ml270

Hi guys After a year of comfortable motoring, I think it's time I downsized as I can't justify the size of my car for what I use it for. It's Blue, with mot, won't have tax when I sell as it's registered disabled class, leather interior, family pack 7 seater, 150k odd miles, command sat...

Taking my car to Eastnor castle on the land rover test track, does anyone know what depth of water i can take it through? last time we went through 750mm but there is 1000mm.

Hello I've just joined the club as just purchased a ML270 2004 Which I collect tomorrow. Can anyone tell me where the spare wheel is located or is there a inflation kit? Thanks

Hi all, A friend of mine is thinking of getting an ml270 for the school run, are their any known problems we should look out for? I'm not worried about the "black death" issue, but I've not worked on many ml's so would welcome any hints and tips on things we should watch out for...

Hi all, Just got back from a 1200 mile trip to Centre Parcs in France, all at a rather reduced pace due to the ML going on limp mode the day before we were due to leave! Had no other choice but to take her as there were 7 of us. It survived the trip and even managed 26 mpg with a roof bag...

Hi, My Ml 270 has developed a problem causing it to not start when hot or warm. The engine turns over but will not fire, like it's not getting fuel. Local garage has scanned the vehicle and found no faults which would cause the problem. Has anyone had this problem before? If so what...

Hi all I know that my inlet manifold/swirl flaps are very probably worn out - poor performance, oil down side of engine block etc. Not knowing a vast amount about the inlet manifold, if I do the EGR blocking off and electrical modification, would it be necessary for me to also replace the...

Hi all Recently noticed that the engine dipstick on my ML270 is the wrong one! It doesn't fit the pipe at the top and the reading it gives doesn't tally with the dashboard oil level reading. So I can only assume that a garage lost it in the past and put one in off another vehicle... I can't...

Hi all As title suggests I finished work this morning and my car refused to start. All the lights come on as normal but when the key is turned to start there is nothing. It's not even trying to turn over. Car has now been left on works car park and I was forced to get the bus home. Apart from...

A work colleague is maybe getting one of these. I think the insurance is likely to put her off going from a 1.6 petrol to a 2.7 5 cyl but nevertheless, should the insurance be acceptable, are there any other gotchas with these? I understand from this forum that the 270 engine is very...

Ok guys, just bought this car, 98,000m been back to garage several times now, and been told the problem is fixed... but it keeps coming back.. getting a bit tedious now!! Any help or advice would be gratefully received. Ordinary driving, any condition, after about 20min the BAS/ESP and ECP...

Hi all panason1c came over today and did some work on my ML270, what a top guy! We were trying to connect his diagnostics box to the car but every time it hung whilst trying to communicate with module 6, whatever that is. His box of tricks has had no problems reading his ML270 and both...

I'm looking into the purchase of a Brabus ML270 and was after a bit of advise, and guidance? I've only seen a couple of these advertised with the brabus body kit on so I am assuming they are quite rare? Do any of you guys on her own one? Do they command a premium price as there rare or dies...

Hello, My first post on here, I have been lurching for a while and have really enjoyed the wealth of information Cheers ! Firstly i bought my first MERC ML 270 CDI - 2002 6 Months ago. It discovered (or i noticed) it was ticking. This turned out to be a incorrectly seated injector. I managed...

Hi all Our ML270 has a distinct 'whine' to it as you drive. The noise is present regardless of engine revs, coasting or accelerating. Not loud and seems to come from all around. Not long after buying the ML I changed all the tyres to budget ATs made by Infinity. I'm just wondering if it could...
