MERCEDES R107 SL BRAKE CHECK
The R107 typically weighs 1610kg (3539 lbs). The price paid for a sturdy and almost indestructible Panzerwagen. This weight combined with the torque of the V8 variants and the nimbler characteristics of the six-cylinder variants, means your brakes need to be sharp, responsive and composed of high-quality components.
”No better place to take your SL. Incomparable level of service, knowledge and understanding on R107s and well worth my 100 mile round trip to get my car seen by the experts. And special thanks to Mark for his specific support and communication on my car.”
Adam Nethersole
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A BRAKE CHECK?
Central to enjoyment and safety is a braking system that performs as good as new. Our team understand exactly what to look for, saving you time in labour and parts costs. A brake check will ensure that your R107 operates economically, with longevity and in to a standard that allows you to use your vehicle daily and even out-perform some modern day vehicles.
WHAT DOES THE BRAKE HEALTH CHECK INVOLVE?
Our team test your brakes in real-world conditions to investigate common issues, such as brake travel, pulling, squaking or weak functioning. They will then inspect individual components, focusing on obvious elements such as discs and pads, before checking caliper movement, ABS sensors and lines and fluid condition.
Once brake functioning has been assessed, we will outline what (if any) components need replacing throughout the braking system of your vehicle.
