    Im back!!!

    Evening all, I've been away for a couple of years of owning a Porsche Panamera and decided it was time to go back to what I know and love. I've now got an E400 convertible (2014 3.0 twin turbo) and I absolutely love it - I was going to get the E350 CDi but couldn't resist this beast! I've got a...

    R230SL Roof Issues

    Hi all, I know it's been asked and discussed to death but I've got a problem with the vario roof on my 2003 SL500. It all started a few weeks ago when I took the boot lock out to sort out a central locking problem. I inadvertently dislodged one of the flaps inside the boot lid and the roof...

    R230 SL500 Brake Change

    Evening all, About to change my discs and pads on my R230 tomorrow and (I know it's been asked lots of times but I can't seem to find a definitive answer) wanted to check what's the best thing to do about the SBC system. Some people say just unplug it, some say follow the procedure of spinning...

    R230 Condensation Problem

    Morning all, I'm sure this has been asked/discussed lots before but I have a car full of the dreaded condensation. I've dried it all out and thought I'd cured it - turns out leaving the windows open 1/4 inch stops it, which is great until it rains!!! I've had a look at the tray on the nearside...

    R230 wind deflector

    Afternoon all, I'm looking for a wind deflector for my 03 SL500. Anyone got one for sale, as the ones on ebay seem a bit pricey - or has anyone bought one of the ones from Germany that are about £150? I'm not desperate to get one but it's on the list. Thanks guys.

    Cruise control

    Hi all, I've just picked up a 2003 SL500 and while I'm completely happy with it it seems the cruise control won't work. The stick has the yellow light on which I'm assuming means the limiter is on, and if I press it in to select cruise the light doesn't go out. Is there an easy way to fix this...

    R129 on 20's?

    Hi all, probably been asked many times but I can't seem to find any information on the subject - but can I fit a set of 20's to my 96(P) 320SL? I'm looking at a set of Calibre CC-V 20 inch wheels, they're selling them to fit the CLS (and apparently they fit SL all models 1990 on), and are 8.5...

    Sorry I have to ask this!

    Hi all, I can't find any diagnostic ports on my R129. Its a 96 320SL and I was under the impression it has an OBD-II port but I can't find one anywhere. SO I'm thinking I must be wrong and it's got the older style diagnostic port under the bonnet - but again nothing found. Am I going mad, or...

    R129 Bonnet

    Morning all, Got this R129 (96 320SL) that I'm beginning to wish I'd walked away from. But I'm not the kind of person that gives up on these things and I want to get it sorted but so far I can't even get the bonnet open. Pull the catch in the footwell and the bonnet pops, but no plastic handle...

    R129 Gearbox issues

    Hi all, Been away for a while as I didn't have a Merc any more, but a couple of weeks ago I picked up a 96 SL320 - wanted one for ages and this one seemed nice and cheap. Problem is, after only 150 miles the gearbox is playing up (to put it mildly!). Out today, pulled away from the car park and...

    C270 CDi Electrics

    Hi all, I'm new on this site but thought I'd give it a go as the other forum I've been using has come up with no answers on this one! :wallbash: I'm asking for some help before I take the final step and send my Front SAM off for a re-programme. I've posted before and listed the electrical...
