420

Spotted in shops not too far from me a CL 420 ( 1997 model ) and a CL 500 ( 2000 model year ) that look quite good, 420 low mileage and bodywork looks good too. Question is can any of you experts out there advise on what to look for on these models. Is a W140 CL 420 a better buy than the 215 and...

Hi guys, wondered if anyone may help... I have seen (but not yet driven) a 58reg ML320 with Brabus chip (though in one pic there is a unit in the engine labelled Brabus too, so not sure if it is just a chip or what!!??) My question is, would an ML420 be quicker than this ML320? I know its a...

Hi all the new cl 420 has a pretty serious misfire - i think it could be two cylinders. It started a day after i bought it and has remained. This is the first do-er upper I've had which doesn't have a dizzy. The car had been laid up for years then put into MB to recommission, from where...

HI I've had my 420 sec for about 3 weeks now. Its been running fine and i've done about 1000 miles in it. I jumped in it outside work before and as soon as I started it the revs rose to 1900 rpm and the ABS light remained illuminated. I checked all the throttle linkages, all the fuses...

I got my new ML 420 CDi yesterday. Beautiful car. :cool: Spent the evening reading the manual. Tried to figure out how to bring up the outside temperature on the computer read-out on the dash and it appears it can't be done in the UK! Incredible. I spend £57k on a new car and it hasn't got a...

I just picked up my new ML 420 CDi this morning. After 6 years with an E Class I thought I'd like to drive an M Class before they get taxed out of existence. So I'm sitting here looking forward to upcoming my trip to France and it suddenly dawns on me. I booked the tunnel when I had an E...
