The Crank Pulley on my SL500 seems to be a bit bent and knocked about. This is evident when the engine is running and the belts are noticeably wobbling. I suspect that the people who replaced the water pump have given it a hard time ! The water pump has already been replaced and the engine...

Hi all, Anyone know where I can either get a bit of this fabric - 051 - black (sometimes called anthracite)? It was produced from 1970 into the 90s, and put on more or less every car in the range (a bit utilitarian for the 600 and 450sel, though!). I'm even happy with any part of a...

Hi All, Anyone know of any way of getting a bit of 051 black (also called anthracite)? Does anyone manufacture bespoke bits? It was used across all ranges from 1970 to the early 90s I believe. I've spent ages looking for an interior - I need any old part of it (door cards, seats...) - just...

Hi all. I have a 1985' 500SL, in the UK. I had noticed that the temp gauge sat over the 80 mark (87 - 90?) in normal driving, periodically, going as far as 100 up a hill, or in traffic, but settling back down. Up and down as load dictated. Thought - mmmm, is there a problem? So, just had her sat...
