I think it shows the useability of the thing; Huge tent, Dog, Junior, wife, camping kitchen, camping tables x 2, 3 x camping chairs, various toys and beach wears + beach tent 2 x surfboards, clothes, BBQ, 2 blow up beds + sleeping bags + a load of other stuff that we did not use! The car still...

Agree on the springs/shocks - luckily my local council covered the cost of a replacement after an incident with a pot hole - £275 inc fitting. 270 CDI Gearboxes are generic to the Merc range, so, theoretically you could google 'Mercedes gearbox problems' - they are not specific to the ML aside...

Interesting thread; As a seller I have had a few phone calls about the ML, mostly dreamers and timewasters. I had one lady caller who had a very strong Welsh accent, almost difficult to tell what she was saying. Her opening comment was 'Is it worth me coming to see it?' my response; 'I have...

Hi, Mine is a 5 seater - the boot is lined out to protect against dogs though. I will send the couple of pics that I have - I need to do some more of the bodywork to be fair. There is a little rust on the rear arches, the boot and the front grill area - I was quoted at £300 to sort out the...

Well, Several things come to mind; I was in the same position - Kids and dogs. The ML from 1997 to 2001 is very much maligned and misunderstood. The panel fit is not great and it is a bit basic inside. But they seem to keep going and are cheap enough to buy if you go for a petrol/LPG...

Price reduced to £4750 as we have another car. 12 months MOT, just done MOT - needed a ball joint and injector replacing, 6 months TAX, just serviced and all ready to go.

Art, for a long time investment, cars will always need more input and will depreciate when the oil pipeline dries up. That pampered 250 GT California Ferrari will be worth squat to anyone. Otherwise, I would look into startups, if you want a return.....there are some great things happening...

Yes - the Laguna from the previous page went though allot. 1.8 Blue laguna, I also had a 2.2 Diesel Turbo one after that, but it was no end of trouble....My dad smashed it up near Marlborough.....kind of a reverse father/son car incident.... Another 'Ripping Yarn' was the time I managed to get...

My first 'decent' car was ruined by a mate.... After a night out, said friend who was intoxicated as with the other reprobates in the car, decided to throw a bottle of milkshake that I had left in the passenger footwell out of the window as we drove through 'x' town. Bear in mind that the car...

Sadly selling my ML 270 CDI (facelift model) - Automatic + Tiptronic Silver with grey leather interior - circa 95,000 miles, this will increase as the vehicle is in use. The car has just had a major service, brand new tyre (General Grabber UHP - all tyres are the same make and have loads of...

Is it safe to overfill the PAS fluid? Should I fill it way over the max?

Fluid seems to be okay - still feels a bit mechanical and whiny, any idea of cost of replacement?

Had mine remapped to 220BHP by South West IN car Tech - works a treat.

I had a similar issue on an old 300D - the problem was due to the vacuum in the Auto box being lost, turned out to be a split hose that only showed weakness when turning corners. The car would slip out of gear and then re-engage as driving along. If you stopped and put it into Park, then it...

Hi All, I have a noise, mechanical whine from the PAS. I am preying that the pump isn't about to have an embolism..... Fluid top up or cheque book at the ready - any thoughts?

I have a habit of walking into celebrities and not realising it: Walked bang into Claudia Schiffer in geneva airport.....The monster of a bodyguard she had with her was not happy. Walked into Dave Navarro (Janes Addiction) in an LA guitar shop - I trapped his leg in the door. Pushed in front...

Hi All, I am switching out the old ML for an A-class; any known issues with the A140 or A160 on a 2000 plate? Buying an old one as it will be an urban dumper car for trailing the kids about in - see no point in spending on a new one!

That will change to 'This motorway is non operational' when Davey-C privatises the motorways......

I have no idea. Mine has always squealed from the rear pads - Did have a set changed under warranty, still did it though..... Suggests a HF vibration. However, I am not sure about copperslipping (copper grease) the backs of the pads and the edges. I wonder if it is drive train related - i.e...

Think I stayed here when on Lago di Como - Hotel Bellagio,Italy A boutique hotel in the town Bellagio is lovely and has a car ferry over to ...er Sermione?!?! not sure!
