Hi there, just realised I never checked in. I recently purchased a R230 SL500 2003 model year . The car has not been used very much since 2016 and requires some TLC. To be fair I was not on the ball at all during the purchase . I had just come out of hospital and needed an auto. Having said that I was definitely misled and lied to. But hey ho.
I come from a Porsche background and currently still have a 2000 996 Looking forward to enjoying my new purchase, driving as well as fettling and will probably asking many many questions I'm based near Aberaeron in West Wales having move up from Cornwall 7 years ago
Hello All, I am Ryan, and currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was gifted a 2000 ML320 from my grandfather a little over a year ago. I have been using this forum to help troubleshoot some if the issues the car has had and fix it little by little. Love the car so far, and is great to keep it in the family as it holds sentimental value being my late grandmother's car.

Thanks a lot! Fine condition is right! Lol. My wife thought it was a 2013 or 14 model. She nearly gasped when told her it was 20 years old. But she's an amazing wife and backed my decision 100%.

Old fart here just bought his first (new to me) 2012 W212 E350, and after a lifetime of domestics... I finally get one, and I finally get it. Wow.
It's used, it's got 163k on the odo, but it still pulls like a freight train with a full head of steam. Oh my!
I'm currently taking night classes to understand all of the controls but I'm sure that the NASA trained teachers aid will help me with the phone as soon as i master the radio. That being said, I simply cannot say enough good things about this lovely car. Yes I'm still in my honeymoon phase, I'm sure my first repair bill will have me threatening the car with divorce papers. But right now I'm in love. Thank you all. Have a great day!
Side note to the MB engineers. Great job. Except for one thing. You put the cruise control right where you shouldn't have. I hate you. For the fourth time I tried turning left only to activate cruise and have such massive deceleration I nearly sharted myself. Once for the massive collision I thought I was in, and twice for massive repair bill I thought I was going to receive.
Really? REALLY??? Of all the places.. You pick there.
Just know you are NOT invited to the cook out.
Sincerely Mercwithasmirk.
Not sure how active this board is? I have just purchased my first Mercedes! I bought a 1986 190D for 1500$ from a good friend to help thin out his heard. Its fairly rough currently, leaks a bit of diesel from the injection pump delivery valves, the wiper and blower motors do not work, the brake lights do not work etc.
I will be putting some time into it the next few weeks as I purchased it to be my primary daily driver.
my other vehicles are
2006 Chevy Duramax LBZ
1985 Toyota 4runner 4x4
2007 Suzuki DRZ400

Nice man, welcome! Love the old Mercs! Should be a great ride!
My first Mercedes, need some maintenance work like brakes , tpms sensors, secondary air injection pump, just to turn off what lights are on the dash. Love the car just hope this was a good purchase, very little info on the web for this car. So any help is appreciated
New here but I always liked working on MB. I do have an issue with my 2014 E350. I am trying to install the Emblem Star but everything I have researched points to using the fuse box as the hot wire connection point. I don't want to go this route and rather use a wire tap so the star comes on when the low beams come on. If anyone can point me to the correct thread, I'd be happy.
