I just added a bunch of other stuff to the list guys. If you see anything out there that is not on the list just let me know so I can add it. Some of the threads are from the E55 section, however our motors are the same so all of the threads are usefull.

Very good idea
This is a very good idea
since there’s so many issues with these cars not even MB mechanics know how to fix (or determine the fault) so as everybody know; information is power! and we SL owners certainly have to stick together.
I know cal1 is lobbying for a section only for DIY here at the forum but I’m not sure of status?
