Hello to all - I've just joined, having bought my first Mercedes, although I've long wanted one:
I'm based in Norfolk, (UK) not too far from the US bases at Lakenheath & Mildenhall.
It's a 2005 ML 270 CDI, listed as a 'Special Edition', although its specification is a little basic, for example, it has no reversing sensors. That said, it has a 'quality' feel to it, making it feel it's here for a while. I'd previously had a series of Landrover Defenders & Discoveries, and this model was selected, amongst other considerations, to tow my wife's horsebox. I haven't yet tried that, but don't foresee any problems.
I'd like to get it as near as possible to spec, but there appear to be some missing bits, most worrying is the lack of a jack and wheelbrace, which I'm trying to source - anyone got a picture of what I should be looking for, & how it fits in the rear compartment? Also, should, (or can), it have some sort of rear internal parcel shelf or cover? The Merc currently leaves everything exposed. My Discovery II had a rollout screen which covered vulnerable contents from the eyes of passing felons. Any advice would be much appreciated.
20" on W163 20x9 ET32 motegi MR 120 rims + Cooper tires (275/45/20). No spacers, fits
20" on W163 20x9 ET32 motegi MR 120 rims + Cooper tires (275/45/20). No spacers, fits flush. Had to add hub centri rings as original rims were 66.6 and these were 73.1. Slotted/Drilled rotors. HID+LED aftermarket Headlamps
2001 Ml320 in Polar White with rust accents under the front doors, fenders and trunk haha, not to bad though. Sorry for all the pics being in super long portrait format.
First time off-road after 13 years of ownership (was my mom's before mine)
First time on a beach with the littler Rover that could (cousins ride)
2002 Ml 320 just turned over 200k miles. Mostly stock except updated sound system, added some exterior acc, and modified the exhaust with a Magnaflow and dual pipes running out behind the rear wheels.
2005 ML350 being upgraded, will sell good parts replaced.
ML350 pic taken Aug. 2019 We want to upgrade the stock 17" MB wheels and existing Bridgestone tires that have approx. 15k miles evenware/deep tread depth. Closer-up view of a nick on passenger-side wheel. We're upgrading the original headlamps and will put on Craig'sList and on this site. They are still clear, no scraches; will include new halogins if wanted.
Whats up evrybody im new to these forums, this is my 2002 ML 500 bought it back in 2004, looking fo some nice black rims to add pretty soon.
Nice Ride. I have the side nerf bars & same front grill guard. How long did it take for installation?...had em for a year & almost ready to work on it.
