Ok so I was looking for a new car having swapped my SLK 320 for a 4 dr BMW 5 series (work comittment) 3 yrs ago another change in jobs ment I could buy what I wanted again.
Having raced a Ferrari 460 and an Audi R8 Saturday morning I then saw a 12/2003 Merc SL 55 AMG sitting in a forecourt of a local dealer and bought it
I have to say the SLK was quick with the v6 engine but WOW the SL55 V8 is SOOOOOO fast I was a bit hasty and didnt check everything out till later and I need some help on the following please;
1. I need a spare key, it has one but I need to get a spare one, did we ever find out if the ones from Ebay worked?
2. The headlights are Xenon but the side lights and fogs aren't which looks silly, how easy is it to do this?
3. Sat Nav disk is 2003/4 can you just pop a new one straight in?
4. The phone conection isn't enabled, can this be done or should I just get a bluetooth kit?
5. TV isnt enabled either, can this done now and can it be made to say on when moving?
6. Not going to 'chip' this car as it is powerful enough but would like to remove the restrictor, off to Germany soon
7. The only fault I can see with the vehicle is yesterday in traffic it felt like the handbrake was on, when rolling forward the car stopped and wouldnt free wheel but it is ok now, any ideas ?
