    Best independent Merc garage?

    Edit: I missed the post about avantgarde in north Somerset. Heard good things about them and they've much closer. My thinking on the ml is if the work comes to sub 2k then its worth doing. I still love driving the ml and we wouldn't get much car from the proceeds of selling her.

    Best independent Merc garage?

    Thanks for all the replies. We have had nothing but grief with servicing in north devon, been around pretty mich everywhere over the last 5 years. There are no workshops with any mb specific knowledge around here. Got friends in portsmouth so I might look up the chap steve in that area.

    Best independent Merc garage?

    Hi all Our 2002 ML270 has a long list of issues that need sorting but is still drivable. I need to get theses works priced up so I can make a decision to sell her or give her a complete makeover. However, we are in North Devon and have no independent garages anywhere near us. So looking for...

    Ml270 coolant leak?

    Hi all Drove 10mins to the beach this morning. Got there and noticed a little steam coming out from the front grille. Popped the bonnet, the front long narrow radiator seemed to be the source. Confused because I thought this was a gearbox cooling rad, should be full of atf which surely wouldn't...

    ...Someone hit the nearside rear view mirror on our facelift ml270. The perspex cover for the indicators fell off and broke. Anyone got one to sell, not keen on replacing the entire mirror body if I can help it! Thanks Simon

    Jeep CRD (270 cdi) fuel pump leak??

    I saw that, very tempted to have a go but I don't have a nice dry, warm workshop and its rained every day here since autumn... More inclined to buy the recon and get my local mechanic to install it.

    Jeep CRD (270 cdi) fuel pump leak??

    ...Agreed, we've just wasted our money on trying to fix ours with new seals. It's not as bad as before but still leaking, plus I think some air's finding its way in now. Looks like a recon unit is required!

    HP fuel pump ML270

    Hiya, I would if there were any near me! Nearest is over an hour's drive away and I didn't rate them at all last time I used them. Right car but wrong part of the country for support...

    722.6 Gearbox issue

    We had the same 3rd to 4th flaring, but all the time, on our 140k miler ML270. Same box as yours, it was a faulty valve body. Replaced the entire valve body with a recon unit from 3 pointed parts ltd, problem solved.

    HP fuel pump ML270

    Hi all The HP pump was leaking a few months ago so I got my local garage to service the pump with the kit rather than buy a new one. Unfortunately for me it's leaking again so I'm looking at replacing it with a reconditioned pump instead. Could anyone talk me through the process as it's easily...

    scanner for 2002 w163 ml270

    Hi all, Looking for a scanner that will work with my ml270. I've read older posts recommending the autel maxidiag eu702 scanner for my merc. Thing is, there seem to be eu702's for sale all over the place, ranging from £80 right up to £200, I guess the cheaper ones are Chinese copies? Can...

    ML 270 Rear Differential

    ..I fitted some fairly aggressive mud & snow tyres to my ML and it too now makes noises that sound like a bearing/diff/shaft noise. Recommend turning the stereo up a bit higher, that sorts it :)

    ml270 cooling fan

    Hi all The cooling fan on our ml270 wasn't working for a while. The engine is so slow to overheat I didn't actually even notice for a couple of months! Looks like it was just a bad connection on the battery terminal. Just want to check this is normal though, the fan runs slow sometimes, eg...

    radiator fan ml270

    Well I must admit that it hasn't overheated and I have sat in traffic without any problems... But I used to be able to hear when the fan came on quite clearly. Does it have different speeds? Maybe it is working but at a lower, quieter speed... I dunno, halfway through moving house so maybe one...

    Inlet manifold

    The 270CDI that panason1c was referring to is my ML270 which he worked on. The difference in all-round performance since he cleaned and de-flapped the manifold is pretty amazing.
