    Xenon Headlamp Removal R129

    Hi Are there any threads or advice on how to remove the front headlamp from the r129. YouTube has nothing relevant and I've disassembled the unit all apart from one cable that looks to be from inside the lamp to something on the car frame. My guess would be the ballast. Unsure where to go...

    '94 R129 Wiper/SRS problem

    The car is a 1994 SL500. Just setting off today, after about half a mile the wiper stopped mid-wipe and the SRS light came on dimly. Stopped, switched off, switched on; the wiper parked itself, and now won't move. Trying to turn the wiper on or pressing the sreen washer brings the SRS light...

    R129 - Reasonable replacement stereo head unit?

    I know there have been lots of threads in the past regarding stereos for the R129 SL but most are a few years old. When I bought my R129 in July it was fitted with the cheapest, crappiest head unit you could think of, called a Sendai? I can't afford to spend a fortune as the car needs a new...

    R129 SL beeping noise when in reverse

    I'm assuming as I can't see anything physically on the outside of the car that this noise is not rear parking sensors but an annoying warning that you've engaged reverse? If so how do I disable it as it's bloody annoying, I know I've selected reverse because I had to move the gear lever to do...

    R129 SL320 replacement catalytic converters?

    I'm told the rattling sound coming from underneath my 2000 R129 SL320 is the catalytic converters breaking up. Other than the OEM ones which are very expensive has anyone had after market cats fitted and if so would you recommend them or not? :confused: Any advice greatly appreciated.

    R129 SL280 - is it really slow?

    Looking to add another one to the fleet for my brother. I have an SL500 which likes a drink but I'd be grateful if anyone can give experiences of the 280. Is it smooth? And is it very underpowered or not too bad? He's quite keen on a 1999 SL280 he has seen.

    Another R129 wanted!

    So it took me awhile to find my perfect one. My brother had a drive in mine and now he is after an R129 too. He's not as fussy as me so can be any engine or age, but everything should work and bodywork should be good. He has up to £9k to spend and a Pan roof would be nice, other than that he...
