I’ve recently bought an early X164 GL which I’ve been advised needs the chain in the transfer box replacing. Has anyone done one of these on an ML/GL?, I was thinking of attempting a DIY as it doesn’t look too difficult from the videos I’ve seen online but then they always make it look easy!, I...

I’ve been doing a few bits to my W208 and sorting the AC out was one of them. There was no gas in the system and a leaking condenser so condenser replaced yesterday, was getting on a bit to take it for a re gas but when I pressed the EC button the little red light would stay on. Is this likely...

I’m considering getting an W164, I like the look of them and really I’d like the facelift model so 2010 plus so you get Bluetooth, better music playing capability etc. Ideally I’d like to find a 350 CDI in black or grey which isn’t a huge hardship but here’s where it gets trickier, I’d like to...

I’ve got an issue with the reverse lights on my old CLK, replaced the bulbs and no Joy, sometimes they come on but more often than not they don’t, I’m assuming it’s most likely the reverse light switch on the gearbox?, so want to try replacing that. Only thing is I have no idea where it is on...

So I solved the tensioner cable issue in my roof yesterday and was hoping it would be ok now, sadly not. The rear headrests were down but the light was flashing, I checked all the fuses and the 15 Amp one under the bonnet was missing (number 41 iirc) replaced that and the headrests worked but...

I’ve just picked up a quite nice 2000 CLK 320 cab and unfortunately the roof isn’t working, the handle for it broke off in my hand and both tensioner cables have snapped, I’ve found a new front locking mechanism and handle on eBay but having real trouble finding the tensioner cables, does anyone...

I posted before about the gearbox being weird on my CLK230K, it would be like it was inbetween gears if you accelerated anything more than gently and then find a gear again, it also went into limp home mode once and displayed the EML. Got the codes read on STAR today and they were: P2001...

I’ve just bought a CLK230K and everything seems ok with it, drove it back from collecting it and it drove perfectly, this afternoon I put my foot down a bit and it didn’t select another gear and felt like it went it to neutral, I pulled over selected neutral then drive and it was ok, it shifts...

Just wanted to know what they’re like in terms of reliability and drive really?, it would be used for towing and will get used off road now and then but nothing super extreme, as they have low range and adjustable suspension I’m guessing they’re fairly capable?. It would be replacing a 3.6 TDV8...

The fan blower in my SLK seems to be very temperamental, it will work for a few seconds then cut out, start working again-usually after going over a bump in the road for example. It usually seems to carry on working for a while until it cuts out again, it’s worse when the car is cold, obviously...

The R170 I’ve recently bought seems to have a bad case of water forming in the glass inside while parked overnight, the carpets in the car and the boot seem dry to me. Is this a common issue or anywhere specific to look with these or is it just a case of a knackered door/roof seal on an old...

I’m looking for a cheap car just to get to and from work and quite like the idea of one of these, don’t need anything big so am fine with a 2 seater and didn’t mind the 230K engine in a CLK coupe I had years ago. Is there anything particular to look out for on them,apart from rust!.

Got bored of driving a tractor of a Landcruiser so decided to make the switch back to a nice smooth German car:D. I did try and upload a pic direct from my phone but it says image too large so will have to tinker around on the computer later. I picked up a very clean, well maintained 2004...

Would be interested to hear from owners what they're like?, I was thinking about getting a slightly older GL but would rather have the later generation ML for not a lot more money. From what I've read they seem to have pretty positive reviews and are all Euro 6 so I shouldn't need to worry about...

Anyone here owned one or got one?, I'd like to know what they're like to live with, are they reliable overall?, I'm getting seriously irritated with Land Rover reliability issues at the moment, was thinking about a Cayenne but don't want something that does 12 MPG again!!.

I've recently bought a cheap winter car and went for an old E300 TD with 226k on the clock, car was running fine but this week it has struggled to start when cold, now usually I'd think glow plugs straight away but it isn't displaying any warning light and when I've been cranking it, it doesn't...

I've had the pleasure of a few hours in a friends one driving it and have to say what an awesome car!!, at first I was really unimpressed with its power thinking "is that it?" because compared to an AMG engine they have no power at the bottom of the rev range, it's a really peaky V8 but once you...

I've been giving serious thought to ditching the SL for a 2009/2010 Range Rover TDV8 now that the new model is out the older shape is becoming quite reasonable at around the £30k mark so could sell up and finance the rest. What are peoples opinions on the last of the older shape Range Rovers...

Ok, it's not on a Mercedes, it's an old Audi A3 1.8T, I've taken it in for a new clutch and their saying the flywheel is pretty knackered too, and it's a Dual Mass, on a petrol too!!, the cost of replacing both is as much as the car is worth, and to put it back together as is will cost me the...

I was over in Germany this week so thought I would stretch the 55s legs a bit on an unrestricted bit of road, anyway the car felt fine but it wouldn't budge past 146 MPH, I thought the limit was 155, has anyone else had this happen?, or know what could cause it?, I think I want to get the...
