o.k floor sorted, have found additional electrical fault, rear door windows do not operate either up or down. Rear quarter windows do operate. I doubt this is connected with the rear tailgate issue (won't unlock electrically and rear wiper non functioning) which is still unsolved.

Would you be able to tell from my VIN if it is pre facelift?

Will 1998 ML wing mirrors fit on a 2001 ML ok, or were there changes?

From what i have read on here so far researching for my own clean, people have used, brake cleaner, oven cleaner, petrol diesel mix and EGR cleaner and steam. I am going to go for the oven or more than likely bbq spray cleaner (good for carbon) with hand held steam tool and tooth brush see how...

When you say you drilled them, did you have to use an easy out after or what other method did you use to get broken stud/bolt out?
