1992 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Idles too fast
If your engine is idling to fast there is a chance you may have a vacuum leak some place so I would start out by looking for a vacuum leak. The best and fastest way to check for vacuum leaks is to buy a can of break cleaner and spray all of your vacuum lines while the car is running. If you have a vacuum leak and the spray hits it the car will either idle down or idle even higher. Either way you will know you have found the problem. Another thing that you want to check is the vehicles throttle positioning sensor. This sensor controls your cars idle and if it is bad it will cause a fast, slow, or rough idle. I hope this helps you out.

Need to tighten rear view mirror of 1997 Mercedes
OK what I put here is for the E class Mercedes of the same era. Generally Mercedes shares build concepts and ideas across different classes of car.
The mirror assembly consists of a mirror frame socket fitted to ball on the end of a mount arm.
If the mount on the SL is the same then the idea is to stop the mirror from moving freely on the ball. It should be possible to slip the end of a clothing pin(s) between the ball, which is steel, and the socket, which is plastic. Force it gently in and check for the degree of play in the mirror. Once the mirror is stiff clip the protruding remaining length of pin(s) away to keep things looking tidy. Crude, effective but, above all, much cheaper than $900
