively new. When I got the car the wheels were repainted and the weights removed. I subsequently got the wheels rebalanced by Kwik Fit; must have been by a trainee as they were horrendously out...

I know some of us like to keep our cars clean, but cleaning it naked? WTF :eek: Naked man spotted in car boot on Google Street View - Telegraph Only in Germany...... :D

Afternoon all. Quick couple of questions - I've got a 75,000 mile one of the above. Recently parked the car on a sideways slope after a long run and the tappets rattled for a few seconds when starting the engine again. Guess the oil had run out of some of the tappets, perhaps due to the...

Anyone used these guys? Want to get my alloys refurbished properly, as a blow over when I bought the car's now peeling all over the place and the silver paint wasn;t properly applied - flat in some places and over-shiny in others :doh: Would normally use Lepsons however A) They're in...

Evening all. This is going to be a bit hard to explain but I'll try my best! Seemingly the front right hand side suspension on my 94 R129 SL is making an odd noise. It's most noticeable when I'm manouvering the car out of my space and it's on polished concrete. Less so when on the move and...

As it says in the title, my motor is fitted with the 8 hole alloys and is a 94 300SL-24. I guess it was built in 93 and is of course pre-facelift when they changed to the 280 and 320. The alloys either need a complete refurb (as I'm very fussy), or I will change them completely. I actually...

Hey all. just back from a long weekend away which was great, but what greeted me was not so great. Left the car at the airport with the hard top on whilst away - have come back and the damn drivers footwell is wet (not swimming in water, but not far off). :mad: It's damp on the right hand...

Hello all. Another early post but an intermitent problem. Just posted one about electrics! I've got a 94 one of the above - the engine idle has suddenly started to go haywire for no apparent reason - it was idling very smoothly at 600 rpm or so, and over the last few days has started to...

Hello all! One of my first posts so please go easy! Come over to the light side from the dark side of a new BMW where I was a regular poster. Right, just bought the above car. Whilst generally in very good condition the wiring's been bodged and is starting to do odd things. :mad: It's not...

Hello all! Well, it's happened again - several years after my beloved low mileage W123 200T was nicked from the streets of London I've just got myself a 94 300SL 24 in bornite. Lovely car and great colour, off an active member here too. Time to come back to the right side having been with...
