So a bit of history. I have a 2006 ML500, earlier 5.0 V8. A long while back the air-conditioning started having issues. It would be fine and then suddenly turn off. I’d Rev the engine in neutral and it would come back. The problem got worse and at the time I had a Mercedes warranty with it...

I’ll give that a go, it’s been proving a pain. My vin is WDC1641752A024612 Many thanks for the replies !! Dave!

I have a 2006 ML500 and need the rear pair of front subframe bushes. Also while there I’ll get the front ones done. The problem being the rears are not available through Mercedes, AUTODOC and the usual places. A 164 331 00 42 It brings me to number 35924 01 for a lemforder kit which...

Hi all, I’m getting the following codes…. 9006: A9 A/C Compressor Short Circuit 9209: B31 Smog Sensor sensor cable short circuit open to ground 9209: B32 Smog sensor sensor cable open circuit I remember reading about a diode failing and being able to fit one in the wiring but I can’t find it...

Loving the work, a perfect 500e in my view! I saw you mentioned you are waiting for another run of lower wiring harnesses? I was getting funny oil pressure readings at high revs and after replacing the level sender, pressure sender, screen and pick-up I think it was my fettling of the lower...

Hi all, I have a problem with the tailgate on my ML. The powered part no longer works and its due to something I did :wallbash: One of the lifting arm bolts broke so I drilled out the old bolt, fitted new ones and then put the arm back on. Now it no longer opens electrically. I had it...

Hi all, I've had a couple of instances where I am getting random warnings on the dash in my 2006 ML500. The first happened during lots of short runs where the seat heaters were on, rear screen etc and a week of short journeys. The second was in similar circumstances but slightly different...

Will be very interested to see this as my 500e loom is an original from 1991 with 236,000km on it. Dave!

I still own it yes, it's having a bit of TLC at the minute and the underside at the front should all be refreshed by the end of the summer all going well. It's looking a bit sorry for itself at the minute :( I'm in Cambridgeshire, just on the border with Lincolnshire. Dave!

I have good condition rear calipers, newly refurbished front calipers with new seals and pistons, good quality fluid and relatively new discs with EBC Redstuff pads and the 500E stops really well and secure. You have to be doing silly things to get them to overheat. My W164 ML500 though is...

My understanding from the American forums was that all R129 alloys fit the 500e? Very tidy car there, certainly a well looked after example. Dave!

Why is a driver selfish for using every available lane? The selfish ones are those creating needless traffic congestion by queueing far before the road turns into a single, double etc. This isn't a case of people screaming down the outside and pushing their nose in at the very last minute...

We need to get away from this idea that people are pushing in, they aren't, people are preventing them from coming in. if everyone acts as they should, it's the people in the lane being merged into that cause the problem. Leave a gap, make it clear to those wanting to come in that you have...

Are you saying the cars cabin heater is what is keeping the LPG system at a useable temp? Dave!

Have you taken the car to them after one of these occurences and not turned the engine off? I had an issue with the MAF sensor, it came up faultless on each check and the service department told me that the very minor faults would be reset when the ignition is turned off. This definitely was...
