Hi, while trying to replace the sidelights on my 2006 GL (why is this so difficult?) I noticed a loose 3 pin connector on the loom behind each headlight unit. Looks like they have not been connected to anything for some time and all the lights work ok so has anyone got an idea? Seems odd for...

Looking for advice on heavy steering issue. Three weeks ago towed caravan with family (and kitchen sink, Et Al all camping stuff) to Brittany for summer Hols. 500 mile trip there, the GL just ate it up! Whilst out there a few days after arriving and now running solo unhitched, I noticed after...

Hi I'm at a loss at my new gl The air suspension compressor is not cutting in I've got a fault code 5400 which is a faulty compressor But I've put 2 second hand ones on and still got the fault code But there is no power going to the compressor if I jump the relay the compressor powers up...

Hi I know this is long shot but I have a 2009 Gl320 that's had a front end crash That I'm repairing I found a facelift front bumper that fits but the parking sensors are different Also the loom looks different what would I need to make the system work Any ideas or wisdom would be really...

Hi, got a 2006 GL with150k on the clock. Lovely car in many ways but has speed sensor fault in gearbox. Question is: is it worth fixing or should I just move it on? Can drive it at the moment as fault is intermittent, but guess that it will get worse to a point where action is required...

Have very poor FM in 2006 GL. Thinking of fitting aerial (FM/DAB) above front courtesy light rather than messing about with rubbish rear heater system. Any thoughts? Cheers Andy

Hi, 2006 GL inspection advised that front hoses were replaced. Is this a straightforward job or is there anything I should look out for when doing this one myself?

Hi, 2006 GL having intermittent shift problems. Cycling ignition cures the problem and using the m/s button seems to bring the change issues on. Any ideas?

Hi, Had a look underneath my 2006 ML and was surprised to see significant corrosion on the rear sub-frame and on the floor around the sub-frame mounting points. Neither area is in a position that gets a lot of spray so I was a little surprised. If left untreated I think this would cause...

Hi, Looking to replace nasty plastic pins om 2006 GL. Any ideas other than ridiculous £100 AMG ones? thanks Andy

Hi, Just bought a 2006 GL with an aftermarket DVD multi disc and rear head rest monitors. DVD unit by Veba but no remote. Tried good local ICE shop who got a remote but no joy. Unit loads but that's it. Decided to try a non DVD solution without spending lots, as I'm not sure how much...

Hi, Just bought my first Mercedes and thought I should carry out a baseline service. Car is 2006 with 145K on it. I had a local MB non franchise garage change the gearbox fluid as this was a bit much for me. Looked at filters etc from GSF and ECP and it all seemed a bit vague and not much...

Hi, I've just bought a 2006 GL with fairly tired suspension. Usual creaks and groans but the air suspension is working fine. The bushes in the lower arms in each corner are probably well worn and along with the ball joints need to be replaced. Any thoughts on replacing the complete front...

Hi all Im new to this forum but a member of 6speed, benzworld, MBworld etc. Im hoping for some advice local to the UK for my 2011 GL500 because the front suspension knocks over potholes, speed bumps etc. and it also groans like an old wooden sideboard when Im on the brakes slowing to a stop...

Hi forum! I wonder if someone knows some details regarding retrofitting a reversing camera on R, ML or GL (guess it's exactly the same)? On my R350 (2006) the chrome list in the back didn't have a pre-cut hole, therefore I bought a used chrome list which has this (think it was from a...

I have two Mercedes vehicles which are down on performance and have mpg's 25-45% lower than when I first purchased them and I believe the issue is down to the DPF factory fitted to both. The C220 '09 Blueefficiency has been to Mercedes for a forced ReGen of the DPF after an engine management...

Here we go again, Not even a month passed since valve body has been replaced on gearbox, I got glow plug light on. Engine starts normally, however, after engine starts, glow plug light stays on until engine temperature reaches something between 70-80C. No light shown after that, unless...

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on an intermittent suspension issue that triggers an malfunction car icon on the dashboard (see attached) ? While triggered suspension settings are locked in sport mode and cannot be changed to normal or comfort. Also when switching gear to parking...
