    ML Mirror

    Yes, it can be done. Instructions are in the handbook but I can't remember offhand exactly how to do it. It is done by pressing buttons on the centre consul somehow or other.

    help with xenons

    When I got my new ML with Xenons I was getting flashed repeatedly by oncoming cars. It was a dealer job to adjust them which was done under warranty. They are seemingly adjusted by electric motors but the dealer adjustment solved the problem.

    Bi-Xenon Headlamps and driving abroad

    I have an ML fitted with Xenons. When going to Europe I just adjusted them myself. Lift the bonnet, unclip the plastic cover on the rear of the headlight assembly and there is a small lever which can be adjusted up and down. On mine you just push it down and replace the plastic cover and...

    COMAND or not to comand

    When I showed an interest at the dealers about adding COMMAND to the spec of the ML I was surprised at how little they knew about it - i learned more about it reading posts and asking questions here!

    COMAND or not to comand

    It is MB that we are dealing with here! :rolleyes: From memory Video/TV was yet another option at around £750 :eek: Must admit though the sat nav system is superb - I have used it in Switzerland and France and it is excellent - I would not want to travel in Europe without it.

    COMAND or not to comand

    I have a 2004 ML with COMMAND. What I had to do to get over this problem was to get a 6 stack CD Player fitted as an optional extra. Then your 6 CD's play from the player in the luggage area controlled by the COMMAND system and you leave your sat. nav disc in the COMMAND headunit all the...

    Is the normal - ML 270 CDI eating discs

    Hi vg, I have an ML 270 CDi which I got new in March 04. It has now done 15,700 miles and had it's first service in July 05. It did not require the pads or discs to be replaced and no mention was made by the dealer regarding wear to these parts either.

    Fuel Consumption

    Queried the 22/23mpg that I am getting when I put the ML 270CD in for its first service and the reply was: "that's not unusual - fairly normal" :( How do some folks manage 30mpg - I'll never know :confused:

    Fuel Consumption

    Hi Glojo, I am comparing it with my last car - a BMW 530d tourer. It was much quieter when it was revved and was pretty quick off its mark too :)

    Fuel Consumption

    No, if anything I drive a wee bit on the slow side and very rarely rev the engine hard - cos it's so bloomin noisy!

    Fuel Consumption

    Hi Ben, I got a new ML 270CD in March 04 and my average fuel consumption since then is normally around 22 to 23 mpg. This is mostly about town driving. The best I have ever had was 25.2 mpg which was on a long run to the Isle of Mull and back but this is the one and only time I have...

    Car Hire in Canada

    Fuzzer, had a quick look at the Avis web site - they are wee bit more expensive and no information on Sat Nav systems.

    Car Hire in Canada

    It is a portable system as far as I know - called 'Neverlost' I will need to clarify the availability of it before booking as I have had conflicting information from Hertz about it - according to the Web Site it is availabe in Toronto Airport, according to an email I got from Hertz at Toronto...

    Car Hire in Canada

    I think so as I still have to fill in a Reservation Confirmation form the same as the pay it up front option - but I don't know it there are any guarantees though!

    Car Hire in Canada

    I am going to Canada for a week in May and am intending to hire a car from Hertz for the week which is all a bit new to me as I have never hired a car before let alone been to Canada! Checking the hire rates on their web site there are 2 choices - pay most of the cost just now by credit card...

    Are MLs that bad?

    I got a new 270CDi ML in March this year. So far I have been fairly impressed with the build quality - no squeaks or rattles after 7500 miles yet. It is a comfortable car while travelling on motorways or long fairly straight 'A' class roads but driving around town and country roads is...

    MSS/ Wheel Doctor, Leeds

    I am considering having my alloys refurbished by the above Company. From what I have gathered I believe that the 2 different trading names are in fact the same Company though. Looking through old threads Ian B Walker was very disappointed with the service from the Wheel Doctor :(...

    bose wave rad?cd player

    We have one in our home. Really good sound off such a small box :) . Not so sure about 'value for money' though - I felt it was a bit expensive at the time we got ours and I believe it has since gone up in price since then. We did manage to negotiate the delivery charge though - managed...
