sl500

Strikes me as rather odd, this one, but possibly someone on here has had the same problem. The car is a 1994 SL500 - M119 engine, old hydraulic four-speed auto box. Engine and gearbox warm. The car started fine, but the throttle seemed rather flaccid - plenty of travel and nothing, then it...

A good friend of mine is selling his SL500. It was seeing his that led me on my extensive search which ended up with me buying the SL60. I realised just how hard it is to find a good one having scoured the country at the time and also concluded that he was lucky to have found his in such good...

Looking for an azurite blue R129 SL500....will consider any age/mileage/condition....any out there?

The alarm siren randomly came on whilst driving today. The car is fitted with the MBSS system, with the red and green lights in the rear view mirror. Whilst the locking functions work fine, and the immobiliser comes on as it should etc, nothing I did could switch the alarm off, including turning...

Does anyone know the owner of a Mercedes SL500 reg BC04 XRH? Thanks David

Today I drove an SL500 for the first time and found the suspension decidedly unlike a magic carpet, even on comfort. The car has lovely 19" AMG alloys - 285/35 rear and 255/35 front - but from the factory came with 17". Anyone run an R230 with ABC on 19" rims who can comment on what effect the...

Hi guys does anyone have all the key words for the LINGUATRONIC system and what is controlled by this system? Also can you change it from a German accent to a UK ?:thumb:

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...

I've only used the above a couple of times over the last year or so, and the battery conditioner got accidentally switched off. I started the car with a proper battery booster, and afterwards the ESP and ABS warning lights came on and have remained on since, although I've only tested the car up...

Have been doing a bit of research on my 1993 R129 SL500 and was interested to see from Wiki that starting in 1993 for the 1994 model year, R129 were re-designated so 500SL became SL500. I am interested to find out what the chassis number of the first 1993 SL500 would have been. For sake of...

Can anyone point me in the direction of the specification and maybe availability of a Navigation CD for a 2003 SL500 SatNav? I've either lost, or didn't have, the disc for my car, and didn't care, because, as we all know, it's a bit sheet. But I'm now selling the SL500 for a relatively...
