    Replacing fog lamp bulb on 2002 ML55

    I'm trying to get the fog lamp glass cover off to replace the bulb but but the rubber surround won't come off. Do I need to buy a replacment lamp? Thanks in advance for info.

    Terraclean.

    Thanks, Mark, I think I'll leave it for a while. That lot reminds me of the old Guinness joke where the guy with the girder on his shoulder says, "If you think the bottom has fallen out of your world; drink a pint of Guinness and feel the world fall out of your bottom." Best, Chris.

    Is 'V8 AMG snobbery' a "thing"?

    I love my ML55, it has grunt and speed for such a heavy car, it handles like a dream and I often enjoy p£$$ing boy racers off at traffic lights. I know traditionalists may not agree, but I fitted it with chrome side steps and a chrome bullbar and fitted 2 chrome spot/fog lamps on the bullbar and...

    Terraclean.

    Has anyone used the terraclean fuel system clean? I'm considering a clean for my ML55, but not if anyone has had an unsatisfactory result. My car has 130,000 miles on the clock and runs well but I'm wondering about carbon build up after all those miles.

    Rare ML55 AMG.

    Thanks for that. I've had a look around myself and found 1 on autotrader and 5 on ebay. People selling them may only do the mot on the day of sale.

    Rare ML55 AMG.

    I just copied this from Car Logbook and I don't know whether to believe it: HOW RARE IS MY MERCEDES ML55? These stats won't show how many MERCEDES ML55 were made or sold but they do show how many MERCEDES ML55 are left on the road. There are 31,344,532 cars & other vehicles with valid MOTs...

    Key Fob Problems

    My problem is the key unlocks the car (all doors) when turned in the drivers side door. I do this because the buttons don't work even after resynchronising as per the manual. I've ordered new Varta 2025 batteries, which I'll get next week. They are the same as the old ones (7 years old). All was...

    ML55 AMG rear shocks.

    I am shopping for a 2002 ML55 rear shock absorber with spring. Having used my chassis number with suppliers, they tell me they do not have that number on their ML range of products but they've had no complaints from people that have bought the ordinary ML range of shocks from them. I know the...

    ML55 AMG

    2002 ML55 supercar (with tow bar). Had it nearly 6 years and still not fed up with it.

    ML 55 fan belt tensioner.

    Bad luck this morning en-route swimming baths when 'ping' and my power steering ceased operating. I pulled into nearby parking space and checked the engine. The fan belt had snapped cleanly so I tried spinning the various pulleys and found the belt tensioner had seized solid. The guide pulley...

    2001 ML55 AMG.

    Just spotted a 2001 ML55 AMG going for £10,250. Guy says it's a very rare car - and in the same paragraph says - Please do not confuse this with the tired rusty examples often seen for sale - this really is in a different league and is perfect for the collector or connoisseur. Tired rusty...

    Battery charging in situ.

    Many thanks for the response; I've learned something here but pleased to say it was a pleasure this morning as it started as usual with the 1st turn of the key after pulling off 3" of frozen snow. This is a great car but in the 4.5 years I've had it, I haven't seen another - plenty of MLs but no...

    Battery charging in situ.

    My ML55 has been parked outside for a few days and though I have never had a problem starting it, I'm wondering that if it doesn't start because of a battery problem; can I connect my battery charger without removing the battery, leaving everything intact?
