Routine Maintenance
Did the following work the past couple of days as I had time:
Spark Plugs (Bosch Platinum +4) Front Diff Fluid (Redline 75w-90 synthetic) Read Diff Fluid (Redline 75w-90 synthetic) Transfer Case (Redline ATF systhetic) Gotta love not having to jack a car to work underneath! Fluid work was very straight-forward. Spark plugs were kind of a pain, the pax side was easier than the drivers side, which was the opposite of what i expected. 2 hours for the plugs working slowly. Careful levering the metal boots out, I broke one. That was a bit nerve racking, but I got it sorted out. WD-40 on the metal boots is a must to loosen. I pity the fools who wait to 100k to replace, as mine were already starting to rust to the head @ 50k. Save yourself alot of heartache in the future, use anti-sieze on those new plugs! For those that missed this in the past, see the attachments. Spark Plugs = http://mbnz.org/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1171331&posts=22&hl=spark+plug Dickie 00 ML 320 97 BMW 328i |

Pages
Are the pages too small for all to "save as" and print out?
Lemme know and I will email to all who want them. Dickie 00 ML 320 97 328i Update: I did the coolant change following Gilly's write up here. Easy job. If you skip the block, 1 gal Mercedes coolant and 1 gal distilled water are good for the job. I also turkey basted the brake reservoir and refilled with Castrol GT DOT 3/4+ fluid for the second time since I bought the ML in June. Poor mans/kluge way to change the brake fluid. |

Those pages look like they're from a magazine article. I'm still in search of a manual for my friend's 98 ML320 much like my W124 CD manual. He has a number of body electrical issues that need to be diagnosed. I can't do it without a manual. Why isn't one available for the DIYer with a 7-year-old model?
