sl500

(I hope the mods will excuse my putting this in General Discussion, where as many people as possible may see it). I need the part numbers for the jacking point covers for a 1994 R129 with AMG bodykit. The vehicle's VIN won't help, because it did not come out of the factory with the kit...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to decide between a Sl500 and a Sl350. Can someone share with me some pros and cons? I realise the suspension is. Problem, anything else? I've had an m3 e46 before and just sold my Audi TT dsg 3.2 so I'm actively looking. After a convertible with some luxury...

Evenin' all. I need to do a cylinder compression test on my 1994 SL500 (base module unit, not OVP). Is there an easy way to disable the fuel injection temporarily so that it does not fuel while I am cranking the engine over?

Hi folks, my SL's headlights have a deposit of something on the inside. It isn't moisture; I suspect it's the result of someone using cheap bulbs in the past, and something's burned off. There's also a dead fly in the o/s light! It looks unsightly and no doubt adversely affects the light output...

Still plugging (no pun intended) on with the thing - still misfiring on no.5 cylinder, which is the one it was misfiring on originally. New distributor caps & rotors, new HT leads, new plugs, have made no difference. Some will recall that when I changed the plugs, the one in no.5 showed no signs...

Hi Happy New year everybody. I have seen this on ebay 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL Class 5.0 SL500 2dr Thoughts on this guys. Thanks in advance.

I have an ongoing problem with the glove compartment closure: it appears to close properly, but sometimes the light stays on. A hard slam of the door effects a temporary fix, but it's become annoying. An MB repairer has already a go at sorting this, but told me that the permanent fix may have...

I am looking to get some more power and responsiveness from the car. I also have XJR and XKR (both 4.2 SC) and I feel that the 5.0L in the Merc, whilst not matching the other two should be closer in performance. Bearing this in mind does anyone on here have any experience of remapping Mercs in...

Well, I fitted the new ignition leads to my 1994 R129 SL500 today. It now has new engine wiring harness, distributor caps & rotors, ignition leads, and plugs. The regular misfire is gone - Hurrah! HOWEVER... It still runs roughly, and misses, splutters and holds back under throttle - quite...

I have a regular misfire on my '94 SL 500. I've changed the plugs,distributor caps and rotor arms, but it has made no difference. Seven plugs are the right light brown colour; the front left plug is just oily - not carbon fouled - with no sign of combustion in that pot. I'm thinking a new...

Hello I am new to this forum and recently bought a SL500 2004. It is my first Mercedes (dare I say on here I have 2 Jaguars; XKR and XJR and just sold a 645) so I am a bit of a V8 car nut. Having seen around 40 500's at auction over this year I finally found one that I felt was suitable, of...

Hi all just wondered about your thoughts on this. Any idea on price

Anyone got any good ideas of bags which could neatly fit behind the seats of an R230, and inside the boot? Understood that there's a rather nifty £400 Mercedes leather bag that was sold "back in the day" to go BEHIND the seats, but I'm looking for something cheaper and perhaps not as wide and...

Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances, my very much loved R230 SL500 must be sold. It has recently had a VAST amount of work done to it, but will list the photos first then the details. (click the photos for larger versions). Photos Details The car has...

Hello all I am new to the forum - an ML owner now looking for a nice SL500. I have seen a beautiful '97 SL500 in what appears to be fault free condition: full MOT, FSH (MB and indie) last owner 5 years, lovely colour combination of dark blue with beige leather, <70k miles, pano roof...

Putting aside my other thread for the moment, what does the team think would be a fair price for a car in condition as follows? 1994 SL500, 142000 miles, four months' MoT (but only a few miles since the test), Carlsson 18 in. split rim wheels (all needing refurb), Heinz 57 tyres (two Dunlops...

I have a 2006 SL500 with the full factory AMG body kit and alloys I've seen a set of the darker SL65 AMG alloys for sale - I think they are described as cross drilled Can't decide if they would look naff and cheapen the car which is black

So rare in fact it was produced 6 years before the rest:doh::eek::D Mercedes Benz SL500 Silver Arrow Sterling Moss R129 Edition | eBay

Up for sale is mine SL500 (1993), shame to be listing it but simply don't have time for it. Would consider PX for another classic car - 99300 miles - 3 owners ( i am the fourth one) - Private plate included (K500 ***) - HPI clear - MOT 27/10/2015 - Hardtop included - Bodywork in good...

When the car is cold i get a really whiny noise from the PAS pump. As soon as it gets warm it seems to settle down. Im taking it in for a service at Merc but before i do does anyone have an idea what it may be. Levels look fine for fluid etc and no play on belts. Thanks
