That’s worthy of been a planet of dreams car but Calvin gives away £12k cars for free 🤣 madness but so much respect to Calvin for what he does. Positive geezer 👊🏾
I'm old enough to remember when Autotrader was in paper format that came out weekly! I think it was regional so the cars advertised were only seen in a fairly local area certainly not UK wide. Hard to imagine that was how a lot of cars used to be brought and sold.
Great work Calvin m8...nice £830 profit after replacing the air flow part...Great video and loving your work and content...look forward to the next video...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There’s a bunch of Mercedes folk out there on the Mercedes forums that would be interested in a low mileage W203 once it’s fixed. They are a far superior drive to most regular new cars. Might be worth lobbing some info for free on those Merc forums and try and maximize profit.
That was well worth a punt some times it's the simple things that can make you more money. I've just brought a BMW 318i estate for £550 all it needed was a clutch that cost me £380 runs perfect
Can't believe the guy did not replace that maf sensor, seeing he buys from copart and owns a scan tool. Maybe some unrepaired structual damage under that wing he put on.
All car dealers will remember getting up at 6am and driving to the shop that got the auto trader the earliest then calling to arrange viewings of cars you liked hopefully before anyone else
Calv I had the identical car as that lot of car for the money, needs a new air mass mine was the same, I've been working on German cars for over 30 yrs I hope I'm right 😀
Love your content genuine person who doesn't mess about , I have always been very weary of car dealers but you are a legend would even go as far to buy a car off you not the merc though soz
Its amazing what Covid has done to the old car market, granted its a low miles , but its cat'd. Prior to covid straight facelift ones were cheap as buttons, now pre FL are fetching 3k.

Totally confused that someone would go buy a car fix the wing clean it all and diagnose the problem to find it needs a £75 part that takes 5 mins to change it and then go sell it at a loss 🤪 but his loss and your win Calvin good video 😎
Now if that had been diesel. You would be up against whole list of potential problems. Mafs,4g 5g boxs are known to misbehave,injector seals. Timing chains. Alternator pulleys failing. List goes on. Not worth having them big old german buses
The first ref flag is that a “reputable trader” does not want free advertising. I can understand not going on camera but not even wanting shots of his showroom is suspicious.
Very nice car, i recently bought a cheap one too (04 C200D) and sold it, ended up losing £250 after having to pay £500+ on repairs 🥲 did pay a bit more for it than you did tho 😬

If you unplugged the maf then it would drive normal if that is the fault. One way of testing it
I just came on here to message the same my guy…. I got c180 on a 56 plate and mass is faulty and all I’ve done is unplug it now it drives ok….
Yh had a lot of MAF sensor issues on my old Corsa Cs 1.4 Sri and 1.8 Sri, always those pesky maf sensors
Can’t believe the guy didn’t try changing the maf Sensor 😆 nice looking car for £1900

How do you know he dint 😂
No better feeling then when you fix a car on the cheap and flip it quick. Well done Calvin

Had same on a focus coming up a maf .. but was idle control valve

**engine management light comes on** - Calvin:I think I'm gonna have to scrap this car
Meanwhile me: engine management light has been on for 2 years 😂
Honestly 😂😂
Mot?

To get rid of the engine mangerment light take one of the cables off the battery for 5 mins & put it back
A blank MOT doesn't mean anything. We all know someone who will fly a motor though for a bullseye under the sun visor.

Fuel pump maf or fuel regulator, failing that o2 senor in exhaust or even an airfilter

Surely unplugging the MAF sonsor might have helped as Surely there is a default table it will run of instead form the ECU

I’d of definitely gone with £750 max bid, I reckon it’s nothing to sort tho at the same time good luck calv👍

What was the profit after all deductions? At least it sold quick
My E46 325ci had the same problem
I thought its gonna be a faulty injector at least. Always unplug the maf if you suspect it at fault. The car should then drive fine
Being on the edge whilst picking up a car with no fuel in it hoping and praying to get to the station, it is not a comfortable feeling! 🙈😂
Clean the maf sensor with abit of contact cleaner
You should have unplugged the maf Calvin to get you home as it would have tricked the computer and pumped more in and made it balance abit better
Big calv needs an on-site diagnostic guy. Mind you RUclips the symptoms and it’ll probably come up with something common fault wise
Great video Calve and a profit 👍

Almost too good to be true, the seller done the body work which is much harder than a 5 minutes MAF sensor. You rolled a 6 there Calv!
Great Video Calv as always! 👌🏻
Thought there was mean to be a pipe both ends of that sensor?.
The dreaded eml light on the way home such a horrible feeling 😂
Enjoying you challenging yourself with these videos
Cheap mercs are out there, my little bro drives a 2009 c200 with a c220 engine paid £2k year and half ago still his daily to this day
Calvin seems suspicious of the car / seller 😂
I wonder why 👀 and the fact he doesn’t want to be on camera when this could be a chance to advertise his business to 200000 people is mad.
Now if that had been diesel. You would be up against whole list of potential problems. Mafs,4g 5g boxs are known to misbehave,injector seals. Timing chains. Alternator pulleys failing. List goes on. Not worth having them big old german buses
You will sort car out easy ! Simple fix ! 😃👍
Cool video. Enjoyed it Still a nice little profit.
Unplug maf if its at fault it will run sweet as 👌
Hi Calvin are you continuing this series or is it finished?
Totally agree can come across shady person when they don’t wanna be on camera
Not really, if I won one of the planet of dreams car I wouldn't want to be on camera, some people aren't fussed about publicity etc
This was very confusing.. he wants to be a car trader, the diagnostic tool told him the problem but he didn’t fix it? 😂 absolutely bizzare
Beautiful car Calvin
Easy money Cal it will be fine bro.🤘❤️
Knowing the "traders" that trade from chesham, I'm not surprised he was camera shy 😅
we need to get you a Mercedes boiler suit now lol
Calvin, you are a top mechanic 🤭well done buddy 👍👍
75 quid fix and sorted 😅 Think that driveway dealer needs a rethink😢
Well done pal 👍👍👍
Lovely jubbly Calvin…..BOSH 👍🏻
Bugger.... it's sold. I would have bought that from Calvin at £1900 lol
It’s the small wins that are the best 👍🏻
Needed a better test drive but I think you will earn from this one.
Nice car that love a Merc
Great content
A good video: sourced a car - bought it - fixed it - sold it
Theres one thing guarenteed to fcuk up a car and thats sucking the last bits of crap out of the bottom of the tank by running it that low on fuel
Drives fine when it's warm mate "honest" 😅😅😅😅😅
Any sensor that breaks will put a engine management light on the dash and make it run like shit
Bet that seller is gutted for the sake of a £70 maff sensor 😮😮
Should transfer that guy £100 quid just to help him out but that’s ur choice
Little money maker there nice buy 🎉
Happy days 🤣🤣 I can’t belive he didn’t try that wtf
Ill be honest buying any JLR product at the moment is like playing russian roulette.
You buy it theb you cant insure it but then you cant sell it!
Wow 46k on a 54 plate........a gem.
Good job Cal 😅
Just unclip the sensor it will ideal shit but drive better 😂
The petrol situation will never look good on this car 😂
It will be fine,,lovely car;;;
The first ref flag is that a “reputable trader” does not want free advertising. I can understand not going on camera but not even wanting shots of his showroom is suspicious.
Just unplug it in future calv would prove if it’s that
If in doubt call vrs he will be mega as usual
Yea he will only charge 5 grand 😂
Yeh call the greedy big bellied clown to get ripped off
Calv, ready for a bid, ready? £450 😐
Avant-garde with no leather interior that's strange is it not ?
It’s a vacuum leak mate
Bargain of a car should have advertised it a little more have you ever used the ad-mag to buy from?
50 50 get it gone
The kid has a diagnostic tool but doesnt fix the problem ? What’s the point in that 🤨
He does not have time to "prep It " if there was £1,000 to be made he would prep it im sure !¬!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚘
I reckon gearbox is gone on that
Nope it’s spot on 👌
