wonderphil Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Hello Having just bought a 2002? ML 430, I can't get enough of it. Driving this car is sheer bliss, the road I live on has ripped holes in the fuel tank of my Kia saloon, twice. The ML sails over this treacherous terrain like a goat? ghost? There are a few squeaks and rattles on the very bad sections,but on the hiway,you can hear a digital watch tick inside the car, it's so quiet. Is the V8 suposed to be so quiet? here's a picture. Cheers. (new car 006.jpg) Attachments ---------------- new car 006.jpg (189KB - 1 downloads) | ||

wonderphil Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Hello Hello AsianML, I'm in Nelspruit South Africa. Perfect for off roading. Someone told me not to get too serious about the ML off-road," when the body twists, the back windows pop out" Can I believe this? Cheers Phil | ||

wonderphil Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Hello Thanks BenzDieselTuner. My Dad had a W123 240D (1982 ?)for many years, it was stolen in 1998. About month later it was recovered on the side of the road. The dash had been damaged to get the radio out,but after a service, radiator repair and minor detailing, he continued to use it daily.Since he died about two years ago it has become a family hierloom. still going strong. | ||
