Hi. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am wanting to change my comand unit for an Alpine or pioneer 7 or 8 inch unit etc. The old unit is the original and works fine, but I would love to now upgrade. Does anyone know where I can get this done? I live near Gatwick airport. Sent from...

Hi! I have a 2005 sl with ntg1 and v12 DVD map. I know there is now the v16 but reading around they say is not compatible with r230 due to a software change. This is very strange because ntg1 is the same of all other models so I really think is a mistake but before buy and try the DVD I would...

When I started my car this morning it was making a really loud ticking noise, looks like the noise is coming from the bottom right pulley (indicated with red arrow in photo). Can any please tell me: 1) What this pulley does? 2) How easy is it to replace? 3) Part Number? 4) Estimated cost...

hi everyone, Thinking of buying a pair of K & N Filters for my R230 SL500. Ive googled this and some recommend not doing it because it damages an air flow sensor because of the oil ? Any help greatly appreciated ! Thanks

At the end of last year I suffered a series of dispiriting ABC problems with my 2003 SL 500 (R230): new strut, new tandem pump and finally a new connecting rod (following a total collapse of the os/front suspension). Today the car was idling in a traffic jam for about 5 minutes when the ns/f...

Hi, Having posted last year that, following an accident – Aircon undamaged – my Aircon would not switch ‘on’ despite the switch in the Centre Console illuminating, I finally carried out some ‘back to basics’ fault diagnosis where it transpired that there was power going to the Aircon...

Hi there, I've been having problems with the boot close on my SL350 and one of the problems we've found is the connector to the Lock Switch (230-820-56-10). This has a 3 pin connector, but the middle pin has snapped off and is stuck in the connector end on the loom. I've got hold of a...

Hi all, First post so please be gentle lol Recently bought a 2002 R230 SL. I'd like to be able to connect my iphone via bluetooth for handsfree. is this possible? Ive seen bluetooth modules being sold on a popular auction site. Can i just buy one and plug it in? or do they need...

My 2007 has now decided that it doesn't like starting sometimes. But return to the car later in the day and it will probably start immediately! On each occasion it has been quite cold and it will be the first start of the day. Not dead - all electrics whir and all that, but no turnover...

Hi all, Trying to find all of the parts to retrofit distronic to an R230 SL63 AMG (2009). Anyone aware of anyone breaking a car that has the parts required? Thanks, Simon

I'm looking for a complete AMG kit (front + rear bumpers and skirts) for an 04 SL500. Cash waiting Regards.

Hi, I have the old nokia phone in the armrest thing going on which is obviously well out of date. How do I get my iphone 6 to work within the car without fitting a parot device as I don't like the look of them? What parts do I need and where do I find them? The car is 2003 SL55 AMG. Cheers

The catch on mine doesn't work. So need a replacement. Needs to be light grey to match the rest of the interior. Cheers

Some of what follows has been discussed in a technical thread. This narrative brings the story up to date with a further development and asks the question: what do you do when an M-B authorised repairer turns out to be a nightmare and there's no easy alternative? The car in question is a 2003...

Need to replace offside panel next to rear window glass as appears to be tarnished. Any idea how much and how easy to replace?

I'm looking for an R230 facelift front grill for the 55 as I think it looks a lot cleaner. The one I'm after is the three slat grill rather than the pre facelift 4 slat. Thanks

At the risk of asking the stupidest and most long shot question ever I would like to ask if anyone has a spare rubber piece that is missing from the bottom section of the cup holder in my SL55 AMG. Highly highly unlikely I know so if nobody has one could anyone suggest a good replacement...

Does anyone know how to replace the bulb of the interior lights housed in the interior rear view mirror?
