Many thanks in advance :thumb:

Morning All,
Took possession of a 1985 R107 SL280 in need of medium restoration. My first project!
The car was sold as a non runner with a possible faulty fuel pump being the possible reason however i have run a direct line to the fuel pump terminals and can hear it running.
As the car...
Just joined today so though I'd introduce myself. I have a 1986 R107 420 in Smoke Silver with Burgundy interior, 92000 miles. I'm new to the model as well but am now in love, as is my wife :thumb: Picked her up only 6 weeks ago and (bravely) drove 2500 miles around France. Apart from a cracked...
Hi everyone,
I've been looking at the forum for quite some time, so thought I'd post an introduction at last.
I have '78 450SL, which I bought just over a year ago, and it's been quite a 'journey' (to use cheesy reality TV parlance!) as with all 'classic' cars (I've owned a few)there's been...
You have an absolutely stunning car.
If you don't mind can I please recommend that you get rid of that cable tie in the engine bay on the shroud and replace it with the correct clip part number A1245001831. Its the only pimple on that otherwise time warp car.
Thanks
Jay
Not sure I`d put that on a 107 but it should be fun on a cheap SLC Mercedes w107 r107 SL Koenig Specials Breitbausatz NEU Spoiler Breitbau | eBay
The same seller also has widebody panels for 126
Hi
Am having a full restoration carried out on a 1989 300SL R107. It originally had genuine mudflaps fitted.
In order to re-fit them, the new front wings will need to be drilled for the screws. I am inclined to leave them off to prevent the new wings rusting again from the drill holes...
Hi all, hopefully someone might be able to help with the following problems I'm having with my 1986 300SL:
1. Driving at speeds above 40 miles per hour the car starts to resist further acceleration - it almost feels like the brakes are pulsing on and off, and the car feels quite heavy...
Hello people.
Can anyone tell me, is this as simple as it looks? Car is a 1987 E reg, 300SL.
Been getting a strange rattle / rattles sound from the front when i ride the bumps, mechanic reckons its the front anti roll bar drop links.
He reckons its an easy DIY fix at home with a 13mm...
Hi
On my 1985 R107 280SL i've identified a broken relay, part number 001 545 43 05.
can anyone tell me if part number 001 545 73 05 would be compatible. There appears to be lots of differences to the '43' number. Does anyone know what the differences are and whether or not its still...
It appears that heat from the engine is entering the cabin of my 1986 R107 SL. After driving for an hour or so the cabin starts becoming oppressively hot, and after around two hours of driving the dashboard becomes almost too hot to touch. This is with all heater controls turned off, and very...
Hi,
After a good used SL 500 speedo from a post 86 car - part number on the dial A1075428501 or part number on the rear A0115422706.
I'll take one with broken gears, or fully working.
Hi All,
I'm looking to get a replacement Speedo for my R107. It's proving a little elusive, so I'm hoping owners will help.
Basically, I'm trying to find what part number speedo will fit my car, so I thought a nice little collection of part numbers might help others out too:-
If you...
Before I take the dash apart, has anyone come across this problem before - basically, the mileometer and odomoter have just stopped turning. The speedo itself is working perfectly.
Any ideas? Rebuild, replace?
Hi here is perhaps a stupid question, but is there a difference between the M110 2.7 engine from the R107 280SL for a manual gearbox and an automatic gearbox or could i replace my engine(auto box) with an engine that has been mated to a manual. Apologies in advance.
