Hi. How do you change the bulb behind the headlight switch to the right of the steering wheel?

I have a R170 SLK and after having a tidy up in the boot this weekend I came across a cut down plastic bag with the central locking pump? And a mangled cover in it. The pump unit looks fine but the silver grey coloured surround is goosed. Does anyone have one for sale or can you get just the...

Hi all, I'm trying to design a mod that will drop the window a couple of mm when the door is open the close it again when its shut! the end stops that are glued to the window behind the door card keep falling off which allows the window to raise slightly too high and fouls the door seal when...

Can someone please tell me the location of the dipped headlamp relays on a 99 SLK. I have 1 headlight out, bulb is ok , fuse in headlight switch is ok. Cleaned the plug next to headlight. No power in wiring harness, suspect relay. Thanks.

On my 1993 300CE the windows close automatically when the alarm is set by the key fob remote. On my 1999 R170 SLK 230 this does not happen, should it. The way the windows closes on the inside of the seal I would think that when you open the door, the window should drop a half inch and when the...

After cleaning the glass on my mirrors today I went to adjust the passenger side mirror and found that I can only move it up and down. I checked the switch and all four directions work fine on the drivers side. Does anyone have any ideas where to start looking for the fault?

Hi All. My first post on this excellent forum. Unfortunately, although I've learned a great deal about 'other things' here, I have an issue of my own which remains unresolved. My SLK230 R170 has had just about everything replaced to try and stop an irregular running / misfire problem. Plugs...

Ladies / Gents so our SLK200 R170 has been treated to a complete overhall. Problems that existed 1. rusting on all arches, scratches dents, dings 2. dislodged and misaligned headlamps 3. interior showing 15 years of wear 4. passenger side waterlogged under carpets due to blocked drains near...
