Well it sounds like you take really good care of your car. I drive the heck out of mine, it has 127k on it now, but that one is a 96SL320. Have you had any other trouble with your instrument cluster? those are another known problem. If you didn't use a power bleeder your Master Cylinder should be ok. Check out our website at my signature, click on tech stuff, then engine technical, there is a whole bunch of information on the 129 chasis and the engine controls. If you don't find what you need there let me know and I will get it from Startek. Read up on it and you can diagnose it yourself. If you are using an independant mechanic who doesn't have the specific scanner to go into the connector under the hood, he won't know exactly what is wrong either. Sometimes when I get stumped I take it to Park Place, they tell me what is wrong and then I go home and do the repair, there has never been a time they were wrong. Good luck!
Best Regards,
Brian
