    Clicking sound when ignition turned on

    Hi there, I've got a clicking sounds coming from the rear right hand side of the car when I turn on the ignition. Lasts for about ten seconds. Garage says it's likely to be the power supply control unit, which determines which battery to charge. Problem is - it's 557 plus VAT to replace...

    Clicking sound from off-side rear for 10s when ignition on

    Hi All, I've got quite a loud clicking sound coming from the off-side rear of a 2002 R230 SL55 when I start the car. Only lasts about 10 seconds. I've been told it's probably a Power Control Unit, which will be 557 plus VAT to replace (!). Any ideas before biting the bullet?

    Wanted - R230 Power Supply Control Unit

    London but travelling to Bedford. Either Bedford or Milton Keynes would be convenient for fitting, happy to order the tyres online as well.

    I should probably add that the previous owner stuck Falkens on, which seem ok if not great.

    2004 SL55 AMG Tyre options - Please HELP!

    Cheers for that. The MO spec seems to be a fair bit more expensive than the standard P Zeros. Is it really that much better than the standard P Zero? Do the other brands have a Mercedes spec or do I just find the right size and assume it'll be fine (at that size the model will be "performance...

    2004 SL55 AMG Tyre options - Please HELP!

    I've got a 2002 SL55 and am looking for a complete set of tyres. Not got the manual in front of me but think I'm looking for 255/40 ZR18 and 285/35 ZR18. Are there any recommendations for tyres? Am assuming Pirellis are most welcomed but have a shorter life than Michelins?

    Best Indy up to 100 miles north of London?

    Best Indy up to 100 miles north of London?

    Hi All, I've just bought a 2002 SL55 that needs a B service. There are a bunch of items that need replacing due to time and I've been quoted £1610 from a MB dealer. I think I'd prefer to get the work done by a specialist (although the car has FMBSH so far) to be sure that it gets done well...
