A true event: while grilled, Ingrid stumbled and fell. She was offered to call an ambulance. But she assured everyone that she was OK and had stumbled over this stone only because of her new shoes. Because she seemed a little pale and timid, she was helped to clean herself and brought her a new plate with food. Ingrid spent the rest of the evening cheerful and cheerful. Ingrid’s husband called late and let everyone know that his wife was going to the hospital. At 11 p.m. Ingrid died there! She had suffered a stroke while cricketing!! If her friends had known how to interpret the signs of a stroke, Ingrid could still live today! Some people do not die immediately. They often remain in a desperate situation that is dependent on help for a long time. It only takes 1 minute to read the following: A neurologist said that if he came to a victim of a stroke within 3 hours, he would be able to escape. He said, the whole trick is to recognize a stroke, diagnose it and treat the patient within three hours, which is not easy, of course. – 1 – Recognize a stroke: There are 4 steps you should take to detect a stroke: – Ask the person to smile (she won’t make it) – Ask the person to speak a very simple sentence (for example: “It’s very s chön” – Ask the person to raise both arms (she won’t be able to do it or only in part) – Ask the person to stretch out their tongue (if the tongue is bent, it winds from one side to the other, it’s also a sign of a stroke) If he or she has problems with one of these steps, call the emergency doctor immediately and describe the symptoms of the person on the phone. A cardiologist said that if you send this mail to at least 10 people, you can be sure that Irge We send so much “waste” through the area every day, because we can clog the lines sometimes with something meaningful, don’t you think? Do I have from a neighboring forum and find it very important to address something like that. MfG Heiko

Hello, I have a luxury problem and I look for the advice of people who know about the vehicle. I came across a 600SL rather by chance. Here are the dates: 1997, model 1998 2 previous owners 228,000 km, long distance, about 35,000 km per year in the first years White inside black, unusual with fabric covers Xenon, 8-wheeled The vehicle is well maintained, all documents are detectable, before about 3,000 km the transmission was replaced, usual customer service takes care of defects — obviously The underbody cladding is slightly smeared, on the ground a small oil stain. The owner thinks that this must be done. I would see that as well. In the previous 2nd TÜV reports the oil loss is already listed. So it is not a recent thing. According to TÜV, a jet plate was rusted through. I don’t know if it is made. Now my question: Can you buy such a visually very beautiful car, although mi t 16,000 euros not too cheap, or there are good alternatives from the expert’s point of view. Are 228,000 km just too much? No leather!? Generally I find the 12-cylinder incredibly appealing. I don’t want to race with it, just enjoy a few beautiful summer days. Sure, a 320 would do it too, but he doesn’t touch me. Would be nice, I would get some information. Thanks

Hi, http://home.mobile.de/…/searchresults.html?… New cars are offered here at low prices. A Gallardo for 55000, a Corvette for 19000 and a Z8 for 40000 euros. And many other brands very cheap. I can’t believe that. Has anyone ever bought a car there? What experiences have iohr made? Greeting Kurt

Hello SL-lover, I’ve fulfilled a dream with my 55 years in Sept. and bought a SL 500 (10/05). This car is equipped with Carlsson rims 20 inches. 20 years ago I would have said: “SUPER, SUPER TOL !!” Today I say: “All so protzig (deep rim bed) is nothing more for me. “I don’t want to make any money when selling these wheels. Must be so much that I can buy new wheels from the proceeds. Exchange is also possible! 255/285-er I want to drive. 18 max. 19 Zo ll AMG Felge Styling 3 ! The aluminums are NOT NEW, a beauty cure would have been necessary in my opinion (polishing up ). A rim has `ne small Macke. The tires are NEW: DOT 09 / mileage max. 1000 km (repeatable). Carlsson CR 1/16 Forged Ultra Light 20 inch (are expensive as bag) with distance discs front and a tire Conti Spoco 3 screws, rim lock etc. of course everything included. 9,5×20 ET45 with 255/30ZR20 front and rear 11×20 ET35 305/25ZR20

Hello I am currently looking for a nice SL. Now I found one in the inet where a glass sliding roof is installed on the normal hardtop (no panoramic glass roof). Was there such a thing from Mercedes? Thank you

Hello, I have been the proud owner of an original SLK 23 AMG for a week. (Bj. 1997, original 23000 km – how new!!!) Unfortunately, I can’t find this car in an AMG list. The basis is the SLK 230 compressor, which was brought by various changes to 220hp. Furthermore, he has a complete AMG styling package, AMG lowering, AMG silencer and 3 AMG 10 and 9 X 18 wheels with 225 and 255 tyres. Can anyone tell me anything more about this equipment?!?! Greetings from Lake Constance FranK

Luckily until now I have been spared by larger reperatures, however, it caught me a week ago. Ignition lock defective. Cost point approx. 800 euros. The workshop is not a branch but a contract dealer. I think it would have to be particularly stimulating to “stand out”! I expect a sucked and washed car (should it be normal in the meantime or?). Admittedly, I am already a little dissatisfied. Announced calls for diagnosis did not take place. On my part, the information that the car will stay there for at least a week was only given on several calls. Now you wait for a programming key and the ignition lock. Let’s assume, however, that the diagnosis was wrong. However, the parts are already installed and still nothing is going on. In this case, I would have to pay for this too? Purely from the logic I don’t know why I should do this because I give the car into professional hands, then expect the correct error diagnosis.

With all justified criticism of the popular SL, a daytime running light,a la Audi with its Cristbaum lighting has been spared to him and us. What has reduced the risk of accident in S because of longer darkness, was not accident-lowering in A, therefore it is abolished there again. In D, where much new is embattled with enthusiasm, the police increasingly fix one-eyed and defective rear lights. mfg ortler

Good day, I’m looking for an affordable tuner that offers a kit that can bring the 500Ps SL55 to more power. I’m thinking of an increase in performance of around 80 to 100 hp. I don’t want to make any changes to the drivetrain. I would like to ask a few questions: 1. Does the increase in performance work with a pure chip tuning that the “Wastegate” will open later or does another loader wheel have to be installed? 2. Is there a loader wheel for the 55 compressor motor in the trade? 3. Does the control unit have to be adapted absolutely necessary? Or does this automatically adjust in this area via Lamda 1? Thank you Andreas

Hello guys, I am more or less happy last Friday owner of an SL 500, year 92. The car itself is really class only unfortunately the second previous owner had a conversion of MAE done, so visually really horny, Sound is also class, but what totally bothers me is the chassis. I am used to it. that it is a bit tighter and also that the car is lower. But the “heroes” have somehow jammed down the ADS chassis but no idea how and where and have MAE springs installed. Now the chassis is practically full and is really Bocklehart and it springs zero. On the highway you dare not drive faster than 140 because if you drive in a floor shaft you think you pick up immediately. Unfortunately, my information is somewhat bulky I know. but maybe you have some idea or idea how to reactivate it or expand it if necessary and I build up normal springs and normal shock absorbers, which would be my personal favorite, because it doesn’t go permanently into money and because I have read it often or have broken down on many occasions.
