I understand that, I was just slightly shocked as I'm only the third owner of my 20 year old Audi:)

Ah okay thanks, hopefully he'll come back to me, if I haven't offended him too much :(, I was a little shocked at the number of previous keepers, I think I was the 5th or 6th keeper of my previous SL350 and I've never owned a vehicle with double digit keepers before.:)

@s5tuart is the car at Allon White yours? if so message me please, the initial response I got from Phil at Allon White regarding the number of keepers, as you'll see from my comment, put me off somewhat. But if it's your car and your able to message me your number so we can have a chat and you...

I enquired about this one, - Mercedes SL350 | Allon White Sports Cars - I love the colour combination and the mileage is low, unfortunately the number of keepers isn't, with 10 previous keepers, and the service history provided via a spreadsheet didn't fill me with confidence and the MOT history...

I've just enquired about that very car, 10 previous keepers and the service history isn't the best, although the last owner spent the most money on it by the looks of it. I love the colour combination, I know that makes me a strange person, but high number of owners together with the service...

So it's been a while since I parted company with my previous 03 R230 SL350 but I'm looking at going back to one, I know there are bigger engined versions out there but the 350 does everything I want it to avoiding the complictions of the ABC suspension on the V8 models. I've seen this car...

So it would appear to be simply the frequency with which I use the car, thanks for that. :)

So having owned my ageing R230 SL350 for 2 1/2 years now I'm thinking it's about time I bought myself a diagnostic tool. So is this the correct one for my year and model please, if not could somebody please kindly post a link to the correct one, thank you.:)...

Up until a few months ago whenever I went to my car and it unlocked, keyless go, there would be a buzzing/whirring noise from under the bonnet. I presumed this was the SBC priming itself and from reading a quote by Alastair in another thread this would appear to have been correct? "When you turn...

I've just sat and read this thread, out of curiosity should the same fate befall my car, and crikey what a saga you've been through all over them keeping an old VIN on file! Glad you eventually got it sorted and I don't blame you for never wanting to go back to them. :)

Personally I really like the look of that and love the colour combination.

Ok so I may regret this but I'm looking at doing both top and bottom ball joints and the camber arm bushes myself, I do get a sense of self satisfaction when I do. If push comes to shove I can leave my car on axle stands and take the control arms to a friends small engineering company to get...

I can understand a 10 ton press for the camber arm bushes, if needs be I can get a friend to do those, just looking at doing the ball joints, was I right in thinking the top one is an unbolt and bolt in affair?

Is this suitable for an R230 or has anybody bought such a tool that they could recommend, there don't appear to be many branded ones such as Draper on fleabay and I don't wish to waste money buying one that's likely to snap ?:)...

Apologies for the late reply, work and more pressing issues with my bike took my attention away from trying to sort my car out, Alastair you were correct with the parts diagram, 90 is apparently the camber control arm. I've just emailed Prestige Car Repairs to see why they're quoting me for...

I have used Alex Crowe once and he did a very good job but Prestige Car Repairs who I've used for years and specialise in Mercedes re just down the road from me so I tend to go there. I just need to know if it's something I should be able to do or if it's best left alone, I don't mind putting in...

I should be able to get access to a press when and if the lock down is over, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, the part I'm told is a front camber arm rather than a control arm? Alistair I see that bush at the front goes to number 90 in the part diagram but are you looking at...

It's been a while since I've been on here but I would appreciate the advice of the knowledgeable members on this forum. I'm told that I need new front camber bushes but in order to do this I have to replace the complete arm as the bushes are not available separately. Is this true, replacement...

Even though I don't have the tools or skills to do such a job I loved it, nor am I usually a diesel fan, the only give away was a bigger bore exit on the exhaust. I was surprised not only to see it had a manual gearbox but also how well the manual box shifted, although I wasn't in the car so it...

I went to a rolling 1/2 mile event run by Terminal Velocity today, it's the first time I'd heard of them or this type of event, it's fair to say the weather clearly put a lot of people off. Upon arrival I noticed a clean grey 1990 W124 parked at the side of the runway. Nice and tidy but...
