That if you rearrange "ML 320" around a little bit, it spells "LEMON".

Lets attempt to enlighten each other with some of the more useless facts about the 163 chassis.....

I've always called my ML an MLemon.....

but grown to like it's funny little ways over the years (and trips to the shop).
BTW
My local dealer MB advised against changing the transmission fluid on our 5 year old 68,000 miles ML430,
Let sleeping dogs lie I guess...

I guess I reserve the term "Lemon" for the true disasters of the automotive world. I used to own one of the difinitive examples (1996 Range Rover). While an offroad star (when it was not in the shop), had I not bought the extended warrantee I would not be able to afford the computer I use to be part of this Forum! By comparison the ML is a Rolex.
