ml270cdi

My radiator on the Ml had had a slight weep for some months now, nothing serious but as with all things it will need attention soon. My question is how easy is this to do as a DIY job, the Ml has other smaller radiators attached and I was thinking of building a jig to support these whilst...

My heater blower motor is making a dull noise when on, this happened on a previous car and turned out to be the bearings in the motor, I replaced these and all was well. How easy is it to get at the blower motor in the ML270CDi? I dont fancy taking the dash to bits but if its not to bad then I...

I have a problem with my ML270CDi, tonight my wife drove the car up a big hill and it would not kick down. The car is ok on the flat, will kick down and go over the 2500rpm, and go over 70mph so I don’t think the car is in limp home mode, it is still hesitant to change but drives ok. The main...
