I did think the same but then it got me thinking, given this engine is used in various models with varying design intents, would the sump profiles be different, can't imagine many SL's in the mountains.
Morning all
Maybe an unusual question for the group. I've recently moved house and my drive is on an incline. This got me thinking about my R230 5.5 which sits on the drive, how steep can the car be parked before I risk the engine being starved of oil ? Given the weather is cold here in the UK...
Hi there and apologies if this should have been posted in a different section...
Anyone had any experiance and success or failure with an Android or Apple Carplay upgrade ? There is such a price range from less than £200 to £1000 ! It's a weekend car, not a daily driver, so I'd like to do it...
Hi again
My FM reception seems to have gone pretty poor, every merc I've had with the 2005-2010 era audio system the FM radio has been really good, loads of lovely radio stations. I'm sure this R230 was great too when I bought it a few years ago but it seems pretty poor now, I get stations but...
Hi all
Curious if anyone knows what must be a simple answer to this... I hope
Despite my keys having new Duracell batteries, the cars display tells me to change my batteries ? Still opens and starts keyless as it should, just the warning.
Any suggestions ??

My service spanners are overdue, I've done the DIY service twice but with the low mileage the car does the service warning has come on. Fine, I bought an icarsoft V3.0 thinking it would be a useful tool to have, using that fails due to a comms error. Is there a manual way to reset the service...
It's a shame these days when you can't see the MOT being done or they show you if your inetrested in what they find. I find it odd that both side are identified this time and never before. I'll have a jack up on Saturday and see what I can find
Hello Folks !
Just had by Sl500 R230 MOT'd and I've had advisories for bushes Front Offside/Nearside Lower Arms. I know thats a bit vauge given the amount of suspension arms on these BUT is there a "go to" common failure one and is it a DIY job ? I'm hoping it is, I nead a Tavarsih "Wrench...
Ignore me ! The only thing that needed resetting was my brain. I locked the car and cycled the start stop via the key and not the keyless and now we're back to normal, no warnings and a healthy 14.2volts :¬)
Just goes to show how jumping to conclusions can lead us down the wrong path
HI there
Just changed the Aux 1 battery on my R230 as it was a bit sluggish starting. Now it starts much better but I've got the Red Warning light of doom but also the alternator is now only giving out 12.5 volts. It was fine so I assume there is a typically Merc bit of sophistication that...
