So now the pressure is on us!! We have to get some posts back up here.
 
So how about those Cal Bears losing to Arizona? Oops, wrong forum.
 
Thanks, Tidester. Smart move on your part. If someone doesn't like this forum they don't have to visit it. For those of us who appreciate the conversational flow and the valuable tidbits re certain models, the general forums are the only place where that can happen.
 
Good thing I had my email tracker still on, or I never would have known this was reopened. I just hope we haven't permanently lost too many people.

Bingo! Glad I didn't change mine either. Yeah I have a feeling a lot of folks have left so it may take a while for it to get around that certain threads have been re-opened.

ML 500 Update by palmharbor
Jun 14, 2007 (9:47 am)

My ML500 is now 23 months old with 20,500 miles. After a rocky start with the transmission, I now find it quite good, and don't think that there is any other SUV in its size that I would prefer. I did try out a diesel the other day, and was quite impressed with the performance.
 
I replaced the tires this past week although I probably could have gotten another couple of thousand miles on the original continentals. I put on a set of Michelins new luxury crossover tires, V rated, for $1007 at Costco. What was disappointing at Costco was the wheel balancing. When they balanced the new tires, they naturally removed the factory weights, but didn't remove the old adhesive, which leaves an ugly black strip on the silver wheels. Costco won't remove it, as they claim they don't know how to do it without possibly damaging the finish, which I think is BS. The tire technician suggested using acetone or paint remover, but said on his own car he uses his fingernails. I tried that, but it didn't work. Costco has a good price on the tires, but I would take them to the MB dealer for mounting after this experience. Does anyone know a safe way to remove the adhesive?

Try WD-40...spray it on and let sit for a minute, then wipe off.

Have the same vehicle with the same transmission problem. I would LOVE to receive a copy of the service sheet showing what was done to correct it. (888) 664-1999. Thanks.

Considering a 2007 ML350 by losttooth

I have a 2000 ML320 with about 82K miles. It's been a good vehicle, but starting to have more and more problems. I have been offered a great deal on a 2007 ML350, but am curious about reliability. Obviously that has been a major issue in the past.

Wood and Leather Wheel by paultano

I'm new to Mercedes, new to the board and have a question for those with a bit more experience.
 
My 2006 ML has the birdseye maple finish with an all leather steering wheel. I want to upgrade to a wooden wheel but only see the option with burl walnut. When looking at the options on the '08 I see it is available with the birdseye but when it gives a description it mentions the burl. My question is, has anyone ever seen a maple wood and leather wheel out there or know if one is available?
 
I would appreciate any feedback you can give, Thanks

The ML was redesigned in 2006 to a completely different vehicle. It is unibody now and drives much like a car instaed of a truck. I own an 06 350 and Love it. If you look at the reviews on the 2006-08s you'll see how the reliability issues have drastically improved as well. I suggest you test drive the 07 and you'll see the difference from your older model. Now is the perfect time to deal. I bought mine in December last year and got a great deal. Good luck.

Running boards for ML by chint
Feb 21, 2008 (6:10 pm)
Reply
I recently traded my R for a new ML320 CDI . I find it little difficult getting in and out of ML without side steps or running boards as ML has little higher ground clearence than the R.
 
The cost for the delaer installed option when purchasing was 510 ( Free installation) Unfortunately the dealer had the part on order and I did'nt want to wait
 
But now when I enquired my local dealer about the running boards he says the price is 940 + installation
 
Any recomendations on where to get the running board ( the new aluminium ones with black spots)
