Hi guys
After much searching... Finally bought a 5 litre R129 beast.
As expected with an old car... Some minor issues. I have read some other threads but not sure it's the exact same problem as others...
Start with the easy one first - the key isn't able to turn the lock at the moment. I'm...
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?

‘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...
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...
Does anybody have an Owners Handbook for a R129 SL....preferably facelift onwards.
Happy with just a Handbook or if you have it, the complete Document Wallet/Handooks etc
A good friend of mine is selling his SL500. It was seeing his that led me on my extensive search which ended up with me buying the SL60. 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...
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. :)
I've been having on and off recently in the hot weather misfiring that won't go away.
When its cold, say in the late evening the car runs as it should. During the day when its much warmer the car once its up to temp is misfiring and stalling like crazy.
I've put new Bosch HT leads...
Hi I've damaged my right hand rear light lens in a careless parking maneuver, the shattered bit's are long gone in the bin.
I've been trying to buy one from ebay, but struggling to see one the same, they're either the later shape with 3 ribs. The others are early but look more orange around...
I ordered a new infrared 3 button flip keyfob for my R129 from Merc brentford in July, cost £207 and was told it would be 10-14 days from Germany.
3 weeks went past, called up and was told its on back order.
Found out last week its NLA!
The chap on the parts desk suggested writing a...
Hi
Have a SL320 R129 - runs well. Noticed some red oil last summer, had it checked and nothing serious found. Seemed to resolve. Same thing when we started using it more this year but seemed to stop after using a bit. Went away for 3 weeks and some stains again. ?automatic transmission...
