    Hi Andy Luckily for me it is the garage I bought the car from (a non MD dealer) that will be picking up any bill. I will try to find out the cost and the cause when I get through this and keep you updated. More later. Cheers Mark

    2013 E320 Cabrio - mechanism noise from rear cover

    Hi Andy Car went into MB today and they say that the noise IS a problem and they know how to fix. They can't get round to it until 11th/12th July, so have it booked in for then. I promise to update on the result as soon as it is back with me after that. I will make a video + sound recording of...

    2013 E320 Cabrio - mechanism noise from rear cover

    Hi Guys Just seen your thread and thought I would contribute (!) I've just bought a lovely 2012 E350 CDI Cab and have to say that the loud metallic thump/clump when the rear panel closes whilst CLOSING the roof seems very alarming, as though something doesn't fit properly. The noise from the...

    Central locking

    Hi Have a look at the fuse for the vacuum pump/central locking system. Should be a 20 amp I think (it is on the SL series), This fuse blows really easily when any resistance or damp is found in that system. Fixing the fuse might cure, but there may be an underlying problem with water/moisture or...

    SL350 R230 rear shock collapsed, non ABC

    Morning Garage says that this usually happens after a period of standing and that the reservoir will need checking/filling and then should be OK for a while - but - once leaked, will probably leak again leading to more serious implications - so fix it early as poss.

    Hi mat8n Unbelievable ! I've just got back from 2 weeks hols and my 2007 SL350 rear nearside has done exactly the same - less than 2cm clearance from wheel arch. Just driveable, so I guess I'm off to the men that know in the morning. Any ideas appreciated. Mark

    R230 SL Bluetooth handsfree phone ?

    Hi Lloyd I use the Mercedes Bluetooth HFP Adapter as seen in the link that Red C220 kindly offered (above). Got mine on the auction site. I have hard copy of instructions to set up, but no record of seller - sorry - but you're on the right track, just make sure you check compatibility...

    R230 SL not starting in low temps

    Hi AMadGit Hope it works ! The time by time solution for me was to try to start - If nothing, exit and lock car, unlock, get in and try again ( a "re-boot"). Often, this worked first time, but as time went by it would need "re-booting" two three or 4 times before I could get a successful start...

    R230 SL Bluetooth handsfree phone ?

    I believe the Viseo bluetooth module is what you need. It replicates a phone in the cradle whilst bluetoothing to your mobile (and back) You still use the phone thru COMAND - the guy who sells them is very knowledgeable - e-mail to be sure of correct unit It works in my 2007 R230 SL350 Good...

    R230 SL not starting in low temps

    Hi AMadGit This sounds very like a problem I had recently on my 2007 SL350, with only 43,000, which I also raised on this forum. It is very likely the Electronic Ignition Switch. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I went through new battery, new relay switch somewhere within system, new...

    R230 rear window panels

    I had both sides on mine replaced last year - not too expensive, but does make it look much better ! (Think you will probably want the other one done to match !)

    Like you, I do not/cannot garage the car and I get exactly the same in my 2007 SL350,mostly on the inside rear screen in cold, damp conditions, - like the weather recently! It's just normal physics. Warm air inside the car condensing onto the cold glass with no airflow to move it away, exactly...
