Maintenance & Parts


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I live in Abu Dhabi and have recently acquired an old 1991 500 SL from someone who was leaving the country.

Luckily, the car's engine, suspension and gearbox are all in good shape. I have also managed to fix the A/C and it drives very well.

However, I have a few questions:

What kind of oil should I use in this car and how frequently do I need to change it? Should I also change the spark plugs, oil filter, fuel pump and timing belt straight away?

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic (preferably in Abu Dhabi) who could take care of the car on a regular basis?

I need some parts for the interior and eventually need also to fix the electric soft top so that I don't have to operate it manually with the 'magic' spanner! Can anyone recommend where I can get parts for a 21 year old car, especially bits and bobs to do with the interior trim etc. e.g. new vents for the a/c, a new console, new wood trim and so forth.....

Many thanks in advance!
