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?
