sl500

Hi A little help if possible, my SL500 1992 has an annoying fault, it keeps sounding the roof not fitted correct alarm when the roof is locked and fine, it does this with the hardtop and soft top, and it only makes the noise when you use the brakes, ive checked and oiled the micro switches...

Hi all, My 1997 SL500 has been ticking for the past few thousand miles, evidence of the plastic Cam Oiler tubes possibly having failed and 'popped' their ends off. I was experiencing the usual symptoms....ticking engine, oil pressure at 3 bar when under acceleration, but often down to 1...

Hi everyone, having done a lot of work on my SL600 (documented elsewhere on this forum) I was asked by a friend to find and "restore" an R129 SL500 for him. By restore it was a case of fix everything that needs fixing mechanically and also cosmetically for it to be one of the best in the land...

I have a very nice example up for sale now if there is any interest. I had bought it as a keeper as desperately wanted an R129 SL back in the garage again after missing my old SL60. A couple of things not working out as I had hoped means it really has to go. My brother is selling it for me...

Hey guys Just bought my first sl500 :) It's just had a new abc pump fitted as old one was leaking,but now the car is low on one side ? Any ideas ?

I am reluctantly selling my SL500. It's on eBay here There are a number of videos of the car available (see the ebay advert for links) I have spent a lot of money on the car this year to make sure the ABC suspension is as good as it can be including a new ABC/Combi Pump...

Afternoon all. Went to put the roof down today as it is a bit sunny (for once of late!) and nothing happened - there's no activity whatsoever, not even a whirring from the pump in the boot. For the past few weeks the roof light has been glowing when the roof is up (as per the photo below)...

Oddly the remote won't open or close the doors Drive it for a few miles and the convenience functions come back Is this a battery issue ? Or a gremlin ? Thanks in advance

Just discovered that my 1994 R129 SL500 (M119 engine) takes 13 :eek: litres of engine oil. It has 140K miles on the clock. I haven't collected the car yet, so have no handbook, but (as ever) the first thing I do with a new car is change the oil and filter. I use only 5W40 fully-synthetic in...

Evenin' all. I've just been to see a 1991 R129 SL500 I'm interested in, and it has (among others) an idling issue. The engine idled normally at first, but then rose to idle at 1500, then 1700, rpm. If I manually blipped the linkage at the rear above the engine, then held it against the stop, it...

A heads up that I'll be selling my SL500 Silver Arrow in August. I bought it last November having searched for a while and had intended to keep it. But then an SL60 came along... The previous owner owned the car 7 years from 35,000 miles to 116,000miles. It's now at 118,000. It has been...

Hi Need to replace the battery in the boot of my SL500 - don't really want to pay dealer prices though. Any idea where is best to get one from? Or what size does it need to be to fit? Thanks

Hi, Anyone know why there is a problem at MB with Selenite Grey paint. I ordered a new SL500 two months ago in Palladium Silver only to be told some time later that the colour had been discontinued and was being replaced by Selenite Grey. So I chose that colour and was advised delivery for...
