Evening guys Right, it's nearly time to pull the 500sl out of winter storage. After a big service and a thorough detail gonna treat my ears to some new speakers for it in the front doors. Also I may get a new stereo since its got a modern one already (spoils classic ela looks, but it's handy)...

Hello All, My original factory alarm is going off randomly, mainly in the small hours of the morning which is not ideal. It can be locked on infra red with the single button fob or manually with the key. Either way arms the alarm so the only way to stop the alarm going off is to leave it...

The brake pad lamp has come on and comes on when I brake. So knowing I need new pads not sure if it's front and or rear yet or even if discs need replacing until I get it checked at ATS. I have used EBC pads before on my 350z and found then very good but the benz is old and a different beast...
