Sl500
Hi there peoples
I need some help here or some guidence ,
I have a 1991 r129 sl 500 , I bought 3 years ago and it’s great fun and I love it !
I have a problem with the engine , it starts fine but it’s not running as it should ,
After about 20 min of driving it sounds starved of petrol and it struggle to drive itself , it then cuts out and backfires if I attempt to restart it , when it cools back down it will start again but the problem repeats .
Has this happened anyone else or can any body recommend a Mercedes specialist that I could bring it ?
I’ve tried my regular mechanic but he’s not a mb specialist and he’s done the usual cleaning the tank etc but he’s held his hands up and said I’d be faster bringing to someone who has the machine to diagnose it and he’s be happy doing the work if he knew the problem
im based in the Liverpool region but can transport the car ( within reason ) to someone who knows what they are doing and actually want to do it !!
Thanks in advance !!
