[R129 SL] schematic request

[Jan Kuylaars]

It is only necessary for the old plastic white black and red ones if they
are older then 10 years.
You can see that the connection part in the holder gives a mark at the end
of the fuse.
Turning the fuse a few times around will loose the problem for some months,
but replace is the best.
The costs  are minimal and the profit is great.
Changing for better fuse is very difficult, you must change the complete
fuse box and that is not necessary.
So the best thing to do is buy from every value 10 pieces and start to
replace
in the trunk , the motor compartment every fuse single by single for the new
ones.
Then you are ready for the next 10 years.

Are there better fuses available?  IOW, are you suggesting that we
swap out our plastic/lead fuses for something better than stock, or
our you saying that our old cars simply need the old fuses replaced
often?

Also, my owner's manual was recently stolen.  Can I order a "complete
fuses" replacement "kit" or just go to MB dealer and say, "Gimme 10/
each of the whites, reds and blacks"...?

Thanks,

Paul
