r129

....after a 1995 (pre facelift airbag) black leather and walnut steering wheel for an SL. Hen's teeth i know but worth a shot!

Hi, A long time ago I wanted to own a R129 and came here for advice, but that didnt happen (Bloody kids, take all your money !) Anyway, Im activly now looking again. Im intrested in these examples: Mercedes SL 300 SL Only 66k Miles! Total History Appreciating Classic! | eBay Going to view...

Hi Apologies for also posting in Members' Gallery, but that doesn't seem to get as many views as General I recently bought this car and wondered how many there were in the UK as I've not seen another (this is a RHD import from Singapore, brought to the UK in 1999). A few pictures here...

Hi there, I posted last year about my poorly SL - it's a 1990 with the MBSS and UK immobiliser. I've still got the non-starting issue with it. About time I got it sorted for summer! Basically- I think the immobiliser has its knickers in a twist as the engine will turn over but won't start. The...

I'm shortly going to put my SL up for sale as I no longer have a garage to keep it in. I've been looking in the normal places trying to gauge the current market but the prices are all over the place and i'm struggling to know what I should be putting it up for. Whats making it tricky is a...

Per title, black, good condition please Anyone have a spare?

Saw an interesting virtualisation of a an R129 shooting brake The above image is computer generated It has however been rumoured of a custom fabrication shop across the pond making one...

Not sure if this is right post I have an R129 which was running fine I disconected the battery and charged it while working on the roof (topping up hydraulic fluid) now the battery is fully charged all the lights come on but the car will not crank any ideas would be much appreciated Stewart

So when i got my R129 the seats where not in great shape. A few worn stitches and seams coming apart but still solid. The leather was very dry and disgustingly dirty. I had the seats re-stitched when the new rear screens where fitted by a local trimmer then spent the best part of two days...

A one-owner 1996 SL500 with just 81 miles on the clock ... 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 | Coys of Kensington

Yes I know, the youngest of the R129s will be an old car that is 15 years old now, but bear with me. I test drove what looked to be a fairly good 2001 SL320 this morning. The car had just under 100k miles but seemed to have been looked after. Anyway it felt much heavier to drive than I...

This Koenig special must be fairly unusual and rare: Mercedes-Benz 500 SL König Though the power they quote (320 hp with a compressor) can't be right Body mods are Marmite! This 7.2l Lorinser must be rare too: 2001 Mercedes SL 7.2 Lorinser | Coys of Kensington I'd like to see more...

Fanbelt R129 300sl I am going to have my fanbelt and tensioner changed on my R129 300sl have you got change the water pump too (so i've been told ).

Hi New to the forum and hit a problem with the SL320 R129 1999. Can anyone offer some advice? Looks like the CTEK charge was inadvertently switched off as the battery is now dead and the alarm was pathetically chirping. Car is in my garage with door open to stop alarm. Unfortunately...

So the connections of the roof controller for an R129 look the same as the A/W124 cabriolet... I'm referring to : 1298202426 compared to 1248204026 I've counted/compared pins and fitment of both units to be the same. Has anybody actually tried to use an R129 controller though with...

First post, so please be gentle. I've just taken ownership of a 300SL (R129) 1991 Model. Needs a few little things to get it back to it's former glory, bit of paint, bit of upholstery and unfortunately the job of sorting out the wheels. The car came with a set of AMG Monoblock style...

Hi guys I've had my 96 R129 for about 6 months and now the weather is starting to improve I'm starting to do some jobs which have been on my list of things to do since I got it... First of all, I appreciate that there are a lot of topics on this. I have done a lot of reading through past...

Looking for someone who can sort out the roof and rollbar operation of my 1999 SL, preferably in South or South West Wales. Tried a local MB specialist here in Pembrokeshire but he has been unable to resolve it. Any recommendations?
