Am new to the site but have just bought the above. Have read that there was a problem with leaking on the metal roof but was assured by the dealer that this would not be a problem on this car and you would "smell " the damp if it was happening, and yes I know that you should never believe what...
Where is the best place to buy all the rubber suspension bushes including subframe for my 1972 350SL?
What are people's experience of aftermarket bushes like Febi Bilstein or would you always buy genuine Mercedes?
Thanks

Hello again, more brain picking I'm afraid.
Never owned one before but now my partner and I have a 1979 350SL undergoing slow restoration, not for profit, but just because my Uncle and her Dad had 350SL's when they were new, and we've both lusted after one ever since.
Work done so far includes...

Hi All,
I have a Merc 350 SL 2004. When the light on the A/C switch is on does this mean that the A/C is on or off?
Also are the plastic strips on either side of the rear window removable?

Our 1977 350SL needs a brake caliper overhaul through lack of use by the look of it.
Can someone please recommend a trustworthy parts supplier who will supply the correct OE quality caliper rebuild kits or new calipers.

Dear members,
I am replacing a 320 I've had for 13 years with a 350sl around 4-5 yrs old. I would really appreciate any advice members could give me, ie I have heard its a good idea to avoid ABC suspension as it costs around 2k a corner to replace, also I have seen that there might be a problem...

Hi,
I have just bought a 350SL. for some reason the CD auto-changer is not working. Is there any reason it may have been disconnected? The multi CD symbol is not shown on the Command screen either.
Best regards,
Chris.
I have spent the last 2 months trying in vain so far to successfully replace the CV boots on my 77 350SL driveshafts. There is a special MB crimping tool required to do this and all enquiries to try and source one have drawn a blank as the main dealers seem to have long ago scrapped them - so my...

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a hazard light switch for a 1978 350SL R107. Mercedes tell me this is not a part available in the UK any more. Given this unit controls the indicators, this is quite annoying!
