Care tips for mercedes?

[benzboySL500]

I have a 2003 SL500 with 70,000miles on it.

So far I have changed the following:

- Oil filter and oil
- fuel filter and spark plugs
- pulleys and belt

Is there anything else that I need to change on the air to keep its maintenance?

Any other known issues?

Cheers.

You do need to check the roof rubbers on and around the C pillars, check the DIY section for my post.

One tip always carry a spare litre of suspension fluid in the boot, it fits in between the battery and the spare wheel for should you get a leak you can always get home

I'd seriously think

about trans fluid and filter at that mileage, especially if you have the 722.6 box and it hasn't been done yet.

I'm doing ours at every 30,000ish.

ahhh transmission fluid and filter..will check that

what about hydrolic fluid?

Any other known things that need changing?

I know these cars are quite sensitive, so want to maintain it!

No need to change the hydraulic fluid, most 230 spring a leak and you loose it all anyway

It's a well known fact that if you don't post some photos for us to enjoy, the wheels will fall off.......
