Replying to: stanleysteamer (Nov 09, 2008 3:54 pm) Sir, can you tell me where you found your reproduction manual for your 81 380SL? I have a 82 380SL at least thats what a independent dealer told it was although it has a 560SL badge on it. ( yes it's a gray market car) A lot of the manuals I've seen have been for the sedans. However some of the part that I have replaced seem to be interchangable with the US 380SL models. I have the euro headlights and purchased new blubs and would like to know what needs to be removed to install them. I enjoy my MB alot and it looks very nice. ( thats because of the european style) Replies to this message: freshairfiend (Aug 25, 2009 12:37 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 10, 2009 10:06 am) The highway between denver and LA is mountains and desert. I don't speed, I don't exseed the speed limits. (My wife says I drive like Mr. Daisy) I'm at that point in my life where I just like to take my time and cruise. So can we realistic figure between 16/18 mpg on the highway?

Replying to: hscolnss1 (Aug 25, 2009 11:07 am) I have a Euro 280SL and my local Mercedes specialist shop obtained an original owners' manual for me from Mercedes themselves. Incidentally the Euro handbook covers the 500SL and the 380SL as well as the 280SL. Much of the book is common and where the differences are concerned, specialist sections are shown.The cost was around $40.00.

Replying to: hscolnss1 (Aug 25, 2009 11:34 am) 16-18 at high altitude? I kinda doubt it, in that car...you may achieve that on the downward jog from the westward side of the mountains to the coast, as soon as you go below 2500 feet or so. But climbing up and over---I'm dubious.
