Hi Guy's, Just been to view a SL320 (R129) in Brilliant Silver, but the paintwork looks a bit dull. I'm new to all this, but is their a way to restore its shine? Would a simple t-cut bring it back, or as it's metallic do I need to look at other options. Any help/advise would be much...

My poor old R129 has been a bit left out recently, what with my recent purchase of a CLS500 and then further purchase of a Porsche 997. Having served me well over the summer (where it was lavished with a full engine and gearbox service, along with new front latch hydraulic seals), it hasn't been...

My car is a 1995 SL500 with ASR. After driving for about 10 miles the ABS light comes on and stays on. A few minutes prior to it coming on I felt a single slight kick from the pedal while braking gently. Using a home-made blink code reader has given me fault code no. 8 i.e. solenoid valve...
