Looking for a r129 specialist in Lancashire

[antonytaylor]

I am looking for an R129 specialist in Lancashire for my 93 500SL.
I have the following faults that I cannnot solve

Soft top - Roof will go down OK but on the roof up function after the cover closes the rear window will not drop back and you have to push it
ASR light intermittingly will light up and go into limp mode (generally after running for 30 minutes plus)
Intermitent fault on right rear light

Give Steve a call at CVM in Preston (up by Asda) He is MB trained and I know he has sorted roofs in the past. They have full STAR etc,. Number is 01772702070 - tell him Steve gave you his details. I'll pass what you said on to him

P.S.

Hi,

Regarding the ASR.

You might be able to sort this yourself, try adjusting throttle cable to take any slack out of it, the cable needs to move the throttle mechanism before the tab on the lever hits the prong of the fork on the ASR rod. When it is working correctly the ASR rod fork moves simultaneously keeping the tab on the lever in the centre of the fork, if the cable is slack it pushes the fork and throws the fault.

This is not a very technical job, if you have no idea what I am trying to explain I can give more instructions if necessary.

cheers.
