Hi from Scotland

Hi everyone, I bought a 2003 ML270 last week....108k on the clock, hadn’t been looked after for a couple of years, anyway, I’ve just finished a list of jobs and now she’s running great! Here’s a couple of pics...if anyone is interested I can post a list of faults I found and now I fixed them, none were very difficult but seemingly quite common!
cheers, John

Welcome aboard! I'm finding that these cars, whilst not as easy to work on as a Ford or Chevy, they're really not that hard to do things on. Just requires a little more thought and attention to detail. Nice automobile!

Thanks for the welcomes everyone, and the ML is running really well now, after a few initial faults, all of which were easy fixes! Have my eye in a classic Benz now.....!
