Chaps The missus W168 A160 has had an engine management light on since we bought it a few months ago. We only paid £500 for it considering it has full service, low miles and good condition. The car drove spot on and still does after doing well over 1000 miles now. I bought an eBay fault...

Cheers guys for the pointers. I know with my old E300 the metal was crap and rusted out all over - i think an era of using low grade crap polish metal? Does the ML suffer this same fate or did they change it to quality metal for these cars?

Chaps I had a E300TD a little while ago and had bad luck with it. Ive since been driving an Audi A3 2.0 tdi but I lust for another Mercedes! Im interested in the ML270cdi. Is it nice to live with? I mainly drive at 70mph commuting.. Im looking at the 5-6k mark early 2000's / sub 100k miles...

Thanks Dieselman for eventually giving your opinion. I had indeed opened the bonnet and everything looks as it should.. I will first check the boost hoses for splits/popped off etc. Im glad the concensus is that the turbo 'should' be ok as that was my main concern. Il let you know how I get on!

and am i safe continuing to drive it?

Hey guys just got home from work and after 10 mins driving (so the car was warm) i stuck my foot down to take over a truck and whilst overtaking i heard a metallic 'crack' and then i lost power... no smoke and no further problems? no overheating just loss of power.. i no longer get the whoosh...

I think the new standard A class is a nice car.. This AMG version will only be better!

I quite like it?

Welcome mate! Ive recently bought my first Merc, but im behind you with V8 - one day I hope!

Cool - would you have a link to what I need and to purchase?

are the pipes an easy/cheap fix?

Chaps When I first start the car, the engine seems to struggle to fire up and tick over / It sounds horrible etc But after about 5 seconds, it seems to have coughed it through and then runs fine? What could it be? The previous owner said it just needs a service and nes glow plugs? Cheers

Just in case someone else needed one eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

So I attacked the front drivers side arch... I first grinded out all the rust. Using POR15 products I cleaned, prepped and painted. Which looked like this I bought a set of these off ebay painted them up and fitted. They look 'ok'....Better than before....a tenth the cost at getting them...

the key is only ging in about 1 cm..not all the way in? Ive been soaking it with WD40 for the last 2 hours and no progress. It open on my key fob this morning? I have been working in my boot all day. Laying sound deadening.. The air pipe was off earlier (feeding the rear head rests) but ive put...

ive soaked the outside/inside the lock but no luck

Chaps My boot wont open? Ive tried the key fob.. Ive tried the interior pull button but no luck? The little red light and the inside boot light are on - meaning it thinks its open already but not? I tried my key (plus 2 spares) but the key wont go in the boot lock? The boot manual button goes...

I just dismiss those type of adverts straight away. I used to see a lot of classifieds on ebay for cars that were way to cheap. All similar/but not the same seller - some random letters followed by random numbers. I wondnt be suprised if this one is a gangster waiting to take your money having...

I could build a shelf - flip it correct way and suspend it allowing some breathing space Cheers all

Hello Am I safe to fix an amp upside down under the rear shelf? Or would it overheat? Cheers
