Forgot to add that I have a set of winter tyres and alloys that go on in November. Nothing stops it when it snows.

I have had my ML420 CDi SE for 6 years now. It is a MY 2007. Fully specced with every single option ticked, even the off road package. It was £65k new. I wanted the SE model as it has the real Nappa Leather not the the man made leather in the Sport. 30mpg is achievable easily on a run. I have...

I have had my ML420SE for 5 years now. I bought it in 2008 with 15k and now it has 70k. It had one previous owner and had every and I mean every option ticked. Nappa, reversing camera, off road kit, HK stereo, sunroof etc etc. It took me 6 months to find and a 420 in SE spec as most are Sport...

I moved from a ML270 which I had owned for 5 years to a an ML420 two years ago. Both have been completely faultless. Newer model is superior in every way to ML270 and is very much part of the family, football, dog walking , outdoor life, skiing trip etc life that we live. Even from a 4litre...

My ML270 would do 35mpg on a run and around 25 mpg around town all day long. Even had it up to 41mpg once. Keep it below 2500 revs on the motorway ( 70mph ) and only use BP Ultimate or Shell V Power diesel. I did 75k miles in it over 5 and a half years so got to know it quite well and how...

Fingers crossed, have been very lucky. Most reliable car I have ever owned is my current Mark V Golf Tdi 4 Motion, 3 and a half years old and nothing has ever gone wrong with it, not even a light bulb ! ML270 was very reliable and current ML420 has had nothing go wrong either. Kiss of...

Does the Lady Boy come with ? He msut be compensating for lacking in other areas

x4 thats still £615 for just the parts, front discs will be more expensive as well, add a few hours labour as well don't forget.

Those discs will cost you about a grand to replace at an indy. Check the wheel arches as well for rust. If it has been main dealer serviced then the rust will be covered by the Merc guarantee and you can have the work done for free. Also check the rear springs, it is common for them to...

I have just upgraded my 18 inch alloys with 255/55 tyres to AMG 20 inch alloys with 295/40 tyres. Very please with the improved look. No difference in ride quality or tyre noise, guess that the air suspension sorts that out. Wheels were bought on eBay for £100 each then refurbished and...

I have just done a similar upgrade with my MY03 ML270 to a MY07 ML420. It was in October last year and I managed to get £7k for the old girl then with 75k on the clock. I had owned it since new. No doubt my 420 has depreciated faster than my old ML270 over the last few months but I console...

A little perspective on the matter "carbon dioxide in the atmosphere = 0.039% by volume carbon cycle proportion of carbon dixoide contributed by mankind 3.4% (IPCC) UK contribution to global emissions 2% (DEFRA) Proportion of this due to cars = 16% (DEFRA again) So cars in the UK are...

Paul, I have just been through the same dilema so will add my 2p. I wanted to change the trusty 5 yr old ML270 to something newer and after scouring the blurb and the internet decided I wanted an ML420 SE. ( could not live with an ML Sport that had a £50k price mark and having 'Articio man...

I bought a 99 plate 2.5 Boxster after considering an SLK. I upgraded from a Clio 182 which was mental but the Boxster despite being a faster car made driving far more enjoyable. Drive both and choose depending upon your driving style. I had to sell my Boxster 2 years ago and I still miss...

It has been said - IMAGE BMW - You are still climbing the greasy pole MERC - You are at the top of the greasy pole

Finally decided to join this forum. Part ex'd my trusty ML270 which I had owned from new for 5 and a half years. 75,000 miles of trouble free motoring. I could not resist the temptation of all that cheap metal out there at the moment and when I saw an ML420 with the exact spec I did the...
