    Engine not accelerating past 40mph

    I was driving quite casually for a while in my W221, and then when I finally got some space I decided to accelerate at around the 40 mark and noticed no power was felt, the rev meter almost stayed at 2 revs if not lower and the car slowly accelerated. I even put my foot down to the floor and...

    ML63 - How bad is not getting it serviced past the service reminder

    Hi, How bad is it for an ML63 not to be serviced 150 days past when its saying it should be serviced? I am assuming "Service E" stands for emergency :). I could really do with chancing it to about 200 days. But if that is a really bad idea please let me know :doh:. Thanks.
