    E430 AMG brings the noise

    The reason for the purchase was the absence of corrosion both on the surface and underneath. Makes for one very solid winter hack with more bhp than my summer toy. It’s mid range punch is ridiculous and as a fan of naturally aspirated horsepower, this ticked too many boxes to be left on the...

    E430 AMG brings the noise

    greetings! Been a while since I darkened these doors back in 2012/13 when I had a lovely old ML. A lot has changed since then, my passion for old interesting Mercs not being one of them. Bought a near 20 year old w210 with the smaller V8 lump in it. Love these sedans. Very much related to the...

    270 CDi remap..

    be interested to hear. I have an old ML270cdi and was wondering about the remap, can't help but think that the fuel savings would be lost in the increased insurance premium.... Anyone with experience to refute this theory, please speak up now!

    Key won't start car ? Every now and then ?

    I've had the odd issue where it turns over for a split second and stops and displays "start Error" on the dash. Does this sound like the starter motor is getting tired too? I just turned the key back and turned again and it started fine, I just don't want to get stranded when it doesn't let...

    Please talk me out of a Rangy Sport

    Thanks for all your thoughts on this. I have a growing fondness for the ml164...

    Please talk me out of a Rangy Sport

    Was thinking around the £12-16k mark but that diesel cayenne would be a cheeky crimbo present. Think £60k is very strong money for a car. I am happy in my ml but I have no other vices, so cars can be an indulgence. Still think a 16k rangy sport stacks up nicely against the ml 164 and the used...

    Please talk me out of a Rangy Sport

    I'll still be buying used, so I'm wary of the hype around air suspension failures with LR products, although obviously I'd buy a warranty, I would be peeved if my car was off the road for any substantial amount of time. Interesting that Lexus tops the charts from 2009 onwards, yet you rarely...

    Please talk me out of a Rangy Sport

    Thanks, Not for the congratulations. I merely mention the contract as its the reason for thinking of changing the ML270 after so recently acquiring it. As opposed to not being happy with the ML. I'm inclinded to agree the RR sport is driven by high earning chavs. Last night driving home...

    Please talk me out of a Rangy Sport

    So, I'm expecting a big contract and thinking about how much I liked the feel of the Rangy Sport I sat in recently. I love the ML and really like the column shift ML model that follows mine but it is a smaller and shorter car. I love big 4x4 car presence and really felt the rangy sport was...

    ML 270 Air Con ~ Is there a Check Window?

    Hi Folks, This is my first winter in 6 years so I can't remember what to expect. I turn on the A/C and it fogs a little then clears slowly the windscreen and other glass areas. When I was in South East Asia, A/C was critical so everyone knew to look for bubbles in the little check window...

    W163, is there a good steering wheel?

    leather ones use a soft nappa and it feels great!

    bought ML270 yesterday V diagnostics today :-(

    Update: Oil leak and horn sorted. Booked for mot Monday. I'll go fetch it back tomorrow night or Friday morning. I miss it, despite driving new c class with 150 miles on the clock, 139 of which I have done. Off to derby tomorrow, miss my ml...sob sob... C class feels like riding a luge. Low and...

    daytime running lights

    Still can't get the drls on. Nearly popped into a dealer I passed but was distracted by the chance of a pizza...yummmmm! I should be happy to get my ml back! Tomorrow!

    Sorry, I'm in a 2 day old c class petrol now. Should've mentioned that.

    daytime running lights

    Also confused as my drl don't seem to work during the day but come on at night when opening the car. Strange. Too complicated from me, just have em on or have a switch would seem easier... But I am a Luddite. Mine has a red cone of light and snowflake. Does that mean it is amg? 0n 16s?. Think not.

    New class snaffoo!

    Wellthe first thing I can tell you is the seating in the C class is almost as bad as the Mondeo I had to drive for a day. Too low, legs out, too flat. the ML is magestic by comparison and I can't wait to get her back with a full MOT and oil leak, horn and parking sensors all sorted. She's older...
