r230

Happy Easter! After reading all your comments about making my car louder, I would like to clarify. My pride and joy is a weekend day car, I don't drive at night and do respect the neighbours! After hearing my car (for the first time) from behind travelling at speed, it is loud enough, great...

Hi (SL500/R230 2004) Just wondered if anyone had wired a extra power supply for a snooper and/or camera. I am looking at adding the snopper to the dashboard and possibly locating the camera under (attached to) the rear view mirror. (Put a small hole and threaded bar to mirror case and camera...

Just purchased an 06 SL55 AMG, does anybody have an F1/pace-car bumper they don't want? Long shot, but worth a try. Thanks

As the title says really. I am after a spare centre console and interior door trims for both the left and right hand sides from an R230 SL. Mine is an SL55 AMG but I pretty sure parts from any R230 would fit. I intend to have these hydro dipped and then fitted to the car. I have been told...

Centre console Ashtray unit and flap Interior door trims Too fit my SL55 AMG but think any R230 parts would fit. Cheers

I'm not sure if this is on the right part of the forum, but here goes. Not been my month so far, but the right rear quarter window packed in working tonight. In normal use it would retract a small amount on opening the door and return to position when the door is closed (presumably to secure...

Tempted by the good price and relatively low mileage, took the plunge to buy one of the above in Black. It now lives with us here in the Isle of Man and my missus and I fight over who gets to drive (funny she was never that keen on driving anywhere before!). Looking forward to learning lots...

I am collecting my car next week, a 2006 model. It would be good to get some insights to preventative maintenance and ownership tips Thanks!

I have in the garage a set of factory suspension links from my 2003 SL55 amg that I have recently sold. I fitted a set of lowering links to the car and kept them on there when I sold it. Free to anyone who is in the Leigh On Sea (Essex) area or anyone that wants to cover postage can have...

I have for sale a custom steering wheel from my CLS 2007. I have now sold the car. It is about 6 months old almost new condition. It is black leather with dark grey stitching (very subtle, enough to make it look classy). Perforated around the middle with thumb grips. It is much thicker than the...

Hi, Having fitted an aftermarket Head Unit into my 2005 SL350 with Keyless Entry+Go, I am now looking to fit a Reverse Camera, however, the ‘lock’ button to the side of the boot opening lever takes up the space where a camera might best fit. Therefore, I’m looking for inspiration … I don’t...

Hi, I have a 2005 SL350 where I noted this cold morning that when I put the car (gearbox) into reverse and started to move backwards (slowly), that the gearbox became noisy, sounding as if there was a slight vibration or knocking coming from the transmission. Driving forwards was absolutely...

I have a brand new lip spoiler painted in Obsidian Black for an R230 Mercedes (SL350/SL550/SL55). I have just sold my SL55 and didn't get around to fitting. Fitting is perfect as is the paint finish. After £75 for it. Would rather buyer collect but can arrange courier at buyer's expense...

I'm just dipping my toe in the water really but am thinking of selling our cherished SL. Only for a newer one I may add... Its low mileage at 71k but that may go up due to use. Jasper Blue (with a purple pearl), 02, Auto, AMG Kit, Orion grey leather (dark grey), Carbon...

Hi, I had asked for assistance with poor (no) FM reception after installing an after-market Head Unit and received excellent assistance to identify that I needed to connect an additional 'switch-on' supply to specific wires leading to the Audio Gateway ... oh, a 2005 SL350 with (now removed)...

Hi Folks, My wifes Sl350 r230 blows constant cold air from the dash centre vents, Tried all manner of settings etc to no avail, the open close wheels do not make any difference either, this is a real pain in winter as the car takes ages to heat up inside with the additional cold air...

The plastic rear side panels on each side of rear window have discoloured on the underside.it looks like they have a black coating which is coming of about 2" in on both sides,do these panels come off easily ?if so how,maybe i could recoat the using a mat black spray or somthing to that...

Hi,Strange newbie question here. Has anyone else experienced magically increasing mileage. I bought a low mileage R230 last week and every time I park it up, I go back to the garage to find the mileage shown has increased while it's been parked. Is this a known fault? The car definitely hasn't...
