Scared all together My concern is the following. I want to get a R129 preferably a 320 or 280 Vor Mopf or Ggf. Mopf 1 My question is the 280 undermotorized? Because I want to cruise and use the vehicle only for Sundays and if then relaxed long distance. I know the M119 from my W140 and E50 Amg is a super engine but then still too thirsty for me.

Hello dear friends of the sheet metal, I have got myself a nice R 107, 380, 1985 year, red, gilded and the tires 205 70 R 14 on baroque rims have come into the years. Not Rissig but just old and harder. Now should be new on it and the question is which !!! Beautiful all weather white wall tires for 420 € for 4 pieces, Galaxy R 1, but are the what ? brand tires for over 200 € the piece, but do I need these for almost 700 km a year ? Cheap summer tires for 63 €/pcs. ( Maxxis), are these her Money worth entrusting his life ? Test reports are not so many for such an oldie tire, only suitable to other sizes. Therefore I have the question to the experienced hares , which Pneu fits to the R 107 ? ? ? Personally I would like to admit the white wall tires, as they are beautiful, fit to the car and are all year round tires ( I know: higher wear/softer rubber), but are these what ? I am happy about your competent opinion aud statements, Your Klaus of Jupiter. Thank you…

Small warning to all who want to configure an R231 MOPF and the fire extinguisher (682): In the price list (and also in the MB configurator) there is the hint: “Fire extinguisher mounted at the front of the driver’s seat”. I know for sure that this is not so! The fire extinguisher is still in the rear compartment with roller blind between the seats where it takes away valuable storage space.

Dear community, since I did not move my SL 350 (2007) for 4 months in winter, I have disconnected both batteries, because of the lack of a socket, and could nevertheless successfully start again in March. My procedure: First of all, make sure that the emergency key (fits in the vehicle key) opens the locked boot lid mechanically! (see also manual) I only did this with the emergency key of the spare key. If it is not possible, you may not Do not close the trunk later! In a collection garage like in my case a problem. Then you need another solution and should not read any more here. If one of the emergency keys works on the boot lid, it goes as follows: 1. Terminal the starter battery in the engine compartment first. 10 key required. First carefully clamp the minus pole, then the plus pole. I have both wrapped each with an old piece of cloth so that it can not come to metal 2. Close the bonnet and doors (not the boot lid) and lock the vehicle by central locking. 3. Now release the consumer battery in the boot and clamp it off. First the minus pole, then the plus pole. Both wrap with a piece of cloth each so that they can’t come to metal. 4. Now you can close the boot lid. (If the emergency key has been tested positively as above) This means that the SL is completely closed and Wint is able to I was worried if the batteries had enough voltage after a good 4 months because I didn’t use any charger. Did they. The spring awakening. 1. Open the boot lid with the emergency key. 2. Connect the consumer battery again. First Plus – then Minus. 3. If you press “Open” on the key, the central locking should work again. With me the the theft siren went on, but after renewed pressure on the key so 4. Now unlock the bonnet and connect the starter battery again. First plus – then minus 5th hood and start the car quite normally. With me a few lights went on and the time was wrong, otherwise there were no problems. Everything worked perfectly. Even the radio stations were still there. The lights went out again after a few meters drive on their own. As I said, so I did it and will do it again next winter. It is just my He But I don’t take any responsibility for other vehicles.

Had already asked the question in another thread, but it probably went down there. So here again: There are also these “tires with emergency running characteristics” (R66): Short description With a tire breakdown, tires with emergency running characteristics do not have to be changed immediately. A further drive is possible without great comfort losses – depending on the load up to 80 km far with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. 416,50 Euro Does anyone have experience with the parts? nd harder than normal tires, which also reduces suspension comfort (but probably doesn’t matter with ABC). Then the rolling resistance is higher, which would mean higher chipping consumption. See also herehttp://www.mercedes-benz.de/…/advantages_tyres.html

Hello, I am in the final phase to decide for one of the two models. Who knows both vehicles and can give me a tip. The SL is driven with us third vehicle and only in nice weather. mileage 5000 KM per year. The 350 would have the 272hp and he 500 SL the 387hp engine. Both are very well equipped. The 350 is black/black of the 500 it is silver/black. KM power: 350 he 37000KM Built. 2007 of the 500 48000KM Built. 2006. Price: The 500 costs 2500 Euro less! A cylinder of eight already has its appeal. Thank you for your constructive opinion. Cabrio 123

In my 500SL EZ 08/92 there is a beautiful radio in it. Sometimes there is great music out there. Sometimes I would really like to help with my iPhone. There is 1 iPod in it. On the radio of my other car is an Aux socket. When I hit my iPhone, my fine music comes out of the speakers. But the Becker Radio doesn’t have that. My son-in-law got me 1 FM transmitter. With that I can transfer some music from the iPhone. But to the One is the sound quality only suboptimal. On the other hand, the transmission is often disturbed during the ride. Now my question to the freaks in this enthralling circle: Is there an electronic trick to pair the old radio with the modern iPhone without going to the substance of the ancient radio? For all the many great advices I would like to thank you very much in advance…

Hello Together, which brake blocks in front are required for the 320 R6 (EZ 95 Bj. think end 94). My car has ETS (according to the on-board computer …. ASR is not displayed there.. so I don’t think it is present). A small triangle is nevertheless attached in the AI – is this part of the ETS? Which block is it now.. like to send links? Thank you for your answers. Gruss Sl_fahrer
