First, let me say this is a great service being provided here !!! Well done !!

I have a 2000 ML320, engine no. 11294230657993.

Can someone recommend a good scanner or diagnostic kit?
Where can I buy it?
How much does it cost?
Cost to ship kit to Melbourne, Australia?

Thank you, in anticipation.

That is fixin' to change in the near future; and the cost will be about 20% of the others.

Do tell.

Hope I did the right thing but just placed an order for a "MULTIOBD" scanner. I understand it is OBD2 compliant and includes the 16-pin plug and an RS232 cable for connection to a PC.

I guess I am taking a gamble in this purchase because my ML320 is an Australian delivery.

Any further views or comments will be appreciated......
