new 'to me' car

[EmilysDad]

Don't think I have seen one in that colour before

I did say to the salesman that I thought all Mercs were either silver or black

 

[EmilysDad]

I don't know if you're a DIY-er, but when I have researched parts for my W164, ALL parts for the W166 were miles cheaper!

Perverse but true. It could even end up being cheaper to run.....

Now, THAT's green.

I do DIY these days only when I have to ..... I've got lazy in my old(er) age

 

[keefysher]

It does have ..... I'll have to wait to find out if it's all wired up. Apparently Germans have a habit of just wiring up the lighting side of the 13 pins


It has, I thought it might go via COMAND

MB wire them up fully. Is it the electric deployed one? Switch in drivers door and tailgate. You may find you need to use the alignment tool for your 13 pin plug on the caravan more often as the socket is in the left side of the towbar 'arm'. It may well have the 'eye' to attach the breakaway cable too.

BMW & Audi tend not to wire up correctly.

Gorgeous colour and a lovely example, when do you pick it up?

You just connect the phone straight to the car via BT then, keep the cradle and sell it on here or E-Bay, people are always after them

Very nice colour, as somebody else has said, when that is polished up and the sun hits it, it should be a spectacular sight!

I can't tell is it petrol or diesel ?

Probably a diseasel as he needs a tug, BluTec too with AdBlu to keep it Euro6 compliant

 

[Yugguy]

Cool, any pics?

Next week when I get the rest of the money

I have to admit I didn't look but I think I read detachable somewhere

550 trailer coupling via the VIN

 

[EmilysDad]

Sorry no. Just the 1 I posted

Yes .... a diseasal

 

[keefysher]

Pretty well loaded Andy, offroad package, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, memory front seats.

Looks like a detachable tow bar from blurb available.

You could put E14WTF on it for £250, or ED14WTF (Emilys Dad 14 Wot The Fork) for £499, as a laugh

Enjoy

Nice looking car, and I agree about the colour, never this before on an ML.

 

[keefysher]

Have you got it yet????

 

[mercmancdi]

Lovely, good health to enjoy.

 

[EmilysDad]

Have you got it yet????

Collecting it Monday .....

Lovely new car Monday

 

[EmilysDad]

The ML has landed ..... I've even RTFM or at least some of it, though it might as well be in Swahili. Already not sure of the intelligent lighting (HID not led) .... we went to an off the beaten track pub/eatery & I wanted main beam but apparently wasn't going fast enough
