Do not forget that the volts are not 12 all the times, but 11 to 14+ at times. So make it a give and take a little. Regards. aam.

When I move the shift lever, instead of just straight up or down, I also apply pressure sideway at the same time so it will hit the "gate" and stops.

The harness check is right on. If that has been changed, then there is something in what you report that sounds like the engine is laboring under a lean condition (air bypassing the MAS). You think that too, and you also report- Pump the brake at idle and it nearly stalls. I'm not sure if there is such a failure mode in the vacuum power brake diaphram for this car, but sounds like it is leaking air, and providing air to the intake system,...

Now the interesting question remains. How do you get access to the led cluster....

Hi Max,
I wrote up this guide a while ago. Should be useful for you: The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL Class - BrianClifton . com
The SL500 isn't that bad for maintenance. Tires, brakes, and oil changes. I have a 2001 and it's never had any problems. The SL600 has ADS to worry about which might be expensive to fix if it wasn't maintained.

I have the same question as well? When I got my 92 a month ago, the PO did
state those 2 remote keys were lost long time ago. I am also curious about
how and cost to get them. My indy told me those keys are old generation
remote key and do not work quite the same as the newer keys, you have to
stay close to the car and aiming to the receiver.

What is the suggested vs. real-world usage of a drop, and how is it done? Is that something that helps the cornering and the balance, or does it just look better and provide tire rub? Looking for the future.

If your old 300 wasnt enough for you, what makes you think the 320 would feel any different?
You already know you like the car, you just want more power.
If I were you I'd look for a low milage 500 that you can comfortably afford.

Have you looked at this thread? http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r129... d-pad-r-r.h tml
There is a lot of information covering what you are looking for. It even has pics of the procedure from Redliner.
I think it should give you any info you might need to complete the entire project.

Remove the seat bottom and take a look. It is very easy to remove, two screws or torx screws (I cant remember which for that year) in the front bottom under the cushion. You can easily see the mechanism and it might be a simple fix.
When putting the seat back in make sure the two rear pins on the pan are in the holes in the rear or the front wont go back down.
If you find soemthing you ...

Hi, Here is the quote from my old post. It just dealt with the horn. You have to go deeper.
"Your problem is a nice little DYI job. No big deal.
First, move your steering wheel all the way up and out.
Now, disconnect the battery or go under the passenger foot well and disconnect the large RED plug, which is the airbags.
There are two holes in the back of the steering wheel with torx...

They would fit without spacers and some people have bolted the R230 wheels to R129 cars, but there is an issue with the lug bolts. All R230 cars use 14mm/wide thick lug bolts as opposed to 12mm thick/wide lug bolts on the R129. You cannot use R230 lug bolts on the R129 (unless you drill out the hubs), so are left to use R129 lug bolts, which will "work", but there would be a 1mm space around ...

Good, you removed the wooden console. Now all you have to is just reach
with your fingers under the north-west corner of the gear-selector box and
you should find a wire reaching into a socket. Twist it slightly and pull

I found a very simple inexpensive way of adding the MP3 adapter. It was easy to install and is SO much better thatn the silly CD changer that always seems to skip. I ordered it from Bipes Automotive Mazda Miata Mercedes SLK . I think it was a little over $100. You can order the radio removal tool from them also. There are directions on how to do it and it took me about an hour to remove the...
