Been lusting after this. Its only a few miles from my house and it looks so classy 1980s - it shouts Ah-Ha, Duran Duran and white Stelletos! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-MERCEDES-500SL-32-AUTO-SILVER-/161806001921?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276Anyway, the seller is saying that the choke is stuck on and hence it cannot be driven far. It seems good value at £3k. Everyone knows there is no choke on these - but what is it likely to be? Is it the idle control valve? How much and how hard to repair? Anything in particular to look out for on these? Cheers Rav |

seems decent - lil high milage mut never the less its very nice - if i wasnt loking for a r107 i would have bought that one!!!
Well, the engine loom is a known problem. That can make idle high and erratic.
Other issues - throttle body wiring, spark plugs/wires/distributor.
Theres a "coffin box" of electronics on the NS and OS wings under the bonnet. They have some fuses that can affect fueling.
If you need more infor, give me a shout! Hope you get it - very nice and sexy.

I'm a bit late to the party on this but doesn't the rear look like the SLS has failed?
Or do these have the adjuster like the W124 estates have where you can lower it?
My R129 has those wheels on and doesn't sit anything like that low.
