    Hard Top Hole Covers?

    Maybe this is a silly question but the guy who I sold my SL to has just asked if there should be any clip-in covers for the rear holes where the hard top 'straps' go. I must confess that the thought had never crossed my mind that they may have caps for when the hard top is not in use. Any...

    500 SL (R129) Stainless Steel Rear Exhaust Box.

    Hand made rear exhaust box (straight through) that I had made to fit my 1991, 500 SL (R129). Gives a nice burble at low speed but sensible noise levels throughout the rev range. No modifications needed to existing mounts but may need to fabricate a small heat shield to protect the rear...

    The A/C compressor on my E200 is currently emitting a death rattle when A/C clutch is engaged. Can anyone help with a second hand replacement please? Thanks in advance.

    Any idea what this is?

    This component is on the LH bank (n/s) of my 1991 500SL (R129). It seems to have an electrical connection and a thin vacuum pipe going to the underside. As you can see, it sits above the injectors on that side. The black 'knob' or blank rotates but doesn't appear to do anything. There is a...

    R129 Transmission Oil

    Does anyone know how much oil the autobox (inc.torque convertor) holds on a 500SL? Mine is a 1991 car with the 4 speed box. I think these used Dextron II from new but my local Merc specialist has suggested Dextron III. He uses Castrol but I was considering using "Fuchs" oil as it seems to...

    R129 Stainless Exhausts

    Has anyone had any experience of fitting stainless exhaust parts to their R129 SL? Saw this on ebay and thought it may be a bit more "straight through" than the standard massive rear box. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150232065877&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005

    R129 SL Steering Geometry.

    Can anyone confirm that the steering geometry tolerances for a 500 SL (1991) are same whether the car has ADS or not? Perhaps someone could look at the relevant WIS section for me?? Thanks in advance. PS Is there any truth in the rumour that, even when set up perfectly, RHD SL's pull to...

    R129 Interior trim removal help.

    Anyone know how to remove the carpeted trim below the passenger side air bag (1991 SL)? There are a couple of screws along the lower edge but I can't see what holds the top bit. Maybe the airbag has to come out first? Thanks in advance.

    R129 Hard Top Cover

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a decent hard top cover to use with the stand. Would be nice to keep it protected when I take it off and store it in a dark corner of my shed!

    R129 - Wind Deflector.

    I have a wind deflector which came with my car and was stored in a nice hard plastic box. So far, so good. The problem is that this box doesn't seem to fit against the firewall in the boot. I notice there are some elasticated strap thingies hanging from the carpet but these don't seem to...

    500 SL Alarm............or not?

    My 500 SL (1991) allegedly has option code 551 which should mean it has an alarm (described in the code list as "anti-theft warning system"). Now I don't want to sound daft but I can find any evidence that an alarm is fitted. I've tried locking the car with a window open, leaning in and...

    (1991) 500 SL - Stalling.

    If I drive away from cold, very ocaasionally my SL stalls when coming to a stop, say at a junction or roundabout (withing 1st half mile of starting off). It seems to happen when I have applied plenty of electrical loading (i.e. lights, air con, heater etc). The idle seems smooth at about...

    R129 SL - ADS switch not illuminating.

    Has anyone removed any of the console switches on their R129 SL? The night-time illumination of my ADS switch doesn't appear to work so I assume there is a small bulb unit in the switch itself? Does the wooden trim have to be removed? (and if so, how is it secured?). Looks expensive so I...
