Hi, can anyone suggest some good fitting rubber mats for the driver and passenger foot well? or if not rubber something else that would look quality and yet be practical. My 500SL has blue leather seats and blue carpet and interior throughout. cheers everyone. Lewy

Hi, I'm looking at buying an SL420(R107). When I turned the ignition on I noticed that the ABS light did not come on at all. I believe it should come on to to indicate that it is functioning properly and then go off once the engine is started. I would have expected that the ABS light stay on...

Hi all, I wonder if you can help, part of the bulkhead on my 1985 R107 has rusted to the point where the window wiper linkage has detached from the body, randomly and thankfully the rust is only in this area. So question is, does anyone know of a good Mercedes 107 breakers yard? I'm looking...

Good afternoon I am trying to install an APS 30 on my 1989 300 SL (R107), but I need a speed pulse. Where can I get it? The car has standard ABS, and I also have cruise control. Many thanks in advance!

I have a 1972 Mercedes sl350 r107 which runs well and ticks over nicely but has a strong petrol smell, particularly when first running. Just wondered if you guys could point me in the right direction. A couple of guys said could be injectors need replacing but runs really well so a bit stumped...

Hello. Mercedes dealers want £400 for 2 front shock absorbers including top mounts. The listing below is on Ebay for 2 for £200. Though no top mounts are evident. That aside, would you think its a no brainer for the cheaper Bilstein shocks? Thanks.. Bilstein B4 Front Shock Absorber...

hi. I'm new to the site and have just purchased an 83 SL500. It turns out it has the common problem for these cars and the bulkhead is shot. I have stripped out and cleaned but now am having a real bear of a time sourcing the replacement panels. I understand Mercedes don't make the...

I have an 1989 SL and when on the move there is a repetitive "squeak squeak squeak" sound or it could be described like a bird tweeting "tweet tweet tweet"when I turn the steering to the right. It seems to go faster as the car does It goes away when I move it back to straight ahead or turn left...

I'm after a complete interior for an R107. It doesn't have to match exactly what's in the car at the moment so I'll consider anything that's tan/beige and in good condition. I'd prefer not to swap out the dash if I can avoid it, but will need the woodwork around the gear shifter / hazard button...

Hi does anyone out there know where I gould get my hands on driveshafts for my sl 350 r107 1978. I got two from sl shop but they seemed to be machined incorrect and I sent them back . The groove for the retaining clip was off by 2mm so clip would not clip in. ANY IDEAS!!!

I had a look at an SL, 1983, recently and when I looked at the passenger side foot well behind a panel I found a box about 5" X 5" X 1.5" with a cable running into it connected with a large plug. Is this the cars ECU?

Hi, Trying to sort last electrical issue on my 1973 sl350. The indicators have stopped completely, have changed fuses and thought it maybe a relay but on the photos I was sent by forum members none appear to control the indicators. Just wondered if anyone had any pointers to anything else it...

Hi I have a Mercedes 350sl r107 and it has been running beautifully. I changed the bulb on the gearbox and managed to short something while cleaning the bulb holder with a small screwdriver, stupid I know I don't know if this is coincidence but since I can't get the car to start, it turns over...
