    2008 ML280 - W164 - Rear Entertainment

    Many thanks, Richard for getting back to me so quick. Part of me was hoping the single centre mounted screen would be cheaper hence that being my first choice. But as you say having the seat mounted twin screens would cost the pretty much the same it's given me food for thought. Will be in touch...

    2008 ML280 - W164 - Rear Entertainment

    Hello all, I have done much searching and reading on this and other forums about retro-fitting a rear entertainment system to my W164. I'd like to fit a single screen center-console mounted pop-up style screen with DVD/Flash player but am struggling to find any kits that are suitable. I've...

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    Hi Did a test to try to narrow down the cause of the problem. after 3 days of not driving I went to start her up. But before I started up I let the fuel prime for about 10 seconds before the final turn of the key to fire up. Worked like a charm and started like it should. Also checked the...

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    came across this thread from a while back W164 ML280 - Starting Problems - MBClub UK - Bringing together Mercedes Enthusiasts Similar issue which was resolved by replacing the Glow Plug Relay Module. I think I'll go down this route and may even get the fuel filter changed just to eliminate...

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. As SMS points out that this model wouldn't suffer from O ring failure, do you think its more likely to be the glow system at fault? What would one ask the garage to look for in this instance and how pricey is it likely to be to set right? Apologies for the...

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    Honestly, no idea. I'd have to go through the paperwork. Previous owner had had an "A service" (I think that's what it's called) done just over 1000 miles ago, not sure if the fuel filter would be replaced as part of that.

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    Assuming this isn't normal? It's not such a big deal for me but I'm worried it may lead to other issues or eventually drain the battery.

    ML280 W164 - Seems to struggle to start

    Hello all, Hopefully I've got the right section of the forum for this query. Picked up my 2008 ML280 W164 couple weeks ago. I've noticed that it takes a few seconds longer to start up after it's been parked for a period. Starting after say 4 or 5 hours of last use seems to be fine, but...

    New to Forum, New to Merc, New to 4x4s

    Thanks all for the kind welcome and flowrider99 for pointing out the typo! I'm sure I will enjoy the ML as much as I expected. It was a close call between that and a similar aged X5. But as fate would have it a mint example popped up not too far from me and after seeing and driving it I had to...
