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...

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...

Hi all, Every so often when coming to a stop the idle starts to fluctuate, be rough etc. from what I understand this is most likely to be the MAF sensor. As soon as throttle is applied it clears up and runs perfectly. If it's starting to go then is it a straight swap or will it need to be...

My wife noticed how the rear seatbelt in the Ml (2006 model) do not move freely, they just get tighter and tighter when you move about. Is there a simple fix for this, i'm guessing it's through lack of use but was hoping there is a "how to" guide somewhere on this particular problem. Dave!

Hi all, I have the wired in bluetooth kit in my 2006 ML, it's in the centre armrest and is shaped like the nose of an SLR. I can't seem to link it with my iphone 4, is this unit compatible with the older bluetooth module? If it isn't, what would you reccomend as a bluetooth unit, I want to...

Hi all, I'm after the older style alloy wheel bolts of the 124 era. They had a tapered seat and then the hex head of the bolt was flush with the face of the alloy with a stainless cap on so they always looked in good condition. I asked at Mercedes a while back and they said they no...

Hi all, In 2 to 3 weeks i'll be looking at these and hopefully picking one up. It needs to have the air suspension which despite what I thought they don't all have and not be silver, any other colour is considered, midnight blue would be perfect but that is asking for the moon on a stick...

Hi all, I'm trying to find out how many blue GL420 CDI's were built for the uk market? It's our next chosen daily car and we will be getting one by the end of the year all going well. The only factor missus Uberwagon has said she must have is a blue one and to be fair I agree, too many...

I have a knock from the rear suspension strut on the right rear, it knocks when you drive and sits 15mm higher on that side. When the car is bounced on its suspension you can feel that the noise is internal to the strut. When I cracked the oil feed to it there seemed to be air in the oil but...

My 500e is nearing being back on the road :rock: Took it off to be sensible, was regularly run up and cycled through the gears etc and apart from some rusty rear brake pipes it has survived relatively unscathed. New exhaust being sorted as it was the catalyst to being put into storage. So...

Hi all, I have a friend in Finland who needs an airbag part.. The price in Finland is 1500 euros and he has asked if I can find either a good second hand one or a better price for a new part. I have 3 part numbers on the picture but it wont let me upload it on my crappy connection...

Where is this rod located on the suspension? It has been a long time since I was underneath the car and it's still tucked up in my garage. My suspension is jacked right up at the back and as I had a slight knock when going over bumpy roads I think it may have broken or fallen off. I know...

When it was last used regularly nearly 2 years ago it had a slight knock from the rear suspension. There was nothing obvious after a quick inspection when it was up on ramps and since then it has been in a dry storage unit for 18 months and for the last 4 months at home in the garage. I take...

I intend to remove the cats from my 500E. As far as I am aware the middle eastern cars had no cats and that's why i'm able to get a genuine non cat front pipe from Merc. I will also be fitting a Y pipe instead of the central resonator and a standard backbox as I am not keen on aftermarket...

My pride and joy is home :D A couple of exhaust leaks to fix thanks to a knob who can't reverse and a knock to find in the rear suspension and i'll be back on the road. Just driving it up the driveway reminded me why I love this car so much :p Dave!

I hear rumour these exist? Is this true ? Dave!

High all, What are the back axles on the W126 cars good for? Are there any parts about to strengthen these or a known max torque you can put through these? Dave!

Another hire for a few days from the nice chaps at Classic Car Club Great car.... I picked it up yesterday lunch and came back down the A13, wind in my hair, cruising to some classic rock at a nice steady 60mph. Everything feels slightly less rushed in this car, even more so than the...
