[R129 SL] Brake parts ordered, etc.

[Jan Kuylaars]

Rick, you did order original MB parts?

I had mine changed by my mechanic 3 years ago, during a maintenance ,
and had a lot of trouble afterwards.
At last I decided to buy all new original and do it myself. 2 ours of
labor.

THE DIFFERENCE WAS AMAZING !!! ENCREDUBLE.

After that no problems with loose pens or drifting brake pads or worse
braking .
The cars brakes like new, so never buy not original MB brake spare parts
!!!!!!

Jan.

Hello Folks,
   Today I ordered new brake rotors, pads and wear
sensors for my '98 SL500.  Based upon advice from a list-member, I plan
to change the brakes on my car as soon as the parts arrive.  The local
M-B dealer wants $440 labor plus full M-B retail for all the parts.  I
chose to spend some quality time in the garage instead.
   Off topic question and comments but; Do you folks
have other hobby cars?  I am restoring a '70 MGB
Tourer and save sunny weekend days for a '79 Ferrari
308GTB.  I work as a physicist here in Houston.  I'm
also an amateur radio operator, although presently
inactive.  Thought it only fair to introduce myself.

Regards,

Rick
