Awesome video, I’m a new owner of a 1990 500sl in the same artic white and sato grey , only difference is I have a grey interior . I’ve been watching g all your videos to bring my car back to life. Sat for a long time.. I’ve changed a lot of small items and it’s up to 85% running … still suffering from a likely a bad injector(s) … but even then that repair will lead me to the next … thanks Val! You’ve been a great help
I’m glad I could help! I hope your 500SL comes back to life - you’re there in many ways already. Keep up the hard work. It’s well worth it. Keep me updated on your journey.
Very good Val - you continue to educate me on my R129. I thought I knew everything but you remind me that there’s still more to learn! Thank you my friend🙏
@markbaker6029 With time, we're all learning more and more, especially as these cars age and we're dealing with older car issues. This series tries to raise awareness. Much appreciate all your support.
Very help full content Val! Especially about the plastic mirror covers you mention. Bought BRAND NEW covers from mbz installed opened 1 time and it broke and it was band new. The hinges on those mirror covers are terrible. Also, your mention of the odo gears good to know. All the plastic gears in my head rest broke...so ya all the plastic is suspect in these vintage mbz's. Thanks Val.
I hear you. The plastic in these cars can be fragile - thankfully, the rest of the car is built like a tank! Always appreciate your comments and feedback - thank you.
