sl350

Just wondering is there any good DIY articles on changing the engine oil and transmission oil?

It breaks my heart to say that I am having to sell my 2005 SL350 :( We had a new baby girl 3 months ago and now we tend to drive my wife's car when we go out. The SL is not getting much use and today I took the plung and (forgive me!) bought a BMW 335i convertible (2007). Shock horror, I know...

My beloved SL350 is for sale: 42K miles. First registered 1/3/5. One previous owner. Black with Alpaca grey leather interior and aluminium trim. Retractable metal roof. COMAND widescreen sat nav. 6 CD changer and in-dash DVD player. Heated memory driver and passenger seats...

I am considering chaning my 2005 SL350 for a 2005 CL500 due to arrival of a new baby and the need for 'occasional' back seat use (probably no more than once a week). I am going to view a CL500 tomorrow. It is a 2005 on an 05 plate with 46K miles, having had 2 services and 9K miles before the...

Hi All started to get a strange chirping noise from the N/S of the dash/glove box began checking it and it stopped!! next day same thing seems to be only when the blower motor is on and is very intermittent thinking it may be blower motor i lifted the bonnet removed the air intake grid only to...

After selling my 1995 CE320 a few months ago, I am now kicking myself for being a fool and leaving MB ownership. By chance I have been offered privately a one owner 2003 SL350 with 28,500 miles on the clock (it has every gizmo imaginable including built in TV, Satnav, phone etc) The seller wants...

I have a 2003 SL350 with 19" AMG style rims. The tyres are curently 235-35-19 but I'm looking to move up to a larger profile as the 35's are just too low and uncomfortable for some of the roads I travel. Can anyone advise as to what profile I can move up too or tyre size to go with? I'm thinking...

Hi! I took my 2005 (39K miles) SL350 to Robinsons MB for an A service today (quoted at about £250). I got a call telling me it needs the following additional work and charges: Air and fuel filter change: £272 Spark plug change: £654 Gearbox oil change: £257 These costs seem astronomical to...

My 04 SL 350's boot is stopping about 2 inches from the flush closing position when I open or close the roof . If I release the operating switch and then re engage it the boot then closes to the flush position . I have had it for 4 years and up to a month ago it has always closed on the first...

Can anyone tell me where to find the codes on the vehicle for the paint and upholstery used? Thanks Stevie

OK help me out here I have to choose between an SL350 and the 500 about 2003/4/5 ish. Fuel consumption is an issue I will be honest, but have asked that question already and I get the feeling that they are similar...

Hi could anyone with a 2003/4/5 SL350 Auto, give me any idea of the average fuel consumption I can expect. Many thanks Stevie ;)

Hi nice simple question. What is the MB code for a 2003-4 SL350 Thanks Stevie ;)

Another hire for a few days from the nice chaps at Classic Car Club Great car.... I picked it up yesterday lunch and came back down the A13, wind in my hair, cruising to some classic rock at a nice steady 60mph. Everything feels slightly less rushed in this car, even more so than the...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-MERCEDES-SL-350-AUTO-BLUE-22k-MILES-PAN-ROOF_W0QQitemZ320350321782 Seems like very good value considering the very low mileage.

Can anyone please help a new MB convert. This weekend, my parking brake release appears to have 'detatched' from the main parking brake mechanism. The plastic release handle is completely 'floppy' and has no effect upon the parking brake. The parking brake did release before failing...

Hi Guys, Here are a couple of pic of my 2005 SL350, which I got about 3 months ago. I am very happy with it, and all I have done so far is to replace the original 17" wheels with the 18s in the photo. Now, I think there is not enough contrast between the aluminium trim and the alpaca...

I am at a loose end today! :D Just seen this AUC SL350, Southport MB, nice car. 2004(04 plate). I know he has it up for £20995, but how much is it actually worth (ie what would he take for it?) It hasn't got COMAND and it is in an unusual colour for an SL - Cubanite - not the usual Obsidian...

This one is absolutely stunning, Obsidian black lack with red leather. I don't know if this represents decent value but it seems to me like it does. I didn't realise new shape SLs were down at this sort of price. If I had a few more pennies in the bank right now I would be sorely tempted...
