129

Any views on best choice of tyre? I've currently got Dunlop SP9000s on the car. This tyre doesn't seem to be available any more, or at least not in the size I need: 245/45/17 - not sure what speed rating - would it be Z ? I need 2 fronts only so will be keeping the dunlops on the rear...

after my comments on how slow my mates sl129 v6 3.2 18v is, we have done some thinking, and it occured to us that the c32 amg uses the 'same' engine. we came up with more questions than asnwers however, so has anyone fitted the supercharger from a c class onto an sl? if so any advise wold be...

my friend has a 129 sl. it has the 3.2 v6 24v engine and it has 12 plugs!! it also had the big brakes on it so must be a special one of some sort? anyway, it starts on the button from cold, but as soon as it gets hot, it cuts out and will not start untill it cools down again, it then starts...

Hi all Wondering if anyone has a cluster for a 92 300sl-24 ? My mileometer has packed in. I can possibly get it repaired but as the clock is playing up too it may be easier to replace the cluster (which will be done photographically for the mileage reading)

HI all Got a bit of a problem. I put my Carlssons in for refurb, he's stacked out with work and could be 3-4 weeks, I dont want to take them back as I will lose my place in his diary, he's that busy. Didnt plan things too well as I need to do other jobs on that and the various other cars...

Hi all Due to some wiring butchery I have discovered behind the radio in my sl (and hopefully the cause of the battery flattening) I need to get the centre console wood off. I need to have a look in there to see whats going on. The back edge adjacent to the cassette holder does lift up, i've...

Hi guys Got an 129 SL and the roof does not work. When you press the switch either way it just flashes red, the windows do not lower and the roof does not release. Also the roll over bar does not work which ever way you press it, the bar is down so dont think it has deployed. I have...

SL600 on PH If I wasn't already SL'd up I'd be very interested in this.........I would imagine there were very very very few SL600s registered in 2000. Nick

Hello everyone, ( sorry if you already saw this post on the "engine" forum - I clicked the wrong box !) Anyway, the ride on my 1999 SL 320 V6 with pneumatic adjustbale ride height is MUCH too hard, and certainly much harder than the 129 500 SL I owned previously. Detail - the spheres were...

Hello everyone I have a 1999 SL 320 V6 with pneumatic suspension and adjustable ride height. The spheres were changed last year by the previous owner, and I find the ride MUCH too hard, and certainly twice as hard as the 129 500 SL I owned previously. Does anyone know whether the suspension...

The car is an SL 320 1994 I've noticed in the past few days that on start up there is, what sounds like, a relay chattering somewhere behind the passenger side facia/footwell. It stops when the engine revs get above around 1K. Sometimes it returns when the engine is on tickover, sometimes...

Having owned my 1994 SL600 for nearly a year now and not having seen another one on the road I'm curious as to how many were actually made in RHD form in particular and in total generally. (I have seen one or two come up for sale but not very often) Does anyone know where I can find out the...
