Hello all, I have done much searching and reading on this and other forums about retro-fitting a rear entertainment system to my W164. I'd like to fit a single screen center-console mounted pop-up style screen with DVD/Flash player but am struggling to find any kits that are suitable. I've...

Hello all, Hopefully I've got the right section of the forum for this query. Picked up my 2008 ML280 W164 couple weeks ago. I've noticed that it takes a few seconds longer to start up after it's been parked for a period. Starting after say 4 or 5 hours of last use seems to be fine, but...

I guys, newish owner of a ml280cdi 2007 model. I am shocked at the fuel economy. I have owned many 4x4s and drive them with the respect they should get, it's not a car. It's similar to the economy of my ml270 which is horrendous. My previous car was a 2005 x5 3.0d and was a lot better. It's...

Have seen this done a couple of times with people claiming they have done the mod themselves and it turns out a car shop of some sort did it. Has anyone ran "switchback DRL's" on the indicator strip at the lower part of the headlight. There are 2 tubes that carry and spread the light of the...

I I have recently bought my new toy but the parktronic is dead. It is displaying the two red lights on each display, buzzing then turning itself off on the cluster display. A trip to my local merc Indy discovered on star that the sensors were responding but the main issue seems to be that the...

Hi there. Great forum. I am thinking of trading in my s class w220 1999 (yes the first year of that shape). Before I go on, I have to say that the w220 has given me zero problems for 9 years. Absolutely amazing car. Which brings me on to why I am posting, I want to have a fairly trouble...

Hi Steve & Jackie in need of a service on ML as close to Orpington area as possible.

I was looking at a new E Class estate but cannot bring myself to shell out so much money and the car is never mine. So, I have switched targets to used Range Rover Sports and possibly an ML. Looking at this one at MB Skipton, two owners, tier one warranty, 53000 miles and about £19700...

I have a ML280 CDI 2008 and a battery warning is showing .Main battery testing fine as is alternator. I understand it may be the secondary battery that is the problem but where is it situated in the car ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Michael

Afternoon all Early today I viewed a 2006 ML with the V6 Diesel engine. On start up the glow plug light remained illuminated for a good 20+ seconds. I'm guessing this isn't good and even if it is just replacing the glow plugs this won't be cheap. Mileage wise the car was on circa 83k. Could...

Hi, I am new to the forum and have tried searching for similar issues without success. I have a 2006 ML280. The rear wiper has suddenly stopped working, but the washer jet works fine. I have referred to the user guide to try and locate the fuses, which is clear enough. However, I cannot find...
