Hi all, Thought I'd introduce myself, my name is Christian and I'm based in Suffolk, East Anglia. This isn't my first Merc, I have had a 1994 500SL before but I recently was able to sell it and buy a long time favourite of mine a R107. It's a 1978, 450 SL. It needs a few minor things...

I'm looking for a plastic Seat Recline knob (unsure of the technical term) for my 500 SL, R107. Car is RHD and it's for the passenger seat (although I doubt that will make any difference). Looked on eBay and no joy. Any ideas?

Dropped my car off to Terry at Wayne Gates (WG M-B) this morning for a major service. Can't wait to pick up and drive around, after everything is done.

I need to connect my ignition control box and the test port to my 280sl 1977. It comes with an M110 from a W116 car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I need two new key heads for existing keys. I bought two from Ebay but they are too small - the part numbers of the heads I bought - A0007664406. I have since been informed this part number does not relate to my chassis number. Has anyone replaced their key heads on an r107? and if...

Help! Looking for a full exhaust system for my car. Been quoted some very high costs, and wondered if anyone knows a more competitive source? Live in NW London, although I suspect a supplier can deliver.

Help! Am looking for either: -spare rim for my car (even non-alloy); or, -alternative option like a space saver? I currently have 205/60/15, but I don't have a spare wheel. Another question, is this the only tyre size which can fit on my existing alloys? I have asked various places who...

Recently purchased an SL500 R107, after much deliberation! Need some advice please... I knew that the front floor pans (inside and under body) need attention; but would like the best advice on getting this sorted! Am NW London based and looking for a good (reasonable) welder! Any...

Hi guys, I am having trouble starting my 1982 280 sl. I haven't started the car for a couple of months. Tried to start last weekend but the battery was flat so put it on charge, but it wouldn't charge, so I bought a new and replaced it. But the car would still not start, the engine is turning...

I'm hoping some members can help me out. I've been on this site for several years, just lurking. I am a long term W124 500E owner, but I just bought a 1987 560SL at auction as well. It arrives tomorrow. It will need some paint and minor front end repairs. I would like to take the opportunity...

HI All, Quick question. I started my car for the first time today in around 6 weeks. Started first time, no issues. Washed it, dried it, left it for a couple of hours and then went to put it in the garage and it wouldn't start. I noticed that I couldn't hear the brief buzzing from the...

Hi everyone, Apologies if this is already covered off on here. I'm looking to purchase a rhd R107 SL (alas the pagoda is out of my reach) and have about £15k to spend. I like the idea of owning an early example but have read that the later cars (86 +) are better. I am used to driving a 73...
