Hi. Just bought a 2004 SL R230 and put fuel in it for the first time and I think I got the dreaded fuel tank baffle problem. I believe there is a solution rather than removing the fuel tank? Any thoughts please?

There's a guy in Coventry who has a quick cheap( £300) fix.
I'll post details later when I can find them.

Took my car over from N.I to get it done.
Did a great job.
I have no ties , financial or otherwise to him.

Edited.....found the details. The chaps name is Raj.
Seems to be a bit of an SL nut too.
When I had my SL55 there it really was the poor relation!!
Couple of SL65's, SL 600 and 2 Kleman specials there.

"If you or anyone else needs this done then try contacting 07851 949327 this guy specializes in SL r230 and sorted mine out a few years ago along with a number of many of the other r230 pains. He is in Coventry I was 120 mile away but well worth traveling the distance."

Hope this helps. Baffle rattle would drive you crazy.
