Fixed!:bannana: Turned out to be a dry and sticky prop-shaft Universal joint. There is no noticeable play in it but also no real lube around it. Prop-shaft removed, UJ manually worked hard and well lubed back up and then replaced, noise completely gone. Will keep an eye on it and...

Hi, I need some experienced opinions/advice. Tonight as the Mrs reversed off the drive I heard a noisy squeaky once or twice per revolution sqeal . It sounded vey much like a metallic type of squeak/scrape . At first I thought it was a brake type noise and then possibly suspension as it squeals...

Sorry can't help really, not had that issue and to be fair haven't read much about it ( having read a lot about the 270 since buying ours 18 months ago I haven't come across that issue ( to be fair as I've not had the problem then maybe I've not been seeing other posts about it). Only issues...

I meant low temperature not low coolant sorry

If it's the temperature sender ( not level sensor) then I believe it is located in the thermostat housing. Thermostat on my ML270 is at the front right ( when looking in towards the car - passenger side uk) of the engine just above the oil filter cap ( need to remove engine cover). The...

Well done ArdVeen, A detailed write up would be great if you can be bothered. I haven't had to tackle this on mine YET! but i'm sure it will at some point. I'm pretty handy and have done all sorts to the ML so far and feel confident I can do it myself (albeit over a large number of hours by the...

+1 for potential fueling issue, very common on these. Air gets into the fuel lines and can take a lot of cranking to start and sometimes cuts out after starting dependent on leak. Do a search for ml270 fuel lines or poor starting, there will be loads of info ( could do a search on my posts as...

Swapped my old squidgy standard w163 steering wheel for a dark wood ML55 one to match the inspiration interior ( wood colour is a great match, not perfectly identical to the inspirations black wood but very close and unnoticeable unless you have immense OCD or it's extremely sunny , therefore a...

My friend has the standard 85 s model which he has on lease. he has had it since March and loves it. Its very rapid on acceleration and I guess top speed if you ever get the chance to get up there and its just the standard model not even the P85D model with insane mode (0-60 in 3.2 sec) or...

What age ML is it? (pre-or post facelift? as I believe the fuel filter arangement differs between). Have a look at teh following threads and see if that helps? I'm guessing either air in the fuel lines somehow, (broken clip on connector, Orings etc or possibly fuel filter housing if pre...

I recently bought the SGS 3 tonne one with 6 tonne stands ( 3t each) and all in it was less than £100 . I got it for our heavy 2.2 tonneMl 270 and it eats it for breakfast, best thing I've bought, however it is a beast and extremely heavy ( but reassuring :-)) . If you only rarely do work on the...

Check your fuel lines ( hard plastic pipes) sounds like you might be getting air in the fuel, common on these . If you see air in the lines then it's getting in. Common area is oring seals at the 6pipe end connectors. The plastic push for ends and retaining clips get brittle over time and can...

Like I say, I cant endorse them as I have not used them yet (so far have done most of the work myself) but will give them a try next time I need help with something too big to tackle myself (based on the recommendations from others in the link). Good luck and let us know how you get on. Moz

What year is yours and is at a pre or post facelift model? Recently a chap posted a starting problem with his ML270 which turned out to be his fuel filter housing. This confused me at first as mine is a 2003 post facelift and my fuel filter is a replacement can. From what I can gather the pre...
