sl500

Hi, just joined and looking for an R129 SL500. Would like to buy from a forum member as I have looked at several rubbish examples on general sale and given up. If anyone has one please can they contact me, thank you. Look forward to joining the fold.

I have decided to sell my R129 SL500 first registered in Guernsey in June 1996 and on the UK mainland in March 1998. It's metallic Emerald Black, with 85000 miles. Excellent Condition. With original factory hard top (plus stand and cover), wind deflector and 8 hole alloy wheels. Two previous...

1997 SL500 Cabriolet fitted with a 5-litre Quad Cam 119 V8 engine. This particular car is in immaculate condition, having had four very careful owners, and has one of the best engines Mercedes Benz has ever made. The 500 SL R129 was at its best for the years 1996, 1997 and 1998, as these were...

Hi all Hope no one minds me asking this, I do know its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string but I just want to see what others on here say as I feel like I'm not understanding whats going on with R129 prices? I've been slowly looking to buy a SL500 R129 and taking my time just as a...

I've encountered a problem on my SL500, SRS light & rollover lamp on, clicking sound behind seats, command module says 'currently unavailable'. I've had the system reset on STAR, but has reoccurred intermittently Very grateful if anyone can help.

Always admired the mid 90's sl500 roadster for its sleek lines and I notice that cosmetically mint ones with full service history can be found for around £5k.Would I opening myself up to a whole world of expense with one of these or not? Obviously I dont expect to run one on a shoestring! Would...

Up for sale is mine SL500, shame to be listing it but simply don't have time for it. If you check the mileage, you probably see that is has done around 200-300 miles in the past year or so. - 98100 miles - 2 owners ( i am the second one) - Private plate included (K500 ***) - HPI clear - MOT...

Hello gents, I went through a bit of reading here and I think it is the right time to ask the community. Sorry if this has been asked already. I am considering putting between 4 to 6k in a week end car which would be either a 2000-2003 CL500 or an older SL350 or SL500. They both appear sexy...

I had a look at an SL, 1983, recently and when I looked at the passenger side foot well behind a panel I found a box about 5" X 5" X 1.5" with a cable running into it connected with a large plug. Is this the cars ECU?

Bought a foxwell abs/airbag reset gadget. But every time i turn the light off the next time i take the car out it comes back on. Fault code 11 any advise greatly appreciated

Hi all - Previously lurked here when i had a W203 for a couple of years. I have just taken the plunge with a 2000 SL500. Good history and new hood. Lovely looking car I have done the VIN number identification and very useful. I collect the car next week and out of curiosity i was...

The rear window on the passenger side only goes down about 1/4 way before sticking. This happens with or without the roof down. Can anyone tell me how easy it is to get to the mechanism so see what the problem is. Thanks.

It has been a long and hard time since my SL60 moved along to Jay. Hope she is being good to you Jay?! I am missing the SL though so although I bought a really nice Maserati 4200 recently I wouldn't mind adding an R129 SL back into the garage. I had an R129 SL500 prior to the SL60 which was...

Hi All Currently have a year 2000 - SLK 320. Had for 4-5 years, great car - no costs other than tyres and servicing. I have done all my own maintenance for all my cars over the past 30 years, so not a lot daunts me. I have STAR diagnostic kit. Always wanted a V8, and the SLK is a bit tight for...

I'm looking for help with the best way, either the official procedure or the best method with the benefit of experience, to drain the hydraulic fluid on an R129 SL500. It looks dirty compared to the fresh fluid and I have a lot of fresh fluid sitting from an S124 I bought a few years ago that...

Hi all, Slight disaster - see below. Some background. Hard top has been on all winter and today was the day for it to come off. Some may recall I had issues last year with a leaky main piston so was going to change that for a good one at the same time. The hard top would not shift...
