new 'to me' car

[grayb]

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

The main beam thing is an issue on country lanes etc. Just a quick turn of the lights master switch from 'A' to 'Headlamps' sorts it out. On the open road I use ILS quite a lot.

Is the first time you have owned an ML? What are they like to drive, I know they get mixed opinions, but I like them.

I've not had a ML before, though I had a R Class that used a ML floor pan & drive

It certainly shifts when the loud pedal is fully pressed.

Congrats on the new motor.

Would be great to send over a few pics when you have a moment. Interested to see its interior.

Very nice Motor , in a lovely colour... you didn’t have to sell your house to make the purchase I take it ( just saw the Sold board in pictures) lol.

That's next door ..... I think it's due to them living next door to what looks a NCP car park

We actually go away next week. I've even discovered that you can alter the angle of camera view to aid hitching up to the inbuilt towbar (if I can find the menu screen again .... )

Test drove a ML350 today & put a deposit on it. ....

Just noticed it's doing its impression of the Torrey Canyon on my drive ...... Engine under trays are pi$$ed wet through with oil
