500sl brake issue?
We just purchased a '99 500SL. The car runs fine and stops well. However, when you first apply brake pressure you have to press the pedal fairly hard to get the pedal to move. Once it starts moving it works fine with normal resistance. There is no pulling or other problems. Is this typical for the car or do I have an issue to address?
No joy on the SL forum Pete

I've had a situation in a late model 140chassis car where there was abnormal resistance to the first bit of movement of the brake pedal. Not where it was very difficult to press but there was more resistance at the first bit of travel than normal. There were no fault codes or warning lamps. Turned out that the cable that controls the park interlock was out of adjustment. Funny thing is that the interlock worked, the brake pedal just didn't feel right. The adjustment is near the brake pedal but its been too long to give an accurate description as how to adjust it. Maybe someone else can help with that procedure.
