Ever since I bought my R129 almost a month ago the central locking works but the light in the door handle doesn't flash green or red as it should. I'm assuming this is something to do with the alarm which I'm presuming does not work.
My question is will alarm faults show up on the Star...
Just had new track control arms and finally looking forward to blasting round the country in my 92 SL having planned a few road trips then the car developed a new fault !
When stored in my garage, with doors unlocked so not to activate the alarm, I previously had six weeks before I had to...
I need for a friend top right hand roof locking mechanism for an R129. ( right hand as we are sitting in the drivers seat )
Or does anyone know where we can get it fixed, the hydraulic fluid is leaking out of it.
...well today saw me complete the following jobs at my local Indy;
#diff oil change
#new steering damper, old one was shot,floppy as wet string!
#new front roll bar bushes x 4; old ones were hard and well worn.
All parts were very reasonably priced at my local MB dealer...

The seller hasn't posted many photo's of this but he has more as he emailed me several. I was going to byu this before I found out there was a change in the hood from 96 on and this is a pre 96 roof. Ask him for more photo's, if you're in the market for a new soft top in blue this is definitely...
Hello. I raised the car on a scissor lift (all wheels hanging free) but forgot to press the Lock button on the hydraulic ADS before doing so.
Just wondering if I am going to cause problems with the ride height sensors etc by forgetting to Lock the suspension in place first? Any procedure I need...

Hello guys, just trying to solve a issue I had when I bought my R129, basically the previous owner had issues with the alarm system ( Clifford ) that was installed so he had the company out and they disconnected it, he said they took wires off, he said the alarm kept going off , he also had some...
Hello
New to the forums, and this is my first post.
I have had a 1994/5 SL320 104 engine,with the 722.5 transmission. I have had her for around 10 months now, and now it just started to do this.
The can has ran fine for 10 months, but recently it started to misfire, which has been identified...
As above really, having bought my car on Wednesday knowing the rear windows were cracked and the trailing edge frayed I need to do something about my soft top.
Unless someone suggests otherwise I'm assuming replacing just the rear section is a non starter as it's likely the front section has...

Anyone had issues with this. The rear cluster interior panels that gives access to the bulbs are constantly swinging open. Have tried gaffer tape but it looks naff and leaves a mark. Have tried strong Velcro but when its warm the sticky bit softens and comes loose. :wallbash:
Am loathe to...
...whilst removing the ctec charger last night I noticed the black pipe that I assume takes water away from the roof? Anyway, the pipe rests on the drain hole
rather than fully inserting in the hole?
How should it sit? Thank you.
