You guys are absolutely incredible together, my wife hates car videos but she will only watch you guys cause you guys are so entertaining. Anyone who can work on a LR is an absolute genius
I don’t think anyone minds a bit of Deutsch on the videos, quite the opposite. Having said that your English is considerably better than most native-speaking automotive RUclipsrs. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the sunshine! Grüße aus Frankfurt
@@Vera_and_Christian Sometimes I think Christian sounds a bit like Arnold Swarzenegger (but he doesn’t have the physique) Vera on the other hand, fortunately sounds nothing like him, but……….. 😊 ❤❤❤
The A/B class while absolutely awful to work on saved my families lives. The engine etc is at 19deg and the car has basically two floors. Engine/gearbox go under the car in cash. Drunk lady in a VW Towrag drove directly into them at speed. One destroyed A-class but alive wife and kids.
The car has many remarkable features. Safety of the B-Class is why we bought it for our son Robin about 2 years ago. Sad that Mercedes did not get as rich as they planned and stopped production. Christian
This shows how intricate (and hard to repair) modern cars have become. My son's 2008 Passat is in a similar state with a leaky tandem pump. Worth $5k, maybe and $3k to fix. My third attempt with new bolts and a new gasket, other wise......It is a lovely car, paint in top condition, upholstery excellent. Be a shame to dispose of it.
Well I have my weekly fix of LR Time with Vera and Christian....the humour is additive...that is why I watch every Sunday.. Many thanks to the perfect TEAM..
Hi all, talking about high mileage engines, I once had a MK2 Sierra 1800 CVH engine used as a minicab (unlicensed Taxi at that time) that done 300.000 Miles not Ks. like all my Cabs I had a strict routine of oil changes every 5000 miles. But came every 5 weeks. lol Was before synthetics so I used Castrol GTX. I sold the car at 300.000 but it still ran like new, almost. One of Fords better engines of Its time. Anyway, thanks for the "Merc" video all.
Again, a great video, this time with probably the best maintained early model B class as the star of this episode. When i see this type of collaboration between parents and their son, that't quality time together well spend. Robin is the silent type, but also a talented hard working guy. Makes a parent proud... Great (classic) remarks where made during this weekend, no Toyota was harmed...
Harbor Freight super slim ratchet is a wonderful tool. On my last visit to the USA I bought 10 of them to bring back to New Zealand for friebds some od whom have their own garages. Great video guys always look forward to Sunday night here in NZ to watch you guys.
Thanks for showing how complicated a Mercedes B class is to repair. Nice to see something other than a Land Rover product. Given what you said about dealer prices to repair this, how much did you spend? You have replaced seals which a dealer would not. 😀😀👍👍
I cannot remember the last time I have had so much enjoyment/fun watching a car repair video. The supervision and technical narration was second to none. Why can’t ALL car repair videos be like this? Oh, one thing about the language reminder, some English people ARE multi lingual, not all I admit. Thanks for a super video…..Regards.
« Land Rover is much easier to fix » Well you took the example of the hardest Mercedes to work on : w245 / w169 ! These cars are nightmares for mecanichs with their weird architecture ! Great job
what better than a sunday morning with a good strong coffee and an LR Time video.... impressive robin to hold a gearbox away from your body to the engine.
Most people do not know that Renault-Nissan has a 4% partnership stock share with Mercedez and the smaller engines in Mercs are sometimes Renault engines
Last year repaired Nissan Nv200 that my friends in France would rev the same as the motorbike....1.5dci completely destroyed...the egr bracket or lifting brackets had Mercedes insignia and A0 part numbers.... The Mercedes concessionaire always horrified when ive pointed out it's a Dacia gearbox theyve just taken out😂😂
@@marcmorris-kb9ry in South Africa, where the 1.5 diesel engine is highly regarded. The Duster is available here, but it's branded under Renault, as Dacia branding doesn't exist here. The NV NP model is under Nissan. They all use that engine
Good evening Vera & Christian 😊 I couldn’t miss an episode even though we’re on holiday in Marmaris 👍🏻 Nice hair cut Christian 🤣 Lovely seeing Robin working with you both . Nice fix that most people wouldn’t even consider in today’s world 🙄 Hug for Vera xx🏴
That is very weird to see a Mercedes on your ramp love the content in a matter of people that make them thank yeah for taking time to make us All happy LR Time 💯👍
Saved! Such a lot of work that'd not have been needed, had the original manufacturer put a few more grammes of material into that starter motor nose. Another example of things being built too light.
Trotz Mercedes, ein super Video. Eure Kommentare sind einfach herrlich 😊 aber bitte kauft dem jungen einen Allrad von Landrover... Schön wäre ein Freelander 2 oder Discovery Sport... Das wäre auch bestimmt sehr unterhaltsam 😅
Der Freelander kostet an Versicherung und Steuer annähernd soviel wie der Disco 3. Der Robin will auch ein zuverlässiger Handwerker Bus, wird wohl unsere erster Toyota werden.😅🫣🙋♀️
You could have hours of fun with a 2.0 diesel ingenium based Evoque!! Get one with timing chain problems and rebuild it. My 2.2 engined one is superb as it has a timing belt and reliable. I do change all the oil and filters every 6 months.
I thought i was doing well taking off the battery cover and connecting the battery charger 😊. All the best from England. ( with no coal money for the winter)
Desktop mechanic here 😂 - I would reserve your Makita cordless wrench to where space is very limited - if you can use an extension - you can use a regular impact driver which are much stronger than cordless wrenches!
met a mechanic from MB who said ever since the vans came out, it was a nightmare for MB as people were buying entry level product and first time in the shop they get price shock and end up turning them back in. Lots of reflashes on the late model diesels also. On Transmission reinstall, use a long starter bolt with head cut off, so you get the bolt to screw in a top bolt hole and you can set the trans on the bolt and slide it into place, Making sure as you did with cleaning surfaces is important as many times the ground cable connects on the transmission, so you want no corrosion throughout the engine compartment. especially on aluminum to steel points
Thanks for the gift certificate. I bought two awesome pants. Wear them every day. Working on a vacuum pump right now and got 3 more hours to go. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Awesome, it's my pleasure! Glad you found some good stuff you can use and enjoying them. Thanks for the laughter and adventures every Sunday!
When these manufactures design stuff like, this they keep forgetting some poor sole has to try and fix it. I think it is so you need to take to the dealer and spend shocking amounts on labour. Keep up the good work .
I love your precise approach, but at 13:27 the crankshaft seal gets installed dry? That triggers my Engineering sensibilities for sure. I don’t think I could resist a smear of benign silicon grease on there 😮 Love all your work by the way. I’m an ‘experienced amateur’ LR and Subaru mechanic with a full home workshop including a hydraulic lift; with mechanical stops. Your comments about the electric screw type are interesting… I’ve now accepted it’s time to move on from my 1995 V8 Discovery and 2000 Forester Turbo GT to a LR Defender P400e PHEV now 3 months old. I love the Defender, but I can’t let go of the Disco or Forester just yet ☺️ Cheers from Melbourne Australia and keep showing us what you and Vera and Co are doing!
R- bless, you can tell that Christian just wants an easy life, (happy wife is easy life), Vera said we are working on the B Class this weekend OMG, but really we know that Vera just swap over the badges from Mercedes to Land Rover hoping that Christian wouldn’t notice it, as usual video good entertainment on a Sunday😂.

I tuned in for LR Time not MB Time ....fortunately the main characters are the same, fabulous and always fun to watch.🤩
"It's not broken, it's Chinese."🤣 A very Christian comment.
Yes!😆I'm stealing it!
Chinese things are so random. Some are fine, others are terrible, you just never know.
Serious question, what does, "A very Christian comment", mean?
@@gottliebdee263 serious answer, it has nothing to do with religion. Find out who owns the channel.
@@sheerluckholmes5468 No dude, a serious answer would have been to actually answer. Not to give out homework.

What a great youtube channel. Not only am I learning about my Disco 4, my high school German - that I barely passed 44 years ago - is coming back.😅
😅💪💪🙋♀️
Another enjoyable Sunday watching an educational video even though i'm no armchair mechanic, I've only been doing it hands on for nearly 50 years
💪💪👌🙋♀️
Mechanical geniuses - you guys make it look simple.
5am Sunday morning having coffee watching Vera and Christian , what more could you ask for !
Hi all, talking about high mileage engines, I once had a MK2 Sierra 1800 CVH engine used as a minicab (unlicensed Taxi at that time) that done 300.000 Miles not Ks. like all my Cabs I had a strict routine of oil changes every 5000 miles.

Ohh I wanted one of those before they stop selling them in Canada. Now I am glad I can't get one. thank you for the video. Always a joy to watch you
Amazing! Nice teamwork! Glad you could make/modify some tools to help with the assembly.
Great to see Robin part of the dynamic duo fully involved. Mercedes/ Landrover what next the world!!
Robin main character , quiet and still behind a scene. Like a driver with a white helmet in Top Gear.
Es ist großartig, dass Sie drei zum Wohle von uns faulen Ausländern Englisch sprechen. Es ist immer eine Freude, deine Videos anzuschauen.
Such a brilliantly constructed video Vera , well done.
You guys take fixing a car to a new art form, simply the most entertainment youtube channel.
Ooooh, I now notice the licence plate. Dirt 404. Dirt not found.... 😂 Genius!!!
I was feeling satisfied about fixing a broken armrest on my chair until I watched this video.
Amazing work, as usual. 👍

What I enjoy about your shows is the way you talk through your thought chain. Thank you.
Christian is not a car mechanic; he is a professional car surgeon!
Great to see Robin using what looked like a blacksmith hammer on the exhaust flange!
He is a blacksmiths👍👌🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian Yes, I know. That's why it's so cool to see him using his tools on the car.

Love it how u guys tackle any automotive job with ease. great work
I’ve never heard of the starter damaging other parts before but yours is the second one I’ve heard of in the last two weeks!!
Enjoyed the variety of the b class work. Good to see the three of you working together!
No criticism, the best repair videos on utube
Egal was ihr Repariert, es ist immer lustig, unterhaltsam und informativ. Ausserdem, professionell und perfekt. Schönen Sonntag
Vielen Dank 🙏
Wow, what a lot of work just to replace the clutch! Robin seemed pleased 😂
"Oh shit" to put it politely Vera! Super efficient and entertaining and another car saved from the scrap heap!
"The clip is made so that you don't need tools, but when it breaks you need a new radiator!" Classic Christian humour 😂😂😂
Came into the shop for a side light bulb and ended up with a new clutch 😂😂😂😂
Love LR Time ❤ videos, that did look stressful
“Like win ass-kicking contest with one leg.” 😂😂😂
Great vid as always, and nice to see Robin :)
Thanks for showing how complicated a Mercedes B class is to repair. Nice to see something other than a Land Rover product. Given what you said about dealer prices to repair this, how much did you spend? You have replaced seals which a dealer would not. 😀😀👍👍

Well you took the example of the hardest Mercedes to work on : w245 / w169 !
These cars are nightmares for mecanichs with their weird architecture !
Great job
I love the ‘I’ll never use it again’ tool box. I’ve got one of those.
I like the way Robin avoids to become a known face on RUclips😅. What a nice Father Son Teamworkjob. Thank you for sharing!
what better than a sunday morning with a good strong coffee and an LR Time video.... impressive robin to hold a gearbox away from your body to the engine.
Thanks for another great video ! Enjoy your sunny Sunday !!!
Morning from Oreland. I just changed rear shocks on my Mazda 3. Inspired by Vera. It took 2 days to take off one shock😂😂😂
😅OMG🙋♀️
Yes Vera. It was aluminium to steel. I can send you pictures. It was terrible but fun😂😂😂@@Vera_and_Christian
Some nice cranking there men.
Well supervised Vera.
Thats the most stressful Sunday ive ever had.Well`done Christian amazing.😂😂😂
Another great DIY job Christian.
When Dave gets off work from Dave's Auto Center, he's probably turning on LR Time to learn a few things.
Another great off topic video. Unreal how much work is required just for a starter replacement. Have a great day guys 👍
Смотрю вас из России, как бывший сотрудник, бывшего официального дилера Land Rover скажу вы молодцы!

Im watching this on a train 🚆 going to dortmund then dusseldorf, last night in Germany, and enjoying your video.

Watch all your videos and love the content..but this was very satisfying to watch..excellent video
MB TIME. Excellent video. It was wise to replace that input shaft seal. It was too Oh-My-God to get this far in and take a chance.
Good morning everyone 🏴🏴🏴
And a good morning to you 🏴🏴
Saved!
Such a lot of work that'd not have been needed, had the original manufacturer put a few more grammes of material into that starter motor nose. Another example of things being built too light.
Good morning to you both from sunny Suffolk, hope you’re having a good day.
Great video today, was looking for it the whole weekend.
Have a good week guys. :)
Excellent as always. I’ll stick with my D3 as long as I can, especially as all the rusty bits have been replaced now.

Land Rover doesn’t seem so bad after that debacle 😉
Yes, Robin is vey lucky, but of course he will be helping you with next heavy metal project!
Oh Vera's God, you are a good dad Christian.
