    Hesitation on part throttle

    Hi all, Just as I'm planning my trip to France my 2003 ML 270, it has begun to hesitate on part throttle. It only seems to occur on slight inclines when using part throttle around 60 to 70mph. It normally happens on cruise control but it happens without so not the CC playing up. It feels a bit...

    Petrol smell

    Thanks for the tips. I've borrowed a carpet cleaner, so I'll try that tomorrow and see how it is. It was on the return journey and buried under everything, so that's why I kept going. It was my fault as it ran out of petrol so I didn't go thru the usual turn off procedure of turning the fuel...

    Petrol smell

    Hi, I've just got back from camping and my generator leaked petrol in the boot. Not a huge amount as I had a blanket underneath it but it smells pretty bad now. Any suggestions on how to remove the smell? Cheers.

    What problems are there with 02-03 ml 270 d

    I've got a 2003 ML270 CDI. I've had to replace front discs and pads, MAF sensor and I've just had all five injectors reseated. I was speaking to the mechanic at Three Points in Bristol and he said they were generally pretty reliable. Nothing particularly stands out as a problem except wear and...

    W163 front axle noises

    My centre bearing is worn and makes a noise that sounds like it's coming from the front. Get a garage to check that if I were you. Cheers.

    ML270 limp mode

    Good news, it was the MAF sensor, so looking forward to having it driving properly again. Seemed odd driving the B class courtesy car after the ML. Going to collect it in the morning. Bad news they identified a whine from the rear of the car which he was going to investigate. I'd notice...

    ML270 limp mode

    Hi all, Just got back from a 1200 mile trip to Centre Parcs in France, all at a rather reduced pace due to the ML going on limp mode the day before we were due to leave! Had no other choice but to take her as there were 7 of us. It survived the trip and even managed 26 mpg with a roof bag...

    Get you home lights

    If you read your manual, you need to press the fog light button I think that's what I did on mine. Cheers.

    New Mercedes owner

    Thanks for the support! First hurdle was the brake pad warning light coming on when on cruise control on the motorway. New pads and discs successfully fitted by a mobile mechanic. The pins were a nightmare to remove so took much longer than planned. But all in all, £215 didn't seem bad to me...

    Replacement Stereo

    Hi, Looking to replace the cassette player in my ML270. I want a modern unit with the usual aux inputs and USB ports, but I want to be able to connect to the standard fit cd changer in the boot. Any ideas which stereo would fit the bill? Only looking at £100 to spend. Cheers. Rich

    New Mercedes owner

    Hello, Just bought an ML270, silver (slightly rusty round the edges), good history, 129k. It drives really well, might need new front discs and pads shortly I think. Very pleased with it and looking forward to learning about it and driving it. It's a 7 seat version for carrying the family, and...
