Another great video. W163 270CDI ML's are brilliant trucks, show them a little bit of tlc and they'll go forever. Our facelift version has become part of the family 😎
I've only ever had 1 Green Oval badged disaster experience in all my years messing with cars and it was with a 54 reg Freeloader TD4 HSE. My girlfriend had one when I met her, someone recommended them to her as a good car!! To try and impress her, I took the thing to work and said I'd give it a once over. Total turd as I expected, 1 working window, intermittent parking sensors, fuel tank was hanging on for dear life, offside rear quarter panel leaked water into the boot and after cleaning up some oil leaks the engine thought overrunning was a good idea. I bought her a V70 D5, flogged the turd on Marketface and never looked back. Just checked MOT history, it failed every one big time after we sold it and the new owner gave up last year. V70 is still going strong and has only had an advisory for an exhaust hanger since I bought it 4 years ago.
Good Afternoon Al and Fudgey. This is what i Love about this Channel. Being very Honest about wether a vehicle can be put back on the road, Restored to sort of road worthyness, I really do like 6 D Diesels. You never know what you are going to see. It is a Mystery each time i watch your Professional video's. Very Well Done Al and Fudgey.
Ten years ago a friend bought a 50k mile facelift 1.8 Freelander for £500 in Kent and took it over to France (where they were twice the price) did all sorts of Countryside shenanigans(Carrying logs, Goats etc) in it for a good few years until it broke. Good value!
Al, I bought a td4 Freelander for £350 3 years ago as a sort of project/needed to tow. I did throw some money at it mainly a decent valet clutch service window regs x 2, but it had done 170 thou, same age as yours cleaned up nice ran well parts are cheap such as the tank brackets calipers etc. I drove it a year and sold it to a colleague. He still has it now, and it's done 220 thou, just needing service tyres brakes. There's people out therethatlove them. Nice to see the prop on too. I think it would clean up nice
I would have a careful look at the chassis , I heard rumours of a "recall" being pulled due to cost , it involved the new vehicles being collected and the paint replaced on the chassis , Hammerite ( Hunting ) were involved providing the refinish system , was late 90s probably all rotted away by now
I was reminiscing on back in the 90's when I had my MK1 Transit hook converted out of a twin wheel LWB van which I converted into a crew cab and used a section of shipping container to make a rear panel and sliced off the rest of the van sides to about a foot above the wheel line to keep the light fittings, welded a ton of supports and hammered over the sharp edges. It had slidey doors both sides and a Yorkie diesel up for'ard nothing better than both doors slid back and smoking about south London fetching and hooking the auld fashioned way, often got hired at banger race meets and often over at Arena Essex slagging down the Wet Spam lot me being a Millwall lad hehe I remember one day spotted an old bill car on its side down an embankment so offered to right him up and pull him onto the A20, he was happy then bloody nicked me for no tax in the window grr grr I kicked myself for letting it go some months after I sold it, a contact offered me his son's abandoned E type for £50, I could not find anyone with a trailer as it was missing its wire wheels. Think the worst miss I had was an XJS for 50p... yes 50p, this was a bloke who shagged about, the XJS he put in his missus name and she found out about his extra knockings so she bonfired all his designer clothing, put his watch collection into the microwave, put his XJS in south London's News Shopper for 50p and lawyered him into oblivion, I did console myself when it was revealed why etc by picking up a pair of Mini 1275GT's for £80 that week but not quite in the same league as a pure white bodykitted labour of love Jag XJS :S
Loved my ML first series , great truck.....loved my Freelander 1 too , the freelander isn't too bad if you buy a 2006 model in 2012 , then sell it again by 2014
And another great video as always.Thanks Al and Fudge you great guys.I love watching your stuff as its down to earth with no glitz and glamour like the other BS car channels.Keep it up boys. I,d love to come and annoy you no i mean see you as i,m only down in sunny Bournemouth haha.
Operating the phone fiasco is identical to what happens to me when driving and the wife tries to do anything with the phone and after a tense few minutes just gives up.
just a quick one boss,weve just aquired a 57plate ford ranger 2'5 with a blown head gasket,,we're either going to put new head on ,had it tested and its dead,would you either pu new head on it or change engine,rest of its spot on good solid truck.was bought at right price.£600.
22:51 - La crem de la merde... Had a very last of the Wanklander 1s, also HSE on an 06 plate before the council yoinked it away because it farted its gearbox all over the pavement and I reckoned walking was less traumatic.
Very disappointed Al A man just can't have enough treasure 😂don't have clear out have clear up that means keep it just put it in different places in the yard 😂😂😂❤
170k nearly the end of its second life...Just find a strong growing hedge to plant it in....Please do not scrap it, or you might see bits of it again, in vee-hic-les of the future....Imagine seeing an oval shadow on a merc bonnet...lol...
Top quality ML I've been looking at a newer ML 2010 onwards 3.0 V6, which has taken my fancy. Are they any good AL ? But that Horrid Landy is well...scrap lol
So much for getting rid of some vehicles in the yard so didn't last long 😂🤣 but I don't blame you as it was a good deal as you can make profit on the merc but get shot of the land rover (scrap it) but you haven't sold anything so more vehicles in the yard now al you going to fix the wifes Audi 🤔
@@Dawscar trouble with al is he tends to hoard as every thing he buys needs working on so he parks them and then the sit for years as the man is to bissy with customers vehicles
Al my garage has got an 06 plate Mercedes Benz s500 which we have had for two years finally got it off the customer who just took the mick if you are interested

Ohhhhh, a 605 in a Capri with a dirty old Holset and a hater pipe out the bonnet has just made me go all PG15 in the pantaloon department... 🤭😍

Two for the price of one. What a top quality purchase they are. This mid week episode has all the hallmarks of the theme, “tension and hedges”.
I wandered past with the dogs this morning and saw this and thought what a nice looking car.
Yes my midweek fix of 6d I'm now very happy 🥳 cheers guys 👌👍🏻👏👏👏
Al and fugie on a Wednesday can't beat it nice merc
Another great video has al and fudgie 👍

Great stuff 😃👍
Well, well, well....the green oval returns to Sixpenny. You will never live it down Al!
Fudge did suggest we go off roading for a laugh and see how long it lasts 😂😂
A Freelander with a prop shaft 😂, must admit it’s rare that 👍🏻
Brilliant compulsive midweek viewing. I can't believe I actually sat watching a video of Fudgie's nostrals 🙄
Kool video as allways ❤

Two a weeks about as much as we can manage at current 👍
Al needs a “One in”, “Two out” policy….. or a therapist 😂
Love it.
That's a Freelander 1 facelift. It is one of the better ones and has a BMW diesel engine.
I would think twice about scrapping it.
Thanks
It's a good job fudgie is a better mechanic than he is a cameraman. 😂
I agree, I'll stick with the spanners 😂

I’d put a head on it fella , they are as cheap as chips for the hole kit off eBay, plus you know the rest of the engines good 👍
What a collection 😂😂😂
HSE - Has S...t Electrics. No need for reversing sensors when you've got a towbar and a spare wheel stuck to the back door.
Love you vids Al.but don't call the car a gay lander 😂
Gaylander lol I'm never going to look at these in the same way ever again, even free is too much lol

I would love this as a project, i can only afford £100 for the car and a additional £200 if you would deliver?
Sunday Al is obviously not the same as Wednesday Al, as Sunday Al said he had too many Mercs..!
Al the oval based disaster could be your transport to France to pick up your van you can leave it in France
That’s not a bad idea !!! If it makes it lol

Enjoying the videos Al. You and Fudgey are hilarious. Has been any news on the illegal dump near your parents property?
Sadly nothing has happened, I’m going to have to come up with another plan for getting it moved
Are you sure you not going buy out Al the yards has few empty spaces lol
What you asking for free lander my problem is I’m way up north
There's a reason why you got 2 for the price of 1 most people would pay you to take away the trouble lander the hint is in the name free
