    Should I still buy the car and how much would it cost me to fix the roof ?

    The hydraulic fluid on my pump is low and I want to add more hydraulic fluid but the Allen wrench bolt is extremely hard to loosen and get off as it is in there for 24 years now. The car is 1998 MB SLK 230. Is there a proper video for adding hydraulic fluid for the roof pump in the trunk? Thank you.

    You are lucky it is a face lift slk 230 (repeat indicators in the mirror housing, as the Early version has a bigger supercharger and and electric clutch (does not rotate until engine is at 2500 rpm). and the supercharger is a pig to remove.

    Mike was always a bullshitter, that’s what made him successful. Together with Edd, they made the best car show. The move to the States was the nail in the coffin. Selling out to Velocity just finished it off. It was Mikes baby, but he did not need to have more air time than buying then selling.
    It’s return to the UK will not help it survive, the rot set in when Edd left.
