Hello, now it has caught me abroad. At a gas station an Italian drove me into the right. Rear wheel, in the horizontal shifted by 2 cm, well will not be much. Think, tow and renew everything there is to be renewed about aspiration (shock, fall, train), handlebars, wheel carrier, rim and whatever there must be. Duration 1 week incl. spare part procurement, Monday I should be able to drive again to Austria. Cost, well, they know at Mercedes in Riva already, if m Lt. ital. police, gas stations tenants and of course accident opponents are my fault, because I allegedly should not have entered the TS. It was a guideline and not a single entrance forbidden sign and the Italian clearly drove me in. Nevertheless, Lake Garda is just beautiful.

Hello dear SL municipality….. normal white I drive a w211 320V6 Cdi and a w124 e 320 c…and I am also highly satisfied with the two….but this week I have to drive the sl65 of a friend, because this is on vacation…..and…..I’ve lost the language..when the car on Monday I won’t get away from it anymore…..es is a monster 🙂 he was converted to black series look + interior equipment and the engine power was blown up to 740 hp..the v12 is the wa hnsinn….the whole car is addictive….have already bammel to leave the car again on Sunday…don’t know how to bring it over the heart 🙁 so car driving has never been fun for me….but unfortunately I didn’t get the 230000 € for the 65 he did, also not the 35000 for the conversion + motor tuning 🙁 I now board up and down the a8 again..if only net overdo it….the car has 4778 km now…with 3910 I picked him up…. shit..will unfortunately always remain a dream…

Hello, I’d like to get a Sl. But I’m not happy. I only tested the 350 without ActiveBodycontrol. Should it be a 500? Does someone know the difference in driving operation, is ABC necessary? Is it worth the 20000 Teuro difference in the price to drive a 500. I like to drive quickly and had the impression of the 350 is not quite the true or just deceives that. Fits to brilliant silver the panorama roof that is black after all. Maybe someone knows besc heid Thank you very much

Hello dear SL driver, with my 500 SL (EZ 5/93, 129.067) a snoring on the front axle occurs on cold days on the right, for which the friendly of MB blames the carrying joint – the rare phenomenon of a proper diagnosis. The hacking at the thing: while such a joint usually costs about 20-40 EUR, here must be re-enacted the complete cross handlebar (best on both sides), which is about with 1200 eurons to be charged. Is that really true ? I ha I would often feel that I would have to fill the empty workshop yard of my friend. The 20 liter consumption is enough already. Greetings Jo

Hello experts! I have to buy a 129er 320SL automatic from 2000. First hand, Full, 120000km, very well maintained third car, checkbook, owner so about 70 years. I don’t worry about the engine, I already have a number smaller in the C-Class than 240. Is the engine too lame for the car? With the automatic I don’t know so well, it should be the electronic five-speed inside I think, you have to pay attention there, is the somehow eye-catching? The car has the AMG package m it the AMG rims, what is there with this package, chassis deeper and harder? I think you in advance for your help and wish you a Happy New Year. LGW

Hello together, so the first hurdle is taken, I’m sure that the SL 55 AMG is the right car for me. But where to order? I have two dealers “taken into the flaw”, but more than 5% as new cars and 8% as daily registration do not seem to be in it. On the Internet there are various intermediaries who want to grant a discount of about 18% (as daily registration). I have two questions for this: 1. According to my information, a MB or DC dealer has left on a car 12.9%, like ka nn then someone on a German car grant 18% discount? Well DC gives dealers a bonus on registrations, but that doesn’t really fit together anyway. 2. Does any of you have experience with an intermediary and can recommend it? I already have one in the forum that you should not refer to, because you simply can’t deliver. But probably there will also be serious ones? I am happy about every answer, so first of all thank you. Greetings To rst

Day! Did one of you already have the opportunity to drive the new SLK? In my opinion, it should now also be uncapped as a test vehicle. Probably I will come to the pleasure next weekend! I hope at least! About soon answer I would be happy!

Hello municipality, I am driven by the thought that I want to exchange my SL for an AMG GT or GTs. Purchased at the Mercedes dealer, it should be a used one, best with young stars guarantee. My question to you: Who can give me some tips on what I should urgently pay attention to. – which year of construction – how it stands with the colors, is a matt lacquer very vulnerable – it may also be two previous owners – makes the s variant more fun or suffices the GT – which equipment must in any case – which seats should it be – etc. Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to your answers VG Klaus

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, the joy of driving with my SL is clouded by non-localizable crackling sounds. I probably have the sound for about a year. When changing load cracks and crunches it. At first I thought a disguise is loose, everything checked, nothing better. Roof tested, and lubricated, everything ok guide vario roof went off, everything OK, the screw has not yet been changed. Uberrollbugel causes similar noises at the attacks, but hebli There were three or four emergency triggers because I like to move the vehicle in the border area (serpentines, riviera etc) after tank plate, no change. All mounts in the area and on the SAM etc tested, everything solid video, in which the noise seems much more extreme: https://youtu.be/7p_zg3y8kFw Do we find a fellow sufferer? Greetings and nitter-free ride

Hi, there would have been a question about the charging maintenance of the comfort battery. In the trunk is such a socket with cigarette lighter connection. Can I connect the charger there or does this have to be done in a garage from an external socket? Question because the original charger of Mercedes is just such a cigarette lighter connection. If I plug it in in the car it would charge in the circuit and unload itself again, because the charger is the power to charge from the B atterie takes and gives again. Or do I think wrong there, and this socket is only for refrigerated chests etc.? Kind regards
