sl55

So I sold my Pitts Special stunt plane a few weeks ago, after 7 years of turning myself upside down at 200 mph, and my thoughts have now turned to something on the ground with a little more ‘oomph’ than my beautiful SL350 (With the optional ABC, you know!) (It'll be for sale soon...Anyway!)...

Pros and cons chaps,I know we dtl have the dreaded abc,v12 any good....anyone gone from a 55 to a 65?any help welcomed.

Hi everyone Can you help me on the question of value? I will need to sell my SL55 in the next couple of months as were starting an extension and the garage is going, sadly. I know selling in winter isn't the smartest thing to do but there you go. Question is, advertised values seem to vary...

So I've spoken to Paul from Eurocharged earlier this evening and he had picked up my SL from the exhaust shop.... So he said it's in the top 3 loudest SL55's he has heard, and isn't far off his E55 (which he wears hearing protectors for long journeys in) when the roof is down. Sub machine gun...

Spotted this unusual coloured SL55 at South Mimms services last night. Sounded meaty too. Definitely didn't have the standard exhaust system. Anybody know if this was a standard colour or Designo colour or if this has been wrapped? Looked like chrome blue to me.

.... it's another! One of the pulleys bearings went last week so Paul @ EC sorted me out a new pair. Fitted and touch wood with a new Continental supercharger belt fitted today. Hopefully that's enough of belt shredding. New map uploaded and logging underway. Great spin out for 60 miles...

Hi. Does the above use the standard DIN antenna plug??

Anybody had one done on a 2004+ SL55? Getting mixed reviews and would prefer to have some first hand feedback.

We had to check the results twice to make sure it was not a misread, those that have visited us will also know first hand 55K's don't tend to read as high as other dyno's. Great colour SL55 that was previously tuned by another company, I met the owner at a MBClub GTG and after a couple of...

Hi guys, I would like some advice. I have a 54 plate SL55 AMG with COMAND but no Bluetooth, ipod or phone at all. Is it possible to retrofit the Mercedes Bluetooth? Or is there something that I can buy that will work with steering wheel buttons, COMAND screen and let me play music from...

Time to progress the plastic bucket list and after 2+ years, let someone else enjoy this car as I just don't use it. Apart from a trip to Scotland in May of 1,600 miles it's sat in the garage through all the lovely weather. 76,300 miles MOT with no advisories till May 2015 Tax @ £265/year...

So, ive just got a SL55 and the diognostics check i had done before i bought it showed the kompressor oil pump may need replacing ( well that's what i think he said ) and so i believe there may be an uprated pump available, anyone know where i can get one of these bad boys from cheers, Jay....

Renewal due at end of this month and just wondering if you guys have any recommendations for who I could go to for a competitive quote. I always shop round my insurance every year as I think it pays to do this so will try the main companies etc. but wondered if anyone had any niche insurers...

In a car of so many highlights the Command/Bose Audio system in my 2005 SL55 is a massive let down. The audio system sound quality is no more than adequate (but then I have never really rated anything Bose have ever produced - style over substance IMO) and the Nav system is fiddly to use and...

Hi, I recently got an SL55 and was wondering what the normal running temperature is? Mine runs about 90 but it traffic it sits slightly under the 100 is that normal?

After having some paintwork done a few weeks back, I've had some more Gtechniq protection applied by Ed at Devine Detail today - I'm very happy with the results and think she looks fantastic. I've no connection directly with Ed beyong the work he's done on the SL, but would highly recommend his...

Greetings all, As a wary ex SL55 owner, (£110k from new, 41 non scheduled dealer visits - air suspension, electrics, hood etc), I was put off the brand for some time - even if the folks at MB did try and persuade me to get back behind the wheel with a significant head office funded discount...

Is there a sticky/pinned on this?? Would like to know cost & benefits; is it easy to do for someone like me :crazy: who isn't in the UK??

Hi all, Had a few requests for pics of these wheels so thought you all might like to see a few pics of the SL55 wearing her new boots. Done a lot to her in a year, full write up coming soon, but in summary: Respray New front bumper SL63 rear bumper Carbon door handles, fins. Carbon...

There's a distinctive knocking in the steering column when driving slowly over speed humps, I've not sensed this any other time, maybe it's the relatively slow speed and direct / even pressure on both front suspension that's causing this? I've tried a search here but found little info. Is this...
