    R230 SL350 Air Con condenser replacement?

    Hi It’s a good few years since I’ve been on here, for various reasons. The air-conditioning condenser on my R230 SL 350 has a proven leak and needs to be replace. I’m struggling to find a guide on how to this anywhere online. Is that because it‘s a very difficult task or requires special tools...

    R230 battery charging advice please

    I have a 2008 SL350 that I have left unused in France for more than the past 2 months. I'm shortly due to go over to bring it back to the U.K. I'm anticipating that the batteries will have run down and that it won't start when I get there. I think jump starting is not a good idea, right? That...

    Tyre and Wheel Gurus...Help needed on R230 SL350 Choice

    So just like another member being driven crazy by choice in another thread, I have a similar but slightly different dilemna/question. My SL350 is currently fitted with 255 40 18 on 8.5J rims at the front. On the rear it has 285 35 18 on 9.5J rims. I need to replace all four tyres. The MB...

    R230 Boot space ?

    A basic question from someone new to this model... Is it permissible, when packing the boot, to safely utilise the two spaces either side of the boot separator (i.e the two spaces in this photos with the slightly stripey carpet) without interfering with the roof mechanism as the handbook...

    R230 SL350 Droning/humming noise?

    So, I've recently purchased a low mileage (30K miles) 2008 R230 SL350. I've only driven it about 300 miles myself so far on two long day out trips so I'm still very getting used to it. Everything seems really nice and drives really well. Except on today's trip of 175 miles on mostly A-roads and...

    R230: What these two things?

    In the bootlid both sides...what are these two panels? Almost look like some kind of piece to use to seal off the corners when the roof is down...like mini tonneaus?

    My first real drive in my new R230 SL350 today!

    I just had my first real 'pleasure' drive in the SL350 today. We went from Lincolnshire to Chesterfield and then Buxton. I really like it! :) A real feel of quality to it and a big leap up in driveability and refinement over the previous SL models that I've had. I need to become a bit more...

    R230 How to replace indicator lens in door mirror?

    As per the title, I need to replace the plastic lens in the N/S door mirror on my car as it is cracked. I've watched various videos on YouTube but none of them seem to relate exactly to the type of mirrors on the R230. I don't want to break anything just by doing things by trial and error...

    R230 SL Headlamp direction if driving on the Continent?

    I've just bought an R230 SL350 and my wife and I have just booked to go on a driving holiday into Northern Spain and Southern France in May/June. My question is: Is it possible to switch the headlamp directions over for Continental easily oneself? I've only had to do it in E39 BMWs before and...

    Continuing ASD Frustration! 300CE C124

    Having always had an empty ASD reservoir on my 124 300CE ever since I got the car I decided, in my wisdom, that as the last job in a very long renovation I would fill the reservoir and see what happens. Firstly and predictably there's a leak! It's from one of the rigid pipes that goes into...

    300CE ASD Question

    My 300CE has ASD. However, the reservoir is empty...and always has been since I bought the car! I understand that this system is completely independent of the fluid inside the diff itself (which we've changed) and uses ZH-M fluid. Is it just a question of buying the fluid and pouring it...

    C124 300 Sportline 'Equivalent' springs and shocks?

    As I'm probably now going to keep my 300CE I'm considering changing the suspension set-up. It's currently on (new) standard springs and shocks. I've only driven it twice since completing the restoration. However, after a bit of a drive yesterday on winding country roads, I'm not sure I like...

    Yet another 124 wheel/tyre question!

    Sorry for this! I just want to double check this: I have a set of these refurbished wheels in the pic below. They are 15" 7J ET44. I want to put the winter tyres that I have on them (195 65 15) and use them on my 124 E320 Estate. I just want to check that this is ok before going ahead...

    C124 300CE water pump variants

    I need to buy a new water pump for my C124 300CE ( Chassis number: WDB1240502B290228 ). However, mine seems slightly different to the ones I'm seeing online and also to a spare that I have from a W201 2.6 engine. The one on my 300CE appears to only differ in that the opening/port you see just...

    124 Coupe side window adjustment?

    Just installed a new front side window and getting terrible wind noise above certain speeds. The other does it too! I've searched but can't find any specific instructions on how to make fine adjustments to the window alignments. I saw somewhere someone mentioning taking off the lower plastic...

    C124 side glass replacement?

    I'm going to be attempting to replace the passenger door side glass on my 300CE this weekend as the current one fitted is badly scratched (a long story which I'll tell one day!). I've done a bit of searching but haven't found much in the way of info or walk-throughs. I've never done a form...

    Poor/low idle M102 when re-starting after hot?

    On my C124 with the 2.3L M102 it's had an annoying tendency after a decent length run (so that the engine's warm) and then switched off to idle too low/stall when switched back on again. This quickly resolves once you've got it up and running again. It's done it for a long time and so isn't...
