2011 gl 450
Newbie

Hello and thanks for the help. I have 2011 GL 450 with 102,0000 miles.
I'm in Texas and learning thru all of you on how to DIY on my GL. Love the car, bought it for my wife with about 48,000 miles on it a few years back. I'm determined to drive it and hit the 200,000 mile mark on it one day. I'm currently
Repairing some suspension issues and about to start back on the work myself within the next hour. Wish me luck and keep the knowledge and advice coming. I'm gonna need all the help I can receive as I learn my way thru this GL. GL.

Welcome to MBWorld. Good luck with hitting that 200K milestone! with good care should easily hit that mark. What suspension issue are you tackling?

Let us know if we can help you out with any aftermarket lighting upgrades? Front parking lights are a very common upgrade changing out that dingy yellowish bulb to newer modern white LEDs. Plug and play

2011 gl 450
I gave in, had trouble reaching valve block without pulling bumper
Sent to Indy shop, was just the right rear not raising now it's both rear
I'm sure it's the valve block solenoid, I just ran out of time to work on the gl
And need the car on the road. Hope they don't kill me with price to fix.
