[R129 SL] R129LIST Digest, Vol 49, Issue 19

[RLinsdell at aol.com]

Hello all, Tom Lindsay who is asking for information on the sunvisor  
availability and the answer supplied by Bob Jones who supplied the part number  leads 
me to a further question. I recently needed to buy the rubber gator that  
sits at the bottom of the radio antenna and a follower for the external offside  
mirror to allow the electric motor to adjust the mirror and my attempts to  
source part numbers and descriptions was very hard until I found the friendly  
Chris Righton of MB Spares in Canberra. With that hurdle safely overcome, he  
also told me MB used to sell a CD for Spare parts but it is not  available at 
present - if anyone has a copy and can send me it - or tell me  where I can 
find a copy for a 1990 500SL I would appreciate it. Some of the  interior parts 
on my car are looking tired and I would like to replace them  (including the 
sun visor mirror coincidentally :-)).
 
Robert of Sydney Australia.

I own a 1991 low miles 500SL and have  a  need for a passenger sunvisor. The 
mirror cover is broken on the  inside hinge  point and MB has advised I must 
purchase the whole  visor. Any suggestions would  be appreciated. Thank you, 
Tom

Hello All,
I want to thank all of  you who responded to my question this morning 
regarding the gravelly / rattle  sound of my SL320 transmisison.  I will have to 
check tohe possiblility  of motor, transmission mount problems as well as the 
possible bussings in teh  shifter linkage.  The car does run through the gears 
fine - no problems  there.  Also, I did not mention that the previous owner did 
leave   some records with the car, one showing a transmission fluid and filter 
change  in May of 2006 with 20,847 miles - the car now has approx. 28,500 
miles so it  does not have that many miles on the fluid. One person (Fred) 
mentioned having  a similar problem on his ML that resulted in a need to replace the  
transmission, I hope that is not the case but still need to find out what the 
 problem is... Again, thank you all for your input.  When I find out what  is 
causing the problem I will report back to you. Any further ideas you may  
have will be appreciated.  The sound is not deep, just gravelly /  rattl
ey.
Regards,
Jody
