R230 Sl500 Engine cut off issues

[acetracker2014]

Dear Friends,

I have an R230 SL500 which I have had for over 20 years. It has only 43K miles on it and is immaculate but has developed a few issues.

1. Leak in the trunk.
2. Engine cuts off when it's cold first thing when you start it and start driving it. The cut off is for a split second and the car continues going after what can only be described as a hiccup.
3. Door lock not working great. Have to press on remote several times to make it work.

Please can someone recommend an SL specialist that can help with these issues ?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

1. "They all do that." A specialist can easily fix it. Here's a thread discussing the whole issue: R230 Boot Seal Leaks | Bodywork

2. Basic diagnostic look up should identify the problem.

3. It'll be a weak battery in the key fob, when did you last change It? (It's easy to do)
