r230

A bit of a long shot but does anyone have for sale a "Battery Control module" for a SL500 or SL55. Alternatively does anyone repair these? Or is it a trip to the dealers. Part number A 230 540 1045

hi everyone, my 2002 SL500 doesn't seem to be running right. its drives ok, but when setting off it nearly conks out every time. Today it has completely stalled when puling out from a junction (not very safe!!) just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and may be able to help...

Seeing as Haynes don't make one and emanuals online are a nightmare to use has anyone else done a decent easy to follow set of user guides to the SL ? I'm after basic stuff like oil service etc and all the torque figures ?

Hi Everyone, I'm just about (24 hours away) from buying a 2008 R230 and for the last two days I've been googling to try to find out exactly what I can and can't do with the batteries and there doesn't seem to be consensus. The issue is that I don't have a garage and the car will sometimes sit...

had the car a few months, the last owner used it to travel to Holland/Belgium each week and now i can't get the sat nav to recognise my home town in the UK, first told me i was in Holland then after constant reloading it gradually came to the uk and Kings Lynn is as far as i can get, it's been...

For some time I have fancied a comfortable convertible cruiser for high days and holidays, the latter including trips around the continent. The short list seemed to be very short - Jaguar XK or Mercedes SL - and the Jaguar soon dropped out because of the soft top and, to a lesser extent for me...

Desperate for some helpful input. My 2002 R230 (76k) has had a very loud tinny rattling/buzzing coming from what, (sounds like), underneath the front third of the vehicle, seemingly slightly more to passenger side. It rarely occurs on cold startup but once run to temp, is guaranteed to start...

Has anyone bought an aftermarket wind break for their R230 SL? The one on the other half's car has two holes in it (cigarette burn maybe :dk:) and as minor as it is, it's the little things that detract from it's condition. So I was on eBay and came across a few of them for sale that are...

In excellent all round condition. Genuine 46,000 miles with one lady owner for 12 years. Has always been garaged when not being used. Properly maintained, with the usual R230 jobs having been addressed (ABC and boot seal). View Wimbledon. Mercedes-Benz SL Class 5.0 SL500 2dr

Just got my R230 500 she has an intermittent fault she cranks over but won't fire up if it does its lumpy ... Then if I try again she runs as sweet as a nut ... Dr Google is saying crank sensor ... Any ideas ? Please advise feeling very worried

I have a brand new R230 boot spoiler painted in Obsidian Black sitting in my loft. It is not genuine, however fitment is perfect. I had one on my SL500 and bought the same one for my SL55 but sold the car before fitting. In perfect condition, only £40.00. Ideally collect from Essex but...

Hi all As a result of a late-onset midlife crisis, I have just bought a tidy 54-plate SL350 with 57k miles on the clock, picking it up next week. Really excited about the prospect of some exhilarating motoring but absolutely petrified that it will become a money pit with a leaking boot and...

Can anyone tell me if/where there is an un-switched permanent power source in the front of a late 2005, early 2006 R230 SL350? This is needed for a Dension installation. Thanks in advance for your help with this question.

Hi, I have asked before, however … I’ve fitted an Alpine Head Unit into my 2005 SL350 (R230) where the FM reception is nowhere as good as the original. I received some excellent advice from ‘Richard’ concerning the feed to the Audio Gateway (thanks again), but I want to check whether I have...

After the installation of VCS (Linguatronic) to my SL I seem to have inherited a problem with my keyless go. The problem may be as a result of something that I have 'done' whilst installing the VCS equipment but I have checked all of my work and cant find anything that may have caused the...

Hi all as the title says basically. Looking a centre console and door trims. Any finish as I want to hydro dip them. If you have any that want to sell particularly the centre console please let me know? Thanks Mark

Greetings all, Apologies for my first post being a query... I have trawled through tons of old posts at this point but had a couple of remaining queries that I wanted to ask! I have just bought my first Merc, a very well cared for SL55 AMG, 2003 model :bannana: The one area that I want...

Does anyone know the part number (and cost) for the wiring harness needed to retrofit linguatronic to 2005 R230 with MOST bus? Thanks for any help! Paul G
