Hi All. SL500 R230 (2002) Front upper wishbone ball joints have expired, this is the 2nd time in a fairly short time due to replacing the originals on 90k miles with a 2nd hand pair of unknown age. My reason for choosing used parts is down to the manufacturing method of the arm & subsequent cost...

Cheers for the advise & the offer, Coventry's a bit far for me (Shropshire)

Hi Guys. I know this has been covered many times but each thread I have read has slightly different symptoms, so here is what I am seeing. 2002, SL500 (R230) 104000Miles. car used mainly for daily short trips (waste of a great car really) 1st symptom was "electric consumers are offline" alert...

Hi All. Just testing the water really, I'm still not convinced about selling the SL but fancy a change. I'm looking for £8500 for her. Here are the details... Current owner since 14/01/2012 Mercedes SL500 (R230) 1st registered 15/08/2002 M113 V8, 5 Litre, Petrol, 300BHP 5...

I bought 4 Mtec discs when I had my 2003 CLK500, fitted them myself & they were better than the standard discs, I would/will happily buy from them again.

Hi All. Wonder if anyone can help me on this one. My SL500 (on 90k miles) has started to feel a bit vague & wobbly, it's not terrible but just doesn't feel like it should. I can't really tell which end is causing the problem but it feels like the back nearside (UK) I'm hoping it's not a boingy...

Post cost only. These are just stiiting about so if anyone wants them it'll only cost the post or the fuel to come & get them from Shrewsbury. Cheers. Goody

Hi Bellow. I'll have one of those Pussy riots your giving away !:bannana:

Its not a foot to pedal problem, it's pedal to engine that can't keep up !!

I have a R230 SL500, the engine & drive is lovely but I do think it could have a bit better throttle response. The Sprintbooster product has been suggested as fitting the bill but I have had a negative review. Any thoughts ? good or bad. Cheers. Goody.

Cheers guys, this def rings a bell. I've done a quick search, but would be interested in current thoughts on this product after Dieselmans comment. New thread started to target this product. Cheers Goody

Hi. Yep that could be it, any idea of the product name / type. Cheers. Goody

Hi All. This is a bit of an odd one but hopefully someone may be able to point me in the right direction. When I sold my CLK500 the guy that bought it said that the first thing he would do was have a device installed that improved auto gearbox response, presumably on kick-down, even though the...

Yep brand spanking new... I'll try tommoz & let you know how it goes. Cheers, Phil.

Hi Guys, Richard, you were bang on, it now shows my address book. one thing that seemed to confuse it were the int dialling code before some numbers, dump the +44 & replace with UK style code & all seems OK. But..... When I make calls through the comand it all works OK until I hang up, the...

Hi All. Phase 1 seems to be ok, although it didn't ask me for a pairing code. I can make & recxeive calls but can not see my iPhone contacts on the comand unit. Any more tips ?? Phil.

Cheers guys, will give it a go... Phil.

Hi All I bought a Viseoo MBU1000 early this year & it worked fine with my Nokia E71, (once I'd read the instructions instead of thinking I could sort it in a blokey way) I have changed phones to an iPhone 4s, can I / how do I set up the viseoo to suit the new phone or do I need a new product ( I...

Hi all. As the thread title, what are the best tyres for the 2002 SL500 (R230) ? I currently have Conti's front 255/40/18 & rear 285/35/18. My experience of Conti's are that they wear quick on the fronts around the outer edge. This is based on my previous C classes that scrubbed horribly...

This will be no real help, but I had a drivers door module go doolally on a C270CDi & it messed with loads of seemingly unrelated electrics, even the engine management would have a hiccup every now & then until I replaced the module.
