Al great video mate reminds me when I had my workshop fixing cars from the 70s 80s 90s when we had a lot less electrics going on not a fan of the moden cars
Yeah, I had 3 of them, in fairness I improved everyone and they were in better shape when sold. I know 10 years later at least 2 of them are still on the road, a longevity beast!
Here in the states the German cars have a bad reputation, due to shite mechanics that work @ dealers who play parts darts And have no clue,great too see a real Tec @ work👍
As you appear to have many questionable batteries, could you get TopDon to supply one of their Tornado "intelligent" chargers that are suggested as rejuvenating tired batteries. I think that any results would be of interest to many subscribers, especially if you had a TopDon battery tester to review before/after results of condition.
Another cracking video there Al. Just out of interest, we've got a Mercedes Sprinter 310 it's a 1999 T reg mwb with a 2.9 5 cylinder in it. Its got absolutely no rust whatsoever, we parked it up in our barn 5 years ago and there was nothing wrong with it we just bought a newer Mercedes van, it had about 8 months mot on it when we parked it. We brought it new and have had it serviced every year without fail. Its got 135k miles on it, I don't know what it would need for an mot and iv no interest in putting it through one. If you want it it's yours?
Hi Al, i have finally seen your comments on here so I can at last reply to you. I'm not very techno savy but I will attempt to send you an email over the next few days. Things are a bit hard for me to do as I have a terminal illness! I will however do my best to gain contact. Kind regards, John
Al I’m doing an egr valve replacement on a Mercedes sprinter 956 engine of doom,I’ve never done one and have u any advice or talk me through how to change it.
I'll have to come down and see it then... You don't by chance have a reasonable g wagon then I did see a blue one kicking about in one of the videos when you were moving some stuff and having a strimm
Good old fashioned mechanic who knows his stuff, you just cannot beat this channel for diesels.
Probably the best Merc engine ever made, beautiful sound.
So glad you were able to give Don a good send off. Hope you are doing OK Al
The w124 and 190 Mercedes were some of the best made cars , beautifully engineered .
I do love the sound of the 124 and 201 engines. Especially the 2.5l has this cool turbo-like sound... Unbelievably good and reliable motors
Happiness is a Turbo diesel Al today with a 5 banger OM
Like a castellla and vat
that one,s a 6 pot ,,even better
Anybody else see the alien run underneath the front of the silver Merc at 6:37?? This scrumpy is good stuff 🤪
Probably an Alien descendant from the Moigne Down UFO incident. 😂
It’s called a leaf lol
Al, you do make some top videos sir 🎩 always a joy to watch 👍👍👍
One of my favourite channels.
That OM606 will never be bettered in my opinion
Short but sweet.
Another good video Al, glad your mucker had a good send off 🍺

Remember when you could pick those up for a grand ?.

This guy is class
nice one Al , beutiful motors them there bavarias , would love one but can't afford one now , so I'd better find me a sprinter
Was tempted to chuck one of them 606’s in my 2014 sprinter but pricey just bough a 412 way the old 2.9 lump thinking fitting that only done 90k miles
Brilliant video
I suggest you to clean the tank filter, it is located under the big allen key bolt in the middle of the tank.
Brilliant Stuff Al 👀👍👌

Ok fella I couldn’t think of another way to get hold of you Al 👍
Looks to be a Scottish reg on it ? Lovely big bus 😊. Is that a 2/309D next to the ramp ? Delivered milk from one 😊😊
In my wagon it was fuel heater that was feeding air in the fuel lines. Solution...delete it. 😊
Haha I thort that puffing noise was injector chuffing
Chuffing is because it wanted to be a steam engine of course... :P
