I'm trying to get the fog lamp glass cover off to replace the bulb but but the rubber surround won't come off. Do I need to buy a replacment lamp? Thanks in advance for info.

Has anyone used the terraclean fuel system clean? I'm considering a clean for my ML55, but not if anyone has had an unsatisfactory result. My car has 130,000 miles on the clock and runs well but I'm wondering about carbon build up after all those miles.

I just copied this from Car Logbook and I don't know whether to believe it: HOW RARE IS MY MERCEDES ML55? These stats won't show how many MERCEDES ML55 were made or sold but they do show how many MERCEDES ML55 are left on the road. There are 31,344,532 cars & other vehicles with valid MOTs...

I am shopping for a 2002 ML55 rear shock absorber with spring. Having used my chassis number with suppliers, they tell me they do not have that number on their ML range of products but they've had no complaints from people that have bought the ordinary ML range of shocks from them. I know the...

Bad luck this morning en-route swimming baths when 'ping' and my power steering ceased operating. I pulled into nearby parking space and checked the engine. The fan belt had snapped cleanly so I tried spinning the various pulleys and found the belt tensioner had seized solid. The guide pulley...

Just spotted a 2001 ML55 AMG going for £10,250. Guy says it's a very rare car - and in the same paragraph says - Please do not confuse this with the tired rusty examples often seen for sale - this really is in a different league and is perfect for the collector or connoisseur. Tired rusty...

My ML55 has been parked outside for a few days and though I have never had a problem starting it, I'm wondering that if it doesn't start because of a battery problem; can I connect my battery charger without removing the battery, leaving everything intact?

I read on here that the securing clip on the ATF filler/dip-stick tube is coloured black when it leaves the factory and subsequent ATF checks by services is replaced with a red clip. Today I broke off the BLACK plastic clip, which means my gearbox hasn't been checked since leaving the factory...

I have searched through my owners manual and can't find the specs for ATF so I'm looking at Valvoline Max Life with a shot of Lubeguard Platinum to change the transmission fluid. Does anyone know of a better ATF for my car?

I have searched through my owners manual and can't find the specs for ATF so I'm looking at Valvoline Max Life with a shot of Lubeguard Platinum to change the transmission fluid. Also, I can't find the capacity how much is required to refill. I know I cannot completely drain the system so...

I was losing fluid from the join at the bottom of the expansion tank on my ML55. I bought a replacement tank but it was only when I removed the old tank I saw a rubber O ring seal, which wasn't on the new one. I called Kms who supplied it but they said the tank doesn't come with the O ring...

Just been told that AMG engines can be set to take high or low octane petrol simply by using the ignition key in 2nd mode; i.e., select 2nd mode and wait 30 seconds. Start engine and run it for 2 minutes, turn off and repeat once more. The engine is now tuned/mapped to use whatever octane petrol...

Just had a partial service (filters changed; oil changed, sparkplugs changed and a health check including scan with star)... All's well but the lesson I learned is to check my plugs before buying new ones. I guessed that after doing over 62k miles I should change the plugs. On removal of the...

Just seen a 2006 FMBSH S65 lovely condition but has 200,000 miles on the clock. One owner from new paid £165.000 for it. With 200k miles done - how long do you think before major problems with the engine? I know how long a piece of string can be but I'm curious as to what MB enthusiasts think.

I've been online shopping for Iridium spark plugs but haven't yet decided which is best for my 02 reg ML55. Europarts have Denso plugs but are nor iridium for £6.49 a plug. There are other deals on eblag but seem too good to be true so thought I'd ask on here which is the best plug for ML55...

MOT advisory states: Slight lift in both lower ball joints - slight play. I've had a quote for the job and the mechanic says that ML55 AMG have an up-rated ball joint because it is a heavy performance car and the genuine Mercedes AMG ball joints are more expensive. Is that right?

To repair a leak on the 2nd cat, it looks like the torsion bar has to be removed to get at it. This makes a big job of a normally easy job of taking off an exhaust pipe for repair or exchange. I've managed to stop the noise with a plug of gun-gum, but that won't last long... will it? It could be...

Has anyone used Fast Lane Styling of Romford for SS exhaust? My ML55 exhaust will need to be replaced possibly sooner than I think and I'm thinking about treating it to a SS job. The car is an 02 reg but is in great nick and I've had it for a couple of years now and there are not many...

Just wondering how long the drive belt on a 5.5 V8 lasts? Or maybe a better question is: how often should they be changed? I had one break on a previous car and it cost a fortune to repair the damage.

After running on cheap petrol for the past 2 years I changed to the expensive stuff and now I find a drop in performance. I ran the tank down to near empty and used a bottle of Comma Detox for enhancing performance etc. I than tanked up with the higher octane and ran it as normal, y'know...
