The flasher relay for a 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is typically located under the dashboard, near the steering column. To access it, you may need to remove the lower dashboard cover. The relay is usually a small cylindrical or rectangular component that can be identified by its connections and the clicking sound it makes when the turn signals are activated. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise location and identification.
Are you talking about removing the hard top or removing the soft top from the car?If the hard top that is simply a case of using the red button to the left of the gear lever to release it (the same button that raises and lowers the soft top) and then with the help of someone else lifting it clear.If it is the soft top then there is an excellent video run through here -http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r129-sl-class/1328118-r129-disassembly-videos.html#post3194559
To replace the trunk lid springs on a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, first, ensure the trunk is supported to prevent it from closing suddenly. Remove the old springs by detaching them from their mounting points, which may require a screwdriver or wrench. Install the new springs by securing them in the same positions as the old ones, ensuring they are properly aligned and tensioned. Finally, test the trunk lid's operation to ensure the springs are functioning correctly.
To adjust the power steering belt on your 1984 Mercedes 280SL, first, locate the power steering pump and the belt tensioner. Loosen the bolts securing the power steering pump bracket, then adjust the pump to increase tension on the belt. Ensure the belt has about 1/2 inch of play when pressed in the middle, then tighten the bolts back to secure the pump in place. Finally, check that the belt is aligned properly and secure before starting the engine.
