I've had my 500SL-32v '92 model for a year now and have been struggling with a persistent misfire problem. Basically, the car starts and runs OK but after it has warmed up it starts to misfire under load and at idle. If you give it too much gas it baulks and feels like one bank of cylinders...

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...
