    High mileage ml500?

    Cost of fuel does not bother me, really like the look of the ML, I had a X5 a few years ago and liked the sat up position but I had endless problems with that car so won't be going back. Just not sure if 130k is classed as high mileage where problems may start for a V8 or that these engines...

    High mileage ml500?

    So selling the e class and thinking of buying a ML500, as I only now do around 10-12k a year so a diesel probably ain't worth it. Will only have around 6500 to spend which puts me in the 2005 ish area and mileages around 130,000 Are these engines good with high miles (will try to find one...

    W212 intermittent gear selector issues

    Oh I forgot 🙈 I have a 2013 e220 w212, also had a gearbox service 20,000 miles ago so hopefully nothing to do with that

    W212 intermittent gear selector issues

    Hey all, wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and might know the cause Start car up fine, selects drive fine, but every so often when I go to select reverse or park or neutral it does nothing. It won't select anything and remains in drive, if I turn engine off and back on then all...

    Loss of water from somewhere

    No I always reverse in, I think it must be water gathering, will certainly be monitoring this, never had this with any other car hence the concern

    Loss of water from somewhere

    Can discount short runs as it does 120 miles a day, the aircon drip I briefly thought about, but that's alot of water for that trapped water being collected on the belly pans, then when pulling off it pours out 🤔 will need to monitor that Its been happening for a couple of weeks now but only...

    Loss of water from somewhere

    Hi, my w212 e220 cdi seems to be losing water from somewhere, the coolant levels seem fine and it's not oil, definitely water, here is a pic of my drive when I pulled off this morning Any ideas what could be the cause of this, water pump maybe?

    W212 oil leak from front

    Just to finish thread off by saying it was indeed the gearbox oil cooler leaking, so had that replaced and had the gearbox oil serviced at same time, all in a good price of £426 Cheers W1ghty 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

    W212 oil leak from front

    Already booked in with Robin lamb specialist for Thursday. They quoted 366 for parts and labour but I am going to get them to service gearbox at same time so will be slightly more than that Cheers 😁😁
