Patrick - the main criterion, apart from 100% reliability, is that it carry the dogs in safety. The ML is one of the very few cars for which one can purchase dog retaining nets to stop them flying around the cabin in an accident. I made a serious error in selling my original ML and I regret that...

You must be wondering why I have not mentioned anything about the new ML - and Patrick will be hanging out for pictures. Patrick loves car pictures! The answer is simple - I brought it home and sent it straight to Paradise for a complete service - check the computer codes etc. and change all...

Here are two more favourites of mine (favourites for entirely different reason) but the difference between playing them on computer speakers or through a proper hifi system in phenomonal. I have a pair of reasonably good Bose computer speakers but they don't allow all the sound to play...

Todays tell you not to drink the battery fluid... Bugger!!! Now I know where I went wrong; I never read that bit. Regards, Brian

It's a very good reason for an Italian Tune-up. However, spining out to 4000 rpm could not be called Italian.... more like a granny-run! Yes, Patrick, I believe you could be correct about another diesel in the family. More to come when it arrives. Regards, Brian

2015 Motec. Handbook instructions advise a 30 minute highway run every 2 months. The alternative is the dealer runs a special programme to burn off rubbish from the particulate filter. Regards, Brian

Oh dear! Now you tell me. I liked my diesel E Estate so much I bought another diesel Benz today. :eek::eek::eek: Regards, Brian
