    Parking Sensor Failure 2 Red lights

    Hmm, similar problem after my car has been left in the rain for a whole day. Done 1000 miles or so over last weekend with no issues. I do have 2 reds each side on the front without any sound. I'll give it a wash with Karcher first and if nothing happens, shall look to replace faulty. One...

    722.9 Gtronic auto transmission on s320 cdi (09)

    Unfortunately, sounds like the issue I had a couple months ago. You are likely to need a new valve body with a conductor plate. Part in UK is about 500 notes, 4-6L of gearbox oil and a few hours labour inclusive of STAR coding....All in all, should get your wallet lighter for about 1200-1500...

    2001 C320 ABS ESP BAS warning light then limp mode

    1. It could be a few things, including MAF sensor sending wrong data. Try unplugging MAF and then start the car, as a first try. It could be mechanical also where one of things like alternator, power steering pump or AC compressor is going to give up the ghost and ceasing up. Not sure if...

    GL x164 420Cdi Glow Plugs or Relay

    Here we go again, Not even a month passed since valve body has been replaced on gearbox, I got glow plug light on. Engine starts normally, however, after engine starts, glow plug light stays on until engine temperature reaches something between 70-80C. No light shown after that, unless...

    CLK 320 gearbox locked

    Have a check on this thread, as it could be also a gearbox valve body. Have Mercedes dealer to read the fault codes from gearbox. If this is the case, it is 1500GBP job. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/174533-problem-valve-body-722-9-722-6-transmissions.html Also, two options, you can...

    Problem with valve body in 722.9 and 722.6 transmissions

    I had to get car up and running. Local MB garage in Rapperswil was quite helpful and nice, however, here in Switzerland, price of parts is almost double from UK, for one reason or the other. Also, not sure what is the price of gearbox oil here, and they required almost 8L of it. The rest was...

    Problem with valve body in 722.9 and 722.6 transmissions

    As per title, and some of my old thread here where our GL got stuck in gear about a month ago, yesterday threw a towel and did not shift up from 1st. Anyways, to cut story short, called Mobilo and they took me to dealers and it is going to cost in a range of 2500 Swiss franks. After a brief...

    GL Stuck in 5th then in 1st gear

    Hi All, Yesterday, as we have been driving along and got onto motorway, car got stuck in 5th gear. Noticed that on the rev counter, that we have been doing 75mph on 2200rpm or so. Stopped the car on the hard shoulder, turned it off, started again, and then it stuck in the 1st gear. Had to...

    w164 ML faulty door mirror light unit

    No diagnostics can help there, simply there is broken wire inside the mirror and has to be cut and extended. It moves when mirrors are closed and opened. I took mine to main dealer and they have fixed it on our GL....later versions post 2008 apparently do not have that problem. If you can...

    Driving on continent - Xenon Lights

    Saying that, I want to be different :doh: Well, we have large family, and I own this car outright and know it inside-out. Selling it now, whatever we can get, and then trying to find equivalent on the continent will be time consuming and you wouldn't know what you buy. Also, not many GLs...

    Driving on continent - Xenon Lights

    So, there is no way to convert current lights into LHD type ones, apart from buying new set. Is that a correct statement? :dk: Same applies if you want to register EU car into UK. On GL, I have got two rear fog lamps and two reverse lights, so nothing to change at the back, fortunately...

    Resetting SRS (Air Bag) Warning Light

    It's a worth a try this method. Try disconnecting battery for about an hour and the reconnect it back. I had similar issue years ago on Fiat Barchetta when I was installing sound system and removed seat with pre-tensioner and airbag, and got warning light. Took the battery clamps off for 45...

    Driving on continent - Xenon Lights

    Spoke to service at dealership and they say it will only "straightened" beams, whatever is that supposed to mean. And you do need to take whole light units to do so, unless you are gynaecologists and and handy with some "bendy tooling".... Had anyone got any information on electronic parts...

    Driving on continent - Xenon Lights

    Hello, Does anyone know on how to adjust front lights for driving on continent on GL with Xenons? Also, if you are to move to EU on continent, can you adjust lights adjusted like that or you would need to replace front lights? Kind Regards

    Nankang Tyres

    Must be the reason due to weight of the vehicle and life expectancy of tyre under such conditions. If you take example of GL that weights 2500Kg, or Land Rover DiscoII 2300Kg, and you put soft compound, you'll get slicks pretty quick. If you use same hard compound from 20" wheels on GL on...

    Nankang Tyres

    And this is going back to the fact that some tyres suit some cars better than others. In my case, having Dunlop SP Maxx, I have very good experience with those on GL. Michelins Diamaris worn out quickly, so it must be the reason they are not making them any more. I am thinking of either...

    Nankang Tyres

    Saying that, I would say that Continental Contacts are very expensive ditch finders in my case...now that price has gone up to £214 per corner :doh:

    Nankang Tyres

    LOL, so somebody was smart (pun intended) to get rid of Continentals then as OEM tyre.... :D As to before said, R&D has been done by company, however, bean counters have more say within corporation than skilled engineers these days, and that is sad fact. AMG is no compromise, however, if you...

    Nankang Tyres

    Tough choice now... I just went to some "scoobynet" forum and there is not much love for Nankangs scoobynet nankang-ns2 One thing that I would say, tyre quality matters, however, if you drive like a total loon, then no tyre would save you. If you are driving Imprezza tuned up to the max, or...
