Replacing lamp-anybody?
I've just bought an 89 500SL which needs the front indicator bulb changing, but can't see how I access it. Do I have to remove the whole front headlamp assembly? Many thanks.

380SL idles high
1983 380SL IDles high, real high. Have tried several things from fuses to idle modules. But from reading the ignition swithch easy install kit, it seems the problem may be in the switch. When inspecting that area i discovered a wire spliced into the harness at the steering wheel. Placed a prob in line and it lights when starting the car. Also the heater blower motor is not functioning and the right side lights on high beam are out as well. I have no dash lights and the tach is not working.

560SL squeeling noise
I have a 1986 sl. When I start quickly from a stop, I get a loud squeeling noise coming from underneath the car. If I start out slowly I don't hear it. I also get it when I accerlerate to pass someone. I thought it was a fanbelt problem, but it isn't. It's been going on for years and does not affect the performance of the car

1976 450SL starting problem
Only happens immediately after turning fully-heated motor off. I try to start the motor again and get a clicking noise somewhere under the hood. Not sure if it is at the starter or the battery cable connector junction on the passenger-side fender well.

79 450 SL - Front end wandering
Car new to me, suspect car was in accident at some point.
When driving 50-70mph on well worn freeways with deep "trucker tracks" the car wants to climb, or will make sudden directional changes. On normal roadways the car tracks perfectly stright and handles high speed curves with grace!
When breaking the car breaks normally.
Installed new front wheel bearings, no change.
What items need to be checked? Tech info sugests sub-frame busing kit?
Thanks
