    Never cease to be amazed at Chris,s knowledge and expertise on working on all the cars that come through your workshop, great teamwork.

    Chris is clearly an asset to the business, able to turn his hand to all aspects. Mercedes appear exceptionally complicated and that could make them a nightmare for some people. It is great that you can follow the logic along step by step through the damaged wiring and such items as the water bottle heating scheme. The project is getting there, but it shows why you keep a number of projects in hand, working on things as the spares are found. Hopefully, this one will come up trumps as usual, once you can find some sensibly priced head lamps.

    The more I see and hear Chris the happier I am. His work deserves to be seen and we need to hear what he is doing. Great content and that sure is a nice set of wheels.
    Not sure about Christmas though Rob..not for me mate, The family will enjoy elsewhere and I'll be here, on my own by choice, having a nice day.🙂🙂

    Interesting to watch, I’ve just had to replace the radiator on my E350 saloon. The worst bit for me was the transmission fluid going through the radiator and again trying to get bits! A very nice job done :-). A lovely car to drive, My now has 340,000 miles on it, the best and most reliable car I have ever owned by far!

    When the Merc arrived the damage looked pretty serious but nothing phases you guys! I know a lot of work would have happened "off camera", but a couple of video's later and the car is mainly repaired and is running and driving - result! Chris has worked his usual magic on this one and once its been to the paint shop this will be a cracking looking car. Hope some headlights turn up at sensible money!
