Hi Spook,

What year ML was it? the W163 (pre 2005) was known to have a few problems. The updated W164 (2005 to current) is supposed to have fixed Mercedes quality issues and is supposed to be pretty reliable. I did a lot of reading the forums and reviews before I settled on one.

I was actually thinking about getting the Porsche Cayenne Turbo for a while. I figured I could live with the looks for the sake of that performance (Keep my eyes closed till I got in it). Common sense prevailed and the ML was a bit more practical.

The Pursuit is a fun car I had a Tickford Pursuit 250 before the Land Rover. That was the last of the Windsor motors and the hottest one they made. They stroked them to 347 cubes from the factory. It was a laugh to drive as it didn't have traction control. That was an odd omission by the factory in my opinion since the sedan version had it and the ute was probably more likely to loose traction.

Which motor did you get in the F250?

Cheers
