Good afternoon all,

Have picked up a new to me 2008 GL420 and wanted to join a forum to speak and see any advice from fellow owners!

Have had the car in the garage already (I bought it basically unseen, work away alot so was the only choice!), and it is needing some work but getting there.

Had the rear SAM fail, gearbox oil pan changed and will need some bags at the rear but overall the cars in good shape and just needs some love! It will get there in the end! Most important is its in good shape underneath and has had alot of money spent on it at some point!

Look forward to chatting with you all !

Cheers

Danny

Welcome.
Sounds like generic wear and tear. Glad you’re happy with it and it serves you well.

Not too many pics just yet but have been detailing the interior and this is what has been achieved whilst the kids were napping..

Interior needs alot of deep cleaning but I'll get there
