I've looked through the various posts but can find no definitive answer. I have today changed the steering rack boot on a W163 ML270 and also replaced the brake discs and pads. After a drive of about 3 miles when accelerating a bit hard the BAS/ESP light has come on and will not go off upon...

What warranty usually comes with genuine parts, I replaced the 2 lower ball joints last year for the mot and one was picked up this year in October I checked it at the weekend and it is way worse and there is slight play in the other side now. They have been fitted around 14months the rubber...

Electric fan, not the viscous type. I want to replace the auxiliary drive belt, belt tensioner, and guide pulley, but all the videos are for ML's with the viscous fan. I think the electric fan and shroud will need to be removed to give enough access to these parts. I have found one...

Hi all, As above, I'm looking for a left hand drive ML500 W163. Cosmetic condition not really important. I.e, can have rust issues, etc, but ideally should be sound mechanically. (Or relatively sound mechanically), and price commensurate with condition. Would also consider an ML55 LHD...

Hi As winter creeps in we're getting the odd frosty morning. My 270 ML cdi starts perfectly on a mild day and even if left for 5 or so days but hates starting when frosty. Ive changed the glow plugs buts thats not made much of a difference is any. Any other ideas? Cheers Louis

Guys, There's a massive drone noise coming from the cabin when the blower is on in the jeep. If I turn the fan speed down, the drone remains. If I turn AC on, the drone goes away. Really annoying. Anybody any experience with this?

Hi I bought a 2003 270ML a few weeks ago and the yellow brake pad has come on and off. It has come on at odd times, once when heavily accelerated and another when the powersteering was at full lock when parking. Does this sound like its the pads or something greater?

Hi, im going to check the wiring harness for signs of damage tomorrow, does anyone know of any weak points? Or should i completly remove the harness to check it over? My ml is in limp mode and showing 0 resistance between pin 15 and 38 on the etc plugs. Thanks

Are these any good? More interested in basic user maintenance, trim, electronics, panels etc. than "oily bits" (prefer to leave them to my MB mechanic!)

Just got my first ML and the luggage cover is missing. Anybody got one gathering dust in the garage?

Hi, I've a C180k sports coupe (hatchback) and a third baby is forcing me to get a bigger car. I'm thinking a 2003 ML270. I've seen a nice one locally however it's a 5 seat and I really want a 7 seater. There are no 7 seaters for sale locally at the moment etc. The seller of the local 5 seater...

I have attached some photos of a hose/line that is attached to the oil cooler. Looks like it has aged and perished. Can anyone tell me then part number and a supplier? Would be good to know what is involved (time/parts) in the replacement. Presently getting quoted £500+ for the part...
