Well, very professional at all point. Owning a 1995 sl320, keeping it in order, clean and geat running need time. It is a passion. Thank you all, and Happy New Year!
Thanks for making this fantastic video on this 500SL great effort. Just a quick question regarding the engine variant. Does this one should be a M117 instead of M119? Many thanks.
Great video, thanks for posting. I'm looking cat purchasing a 1998 SL500 myself. Can the gap between front fender and windscreen sill be slightly uneven? Otherwise the vehicle seems to be sweet.
Love to see all these r129 videos! That SL looks a bit tired to have just 40k miles on the clock... Poor care and maintenance can result in a very expensive receipt
Even in bad health the M119 still makes one of the most intimidating sounds on the road! And yes, i'm a sucker for nice original colours with myself owning a 348 Pearlblau W124.
very nice car with some TLC it will be showroom condition quickly, I just found your channel and it motivated me to ship my grandfathers 300SL24V and fix it up.
Your attention to details is highly admirable, the color of this car is absolutely beautiful, is the steering wheel original because I noticed that it does not have an airbag
Fantastic video H&L Team. I’m enjoying learning about these cars. Out of interest, will this Pine Green example be up for sale once restored? Thank you, and keep up the videos!
Hi, my name is mario-from Corsica - france - and i have 500 sl .......and somes issue after remplacement sensor pedal- now i have ARS ABS SRS on dashboard light up - how CAN i fix it this? thx for any answer
I have almost the same problem since many years. It runs perfect when its cold, then the idle starta getting bad, the engine wants to die if i dont give it gas, and then it runs REALLY bad, not on all cylinders etc. and when it dies it wont start at all untill the engine is cold again. Do you know what that could be??
In my opinion, this is condensation on the distributor cap. Look at the oil seal of the camshaft behind the distributor rotor. Oil or water vapour could be escaping here and condensing on the distributor cap. Replacing the oil seal would then help.
@@jensegler7102 I have changed them and the rotors, inside and out, yes it helped for a while, but it was soon again the same, and yes i changed the rubber rings as well.

Excellent presentation. Look forward to the progress once you complete the restoration.
Happy New year

Very common in Malaysia for tempered odometer

Nothing beats the V8 rumble, except maybe the V12 roar. :)
The W124 looks lovely in Perlblau 348, definitely turns heads.
Nice channel well done 👏

The 300SL-24 is a wonderful car to do up. Have patience and enjoy the journey. Find a R129 community where you are, they would be of tremendous help.

Thanks! The steering wheel is original and period correct. This car did not come with air bags.

thx for any answer
I recently purchased a 1993 500 SL , any tips would be appreciated
Watch out for wiring harness issues. Fortunately there are specialists who can rebuild these harnesses.
This channel is awesome! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you for your support! 😊
Do the car was parked long? It seems a little hard to start
Should not revving the engine before it reach the safe operation temperature. Nice color
Wunderbarr
My drive door pocket is broken and it drives me crazy, seems very hard to replace it black
There are remanufactured door pocket hinges that are now available
@@HLClassics where would one purchase them ?
I have almost the same problem since many years.
It runs perfect when its cold, then the idle starta getting bad, the engine wants to die if i dont give it gas, and then it runs REALLY bad, not on all cylinders etc. and when it dies it wont start at all untill the engine is cold again.
Do you know what that could be??
Could be the CIS-E control module that governs the idle control valve.
@@HLClassics Thank you for your reply, I'll see what that is.

@@SirPierreSe Ok. I have the same problem, so I am also glad for further hints what could be the issue...
Wire harness and bosch fuel pump the control injection module the disk that moderates pressure would be my thoughts
Turns out to be none of those. Starter and idle valve control module.
Oh wow really always keep the bosch fuel control in mind tho wow
Oil pressure !!!!
I hope you didn’t pay much for it.
We don't own the car
