Biggest concern for me would be using a 2.1 diesel in a bus really. Either that, or I’m too used to having 6+ cylinders for the last 4 or so years.

Nah. The engine has loads of torque for it’s rated towing capacity; MB diesels are really really understressed.

hope so , no rattles, so oils and filters out on weekend.and same on tranny as soon as kit arrives. i am a big believer in clean oil and in my view its the cheapest maintenance one can do. my star man,supplier sorted out my system thru teamviewer last night so ran quick test .printed and cleared . had one bounce back ,related to seat switch, wont be worrying much about that . it seems to be working

on a related subject i just fitted a towbar , but i am not settled on the universal relay wiring kit , whats the view on here , i only want to tow 2x3m trailer or 2 bike trailer, i only worry about future electrical problems with the relay causing bigger issues . i dont relish digging everything up in the car to put dedicated can bus wired harness in either ??? looked on WIS looked a right drama. i will look in the back right corner for the trailer recognition module N28/1 which quick test says is ok ,but that might be because it AINT THERE !!

Do 2011 cars have AdBlue?

Was not the introduction of 'BluTec' the designation for AdBlue equipped cars on MB? My W221 S350 BluTec, built in 2011 had AdBlue

I think so Keith- the other one which got confused with it was Blueefficiency, which was not much more than stop/start “technology”

Not sure, all the ML 350CDi are Blue Efficiency so no AdBlue and £555 a year to tax

I thought BlueTec (AdBlue) in the C class diesels only came in with the W205?
