Hi all Our 2002 ML270 has a long list of issues that need sorting but is still drivable. I need to get theses works priced up so I can make a decision to sell her or give her a complete makeover. However, we are in North Devon and have no independent garages anywhere near us. So looking for...

Hi all Drove 10mins to the beach this morning. Got there and noticed a little steam coming out from the front grille. Popped the bonnet, the front long narrow radiator seemed to be the source. Confused because I thought this was a gearbox cooling rad, should be full of atf which surely wouldn't...

...Someone hit the nearside rear view mirror on our facelift ml270. The perspex cover for the indicators fell off and broke. Anyone got one to sell, not keen on replacing the entire mirror body if I can help it! Thanks Simon

Hi all The HP pump was leaking a few months ago so I got my local garage to service the pump with the kit rather than buy a new one. Unfortunately for me it's leaking again so I'm looking at replacing it with a reconditioned pump instead. Could anyone talk me through the process as it's easily...

Hi all, Looking for a scanner that will work with my ml270. I've read older posts recommending the autel maxidiag eu702 scanner for my merc. Thing is, there seem to be eu702's for sale all over the place, ranging from £80 right up to £200, I guess the cheaper ones are Chinese copies? Can...

Hi all, I'm after one of these, anyone selling? It's the alpine unit. Need one with a code. Email me [email protected] Thanks Simon

Hi all The cooling fan on our ml270 wasn't working for a while. The engine is so slow to overheat I didn't actually even notice for a couple of months! Looks like it was just a bad connection on the battery terminal. Just want to check this is normal though, the fan runs slow sometimes, eg...

Hi all the radiator fan on our ml270 doesn't seem to be coming on, checked the large fuse on the battery terminal but that's fine, what else should I check? Thanks Simon

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone's selling one of these stereos with a code? Thanks Simon

Hi all I was just checking the MOT certificate for our w163. Offside & nearside outer front anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated Play in steering rack inner joints What parts will I need to put these items right and are either of these items potentially serious. Need to plan ahead for the...

Hi all, My audio10 CD unit has developed a really bad crackle on the volume knob so I'd like to replace it with a new stereo. What would fit straight in with no mods? There are three connector blocks on one end, a fibreoptic one in the middle and an aerial on the other end. I don't have remote...

Hi all, I have been tinkering with my Audio 10 CD/radio unit and managed to get an auxillary input wired into it :) I have followed the same procedure as a guy on youtube, but his video wasn't easy to follow so I still had to do a lot of experimenting. It shares the radio preamp output and...

Hi all I know that my inlet manifold/swirl flaps are very probably worn out - poor performance, oil down side of engine block etc. Not knowing a vast amount about the inlet manifold, if I do the EGR blocking off and electrical modification, would it be necessary for me to also replace the...

Hi all Recently noticed that the engine dipstick on my ML270 is the wrong one! It doesn't fit the pipe at the top and the reading it gives doesn't tally with the dashboard oil level reading. So I can only assume that a garage lost it in the past and put one in off another vehicle... I can't...

Hi all I'm looking to replace the stonechipped bonnet on my ML270. Does anyone know if the bonnet that was used on the AMG and special edition versions fits? It had two ridges running up it but the front end looks the same, shape wise, as the standard bonnet. If I can track one down in silver...

Hi all panason1c came over today and did some work on my ML270, what a top guy! We were trying to connect his diagnostics box to the car but every time it hung whilst trying to communicate with module 6, whatever that is. His box of tricks has had no problems reading his ML270 and both...

Hi all I'm considering buying a secondhand 722.6 gearbox as it would appear cheaper to buy and have it installed locally than driving an hour and spending £2600 or thereabouts for a specialist to take the old one out and install a reconditioned one. Will any 722.6 gearbox work in an 02...

Hi all Our ML270 has a distinct 'whine' to it as you drive. The noise is present regardless of engine revs, coasting or accelerating. Not loud and seems to come from all around. Not long after buying the ML I changed all the tyres to budget ATs made by Infinity. I'm just wondering if it could...

Hi all I have an Ml270CDI, 2002 UK facelift model with a 5 speed tiptronic box. How can I tell if mine has a separate oil cooler fitted, or was it fitted as standard on my model. Just trying to rule out the glycol in ATF scenario with my misbehaving gearbox. There appears to be a little...

Hi all My ML270 gearbox is playing up, its an 02 reg with the 722.6 box. When it changes up from 3rd to 4th gear it 'flares' (revs up then down) almost as if its in neutral for a second. Had a gearbox ATF and filter change yesterday, which has made the gearchanges and 'feel' of the car...
