Can anyone tell me what bulbs I need for the indicator warning lamp in the instrument cluster? I want to buy these today and pull the cluster when I get home and replace one that is not working. All I need is the bulb type and wattage, not the part number as I can get the bulbs at the...

Well, I'm not set on doing this yet however, I am seriously considering it... At the moment I have a 2003 Mercedes CLK240 w/63k on the clock. Just had it in the bodyshop to get the rear arches tidied up and back bumper resprayed. Overall it is in very good condition - well, right now it needs...

Hi all, the serpentine belt on my 89 SL300 shreaded the other day on the M20 leaving me stranded! Can anyone recommend a good supplier where I can get one? If there's anyone who can clarify the part number as I really dont want ot order the wrong one! ps the car has aircon. Second question, re...

Almost twice around the clock, no doubt will need work.... but facelift, tax tested and used daily, could be one to actually use and not get too precious about.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/86D-MERCEDES-300-SL-AUTO-taxed-and-tested-/181098723072?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a2a533700

Can anyone give me some advice about buying a R107. I'd love one, but don't really know anything about them other than having a relative who had one in his garage that was a rust-eaten pile, albeit a gorgeous one. What price am I looking for paying a 'good' one, I dont want a project or really...

Hi all, I thought I'd get in touch in the hope that you might be able to help me with sourcing an R107 convertible for filming. We produce a car breaking show for the National Geographic Channel where two teams buy a vehicle that is beyond repair / declared non road legal, strip it for...

Dont know if it will make financial sense to all, as these can cost big money to put right, but its a facelift, a 500, with only 3 previous owners.... For someone with the skills and means (donor early car, cheap SLC perhaps?) this could be a worthwhile project..... Dont find many facelifted...

Hello, My R107 has recently developed a strange electrical fault, when I turn the sidelights on the N/S headlamp washer jet is permanantly stuck on.....which made for a frothy drive home the other night!! Any advice/easy remedy appreciated? Stuck relay perhaps? Where are they located? Thanks

Hello, I'm looking to buy a hazard light switch for a 1978 350SL R107. Mercedes tell me this is not a part available in the UK any more. Given this unit controls the indicators, this is quite annoying! Anyone got one they can send my way? I will need it by Thursday, Friday morning at the...

Hi all, new on here. I own a 1988-89 300 sl and had a bit of a water leak in the car, on further inspection i found that water was comming in from around the heater blower which came away from the car in my hands and left a nice big rusty mess! i have proceeded to remove the dash to gain access...

Hello all, My 1984 500SL has about 2 inches of play in the throttle pedal. Does anybody know if this is an easy adjustment/fix? Thanks:)

Hello, Does anybody know where the first aid kit in a 1984 R107 SL500 should be kept? It sits in a plastic holder but is just loose in the boot, it looks as though it ought to fit somewhere but not sure where? Thanks

Hi, this is a strange one for you guys! I recently bought some second hand windows for my SL as the old ones were chipped and scratched. The guy I bought them from was sure they were off an SL and he though that the scrached and chipped "originals" may have come from an SLC (hence were causing...

Father in law has a 280SL which I'm told is operating at normal temperature however he's getting no heat in the cabin. Is there any place to look for a typical problem?

I thought I'd share some of the work I've done so far on the SL. I bought the car as a daily driver. I was bored of modern cars that I couldn't tinker with, so wanted something that while strucutrally sound, could be improved. So it started....... Jet wash of the engine bay using Bilt...

Hi all - does anyone know how to remove/reinstall the air vents from the dashboard of an R107? I want to give the the chrome rings around the vents a good clean and polish, and would like to remove them if possible for a thorough job.

I'm replacing my very worn rear pads on my SL tomorrow. Discs have plenty of life, so only pads required. Anything special, or is it just a case of pins out, wind back and off you go?

Evening All, I am looking for someone to carry out some welding on my R107 1985 280SL. The bulkhead has rotted away at either side. I can add photos if necessary. Need some quotes please. Car runs but i have removed the dash and its sorn, i am in chelmsford essex. Col

I'm after the part number of the indicator stalk for my '85 R107 SL (UK) Or indeed the part itself :)

It would appear the nearside rear wheel had decided to make a bid for freedom, leaving it to continue for a good few yards on the brake disc (and quite possibly the lower body :doh:) Not a pretty sight.
