Hi All,
New to the site so please let me know if I am doing anything wrong (I am sure you will ;-) )
Anyway, picked up my ML270 on a 52 plate last week, 73K on the clock and seems to run very well.
My main concern is MPG, i have managed to do 300 miles to 73 Litres of Diesel .. that works out at approx 18.5 MPG :-(
I did half and half towing and reasonable runs, caravan - twin axel.
I was expecting a bit more from this based on the searches I have done on this forum, but 18.5 is way to low for my wallet !!
Also, what is the setting on the Air filter for ? Mine shows a complete RED semi circle type thing.
What should I be looking at and can anyone recommend an independent in Staffordshire / Lichfield area ?
