    R129 remote locking & lock problems

    Replacement bass speaker for R129 SL?

    Does anyone know if you can order a bass speaker separately for an R129 from Mercedes or do you have to buy the whole thing with the bass and mid range? If you can only buy the whole assembly then any recommendations for a bass only, rather than a two way, replacement speaker?

    '94 R129 - Immobiliser Replacement

    ‘Tis time to continue fettling the SL500. I have come to the suspicion that the occasional bizarre electrical gremlins I have been experiencing are tied up with the (intermittent) fault with the immobiliser. The car needs a visit to WG M-B anyway, so I’ll get the codes read then, but if the...

    R129 Rattling on tickover when in gear?

    Unfortunately due to currently being incapacitated I'm not in a position to crawl under it and look but my R129 SL32O has a rattle but only when it's in gear and only at tick over. As soon as you pick up the revs or put it in neutral it goes. I'm thinking it may be the exhaust or is it...

I realised just how hard it is to find a good one having scoured the country at the time and also concluded that he was lucky to have found his in such good...

    Replacement boot badges 2000 R129

    I've tried doing a search google but seem to have drawn a blank, I need to get my boot lid sprayed so I'm looking for replacement star emblem and SL320 badges. Is it main dealer only or does anyone know where else I can buy these or will the star boot lid emblem from another model fit? Thanks. :)
