gl420

Hi, Just bought my first Mercedes and thought I should carry out a baseline service. Car is 2006 with 145K on it. I had a local MB non franchise garage change the gearbox fluid as this was a bit much for me. Looked at filters etc from GSF and ECP and it all seemed a bit vague and not much...

Hi, just bought a 2006 GL. Requested the service history which shows Brabus MBQ16473800 performance kit being installed in 2010 by MB. Is there any way that I can confirm this upgrade is actually installed or is it purely an ecu code upgrade? Would anything show up on a odb2 scanner or would it...

Hi I'm new here so thanks in advance for any help offered I bought a 2007 Mercedes GL420 last December, and I had a problem that has got more and more persistent the seat belt pre safe operates when I'm driving resulting in the electronic seat belt tensioner operating both driver and passenger...

Hi all, I have an issue with the mirror dip when putting it in reverse. When I select the left mirror and put it in to reverse the mirror will sometimes dip, sometimes dip halfway, a lot of the time try and move but won't and other times won't return to it's original position. I think it...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to mercs. I purchased a 2008 GL420 yesterday and have found something g that is hopefully nothing, The concern I have is with the suspension. When it is lowering the hissing sound of the air being released is quite loud (possibly louder then it should be) the best way I can...

I am after a real world mpg figure for both please, it's a vehicle that will be used to tow a heavy un aero dynamic trailer / load , I was kind of hoping the v8 could be justified as a "more suitable" and "less stressed whilst towing" vehicle that would return similar mpg under this circumstance...

Looking for one of the above . Not too particular about spec , but hopefully one with mileage less than 50K and up to 6 years old . Let me know what you have . Cheers .

I have two Mercedes vehicles which are down on performance and have mpg's 25-45% lower than when I first purchased them and I believe the issue is down to the DPF factory fitted to both. The C220 '09 Blueefficiency has been to Mercedes for a forced ReGen of the DPF after an engine management...

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on an intermittent suspension issue that triggers an malfunction car icon on the dashboard (see attached) ? While triggered suspension settings are locked in sport mode and cannot be changed to normal or comfort. Also when switching gear to parking...

Poor Olly! Yesterday he had the pleasure of changing the gearbox oil on our newly acquired GL420 CDI - the oil coming out was not only hot, but pearlescent black (and I'm being kind); the new stuff nice and pink. Prior to the change it did feel a little 'clunky', but now the Wife has had...

Hi all, considering trading in my gl 420cdi for a 2013/2014 GL 350 CDI Any thoughts on the drop in power going from a 420 CDI(4l V8) to a 350 CDI (3L V6)? Moreover seems like the Americans and Canadians have already got their hands on these, but from whatever conversations ive had we only...

Just perusing the internet this morning planning for my eventual change of car in a couple of months and I can't stop looking at ML & GL V8 CDI's and the ML63. I've got used to low 20's mpg in the Discovery, so that's not that much of a concern really, but I do like to know what I'm letting...
