Just a little update on the problem that i'm having with my parking sensors. I thought that i would leave the sensors as they are and get them sorted in the summer. For the last few weeks i have been folding in the wing mirrors every time before turning off the ML and then before starting the...

I've noticed this too, since last year the insurance prices have gone up. I think it has got something to do with the new insurance group rating system that all insurance companies had to switch over to in December 09. They now have to use the 1-50 system so that means your group 20 car is...

My ML has factory fitted parktronic which has been working fine until recently. I got it checked out and the diagnostics show that there a couple of sensors on the front and one on the back which are faulty. To get these replaced im looking at about nearly £500 :eek: I need to get them sorted...

Nice collection but £80k.... that is crazy :eek:

Why didnt the Clio driver do the horn to get the lorry drivers attention?

lol good one :D

Thanks for all the replies and helpful info. :) The wooshing noise is pretty loud, and definitely wasn't there before, it does sound like hole in a pipe or something like that. I will get it booked and and checked out from MB as soon as i can. Will post back once i find out whats up with it.

...should i have bought an extended warranty? Hello all, i hope someone can please give me some advice with some issues with my ML. My 2004 ML270 has done 49k miles but I have owned it myself for just under a year and have hardly driven it - i have done about 3k miles in it. The ML is...

I take it that your mum currently has the W163 if its a 2003? The New shape ML W164 came out in 2006, and has just been facelifted this year with changes to lights and wheels. Here's some pics to show you the difference. Pre-facelift W164 ML Sport Facelift ML Sport Most people wouldnt...

Go for the ML320 CDI instead of the ML280 CDI, not much difference in the fuel consumption, road tax, and insurance. Have a look around and find an ML with the right spec, low mileage etc. and then haggle. Its definately the buyers market and im pretty sure you will get a good deal. If the...

Personally i dont think retrofitting the Command is worth it. I would rather buy a Tomtom is much cheaper and better. IMO of course :D However if you are about to buy a used Merc then one with factory fitted Command and Parktronic is the one to go for. If you retrofit parking sensors on the...

Welcome mate :) I was in the same boat as you a while back when looking to buy my ML. The standard model was available from 1998 and was facelifted in 2002, also it was available to order all the way up to 2005 before the W164 was produced. This facelift included changes to the front bumper and...

I'm looking to replace the wiper blades on my ML and just wanted to know what other ML owners have gone for. The AeroTwin wipers by Bosch look pretty smart and seem to be better than the standard ones. Has anyone got these? Are they any good? Also should i go for the retrofit or full...

lol oh well it was useful while it lasted. Any idea where they obtain the data from? Im sure some garages have access to stuff like this where they can put in the reg number and pull all the details, anyone know or use a system at work?

Does this still work? I have tried with a few differnt numbers but cant seem to get any results :confused:

Hi, can anyone please tell me the grade of engine oil that i need for my ML270? I have had a look at the service history book and it just lists the make that has been used (Mobil and Castrol) but not the grade. Does the engine oil need to be specific for diesels? I have a little oil left in a...

Never knew about this one, very useful thanks alot.

Cheers, very handy link. :)

Cheers for all the info. Yeah i want to get a plate that is 100% legal, with standard font, with the correct BS AU markings, and the suppliers postcode/details etc. Im not 100% sure on the MOT rules right now, as some people say that they wont fail you if it doesnt have the correct suppliers...

Will do that mate, thanks again :)
