ML270-W163
Newbie on here and to ML163

Hi All, new to this site only just found it few days back have had a few Mercedes in past W124 plus couple of W210's, but fell out of love a bit when auto g/box gave problems on the W210's a couple times, but recently been looking for a ML270 as getting a bit old to be in and out of sporty type cars and the knees not up to much (got a celica at moment as well)
found a reasonable ML270 '03 plate only 89,000 on clock some merc and independant to about early 80,000
needs a few jobs doing, so will be browsing for inf,o was couple advisory's on mot for slight corrision to brake pipe's so will check them out to see if it is slight or need replacing, needs rear pads and a good service, noticed the temp gauge reads between 40-60 C generally, so will get the thermostat housing changed as that seems to be a thing that goes reading on here
got a little bit of rust blebs at lower front of wings so will get these look at
bit of rust due to chip paint on wheel arch area so will get the Kurust on that and some underseal type thing

are there any other things to watch out for or check?

thanks in advance for any help/advice
Tony
