sl500

I miss the sound of my old TVR so I am taking the SL in to Infinity Exhausts to have the secondary cats removed next Friday. I have a friendly MOT tester so I am not worried about that... I'll do it in stages, this is Stage 1, if it's still too quiet I'll delete the silencers too and see how...

Bit of a project as needs some small tidying and running bit rough... Something ignition related or might just be lack of use... Have started replacing bits but not tracked the dodgy part down yet. Cuts out after getting warm. Lots of positives ... Beautiful working roof. Leather nice ...

Hi Well I've been away from the forums for a while (busy working) and I sold my C270 about a year ago, but int he meantime I did pick up a lovely SLK350 for my good lady and a Lexus GS450h for myself.. Right now I am in the process of purchasing an 03 SL500 as a weekend toy to replace my...

Anyone had experience with these? Spotted the 2005+ have an updated nav but not sure what else the facelift had. Keen to know things to check on viewings/weak points - had a drive of one the other day and the V8 is silky smooth...

Hi, I am currently looking to buy an SL350 between 2006 - 2008, just want to hear from a few owners about there opinion of the car and I have a few questions to ask about ownership. I am only 20 years old but with some man maths and large reductions in spending I worked out by early next year...

All, Further to my posting at the start of the year with regards to performance issues, alas, this morning I have another one. Not sure if it's related to the previous but here goes. I haven't used her for about 3 weeks so thought I would take her in to work today - about 6 miles...

I accept the nicer cars cost more and it's easy to overlook the pricier ones on private sale as being sold by dreamers but after looking at this bloody car for a month that is very overpriced ( in my opinion and against other nice ones on sale) I thought I would consult the forum. 2 R129s stand...

Hi everyone, im new on here, im looking to buy an 03-05 SL, my dilemma is which to choose? In real world terms, is the 350 much slower than the 500? What realistic mpg gains would I get from the 350? Or is the general consensus get a V8? Is there any common things to look out for...

Hi all, Have a 2003 SL500, standard 18" wheels so 285/35 18 rear and 255/40 18 front. Currently fitted with MO Pirelli tyres, seeing at the car is 11 years old and tyres are always getting better. Would MO tyres still be the correct way to go for replacing them? Looking at around £600...

Hi all, I have a strange rough running problem on my '94 SL500 It started a month or more ago when it started running rough while in a drive through at McDonalds. Almost stalling I had to 'hold' the revs to keep it running. I parked it up waiting for my Big Macs and it wouldn't...

As i am waiting for my sl500 (1993) to be delivered, i was wondering what classic car insurance members here use and could recommend for me? :)

Hi all. I bought a Mercedes SL500 on 5 August 2014 from a Mercedes Dealer. The car looked stunning but had a few of issues. Despite, giving them 2 chances to fix it, they haven't, so i'm giving them chance number 3! I just wonder if anyone might be able to help 'diagnose' what might be...

My SL might be for sale - PM me if interested and I will update below when I get a second. Just had £550 spent on the leather at D Class, Great hood, needs some tidying to make perfect and has intermittent hot start problem I have not had time to look at ... will be cheap to move quickly as...

well I have finally booked Gertie the G in to have some remediary paintwork attended to. In what I can only consider to be one of my most successful pieces of man-maths to date I managed to persuade SWMBO that we needed another car whilst that was in being painted. Cue a 58,000 mile SL500 in...

Hi all I'm a forum newbie so please be kind! Just bought a 93 SL500 with 18K on the clock! trouble is the ADS lamp intermittently comes on and the suspension then defaults to "rock hard" it usually resets if the car is left for an hour or so. Any ideas? and can anybody recommend an indie...
