    Why can't all the motor industry be like you and Matt, honest and with complete integrity. I have been watching your channel since you restarted it and your professionalism and enthusiasm is clear to see. Your channel deserves to be really successful like Matt's. Best of luck and if I ever buy another MB I will definitely have it serviced and repaired at your garage as I don't live too far away. I like "while you're in there" and it makes complete sense to do those jobs.

    Interesting video, thanks. We have had 3 ML's one Y reg 270d, that we took to Spain and back in 2016- paid 1600 for it and sold it for 1950! one Petrol ML 320 with an Lpg conversion that failed on the Peripherique and started leaking LPG which had to be shut off and the system vented at a remote spot on the autoroute ( the scariest experience of my life, the Gendarmes were aware and kept a safe distance whilst smoking their Gauloises! ). After that road trip, spending nearly £2K on petrol it was sold ! Then in 2022 our hated Evoque threw its steering rack and left us in need of something able to deal with northumberland winters and a trip to Heathrow 4 up with 12 bags! Another Ml 270 and a leaky fuel system, But over the 6 months we owned it, it went to london twice fully loaded, dozens of trips to the Potato merchant in Gateshed and even towing a 3.5 Tonne Generator 500 miiles. We buy any car gave us £1200 for it in 2023 and I would have another one tomorrow! (not a petrol though LOL) Over the years we have had 3 ML's, 1 GWagon-how naive were we to sell that in 1990!, 1 E220D Avantegarde, 2 V220's, 1 LHD spanish 190D and 1 190 E Cosworth! yes we had a cosworth Mercedes!

    I’m just thrilled that you’ve cleaned the airbox. It might sound silly but it’s what everyone would do if it were his/her own car but not many workshops do. 👌
    4:35 More of those nice little details that only come with experience and will make a difference later on.
    5:21 “we’re gonna torque them in at 28Nm”. Is that a reduced number because you’ve put anti-cease on them?

    • @sprautos

    Nice to see w163. Now they are cheap and beaten as workhorses, but they have future (especially ML500 in decent condition). I have 1997-12 w163 (ML320) green with beige interior and went all trough these steps and MUCH more servicing it since mine mileage is 290k km. Since it is old actually everything I touch (from brakes, engine to folding mirrors, or wipers mechanisms or interior parts) needs some care and repairs, but I love this, it is rewarding despite "to do" list never ends. w163 is actually simple (bit sadly) compared to gold age legends like w126, w124. So it is easy for DIY. Downside is that it is more plastic model and this creates some issues. Nice that you wont forget fuel filter. I also went trough this and this wasn`t pleasure - original was available for ~280 Eur. It is expensive since it is specifically only petrol w163 part - pressure regulator + fuel filter came as one laser welded stainless steel unit. Purchased replacement from Poland for ~80 Eur. Most likely china made but there is no other smart choice.

    Mate loved the video but I just need to take a moment to mourn my decision to buy a e53 X5 v8 instead of one of these. Despite being well aware of the stark difference in reliability and general fit and finish it was the styling of the ML that I could not get around. The e53 is a beautiful curse that has given me nothing but problems DESPITE the previous mechanic owner having spent countless hours under the hood himself. Currently trying to sell it before ANOTHER thing goes out. It will be an expensive 2 years and 6,000 odd miles that's for sure. A nice experience and lesson learned nonetheless.

    You did an extremely thorough job 🙂
    If only all garages were so conscientious. You should get a job at my local Mercedes-Benz main dealer. Half the time their mechanics (aka fitters). Couldn't find their own @rses, using both hands in a brightly lit room!

    Thank you so much for sharing all this information,I had previously stated on Highpeak that I would consider buying from him on the strength of what he does to / for the vehicles he has and your attitude certainly supports that.

      No problem glad you enjoyed. Matt certainly preps his cars correctly. But as we all know in the car game anything can go
      Wrong at anytime.

    Came to your channel via Matt's High Peak Autos. Really interesting stuff and a great advert for independent specialists. Don't have a Merc but have subscribed anyway.

    Very “dry “ delivery which was not only very interesting but strangely relaxing

    Love a good servicey type video......
    Those fluids were well overdue.
    And that oil filter !
    The gearlever bush clip looked awkward.....
    Dread to think what that service would have cost at a dealership.....
    Is that pulley still spinning.......

      Yea the selector bush and clip is abit awkward there isn’t much room.
      The pulley is still spinning 😂

    Hi there, can I just say what a pleasure it has been watching you working on this ML. Calm, step by step approach, only changing parts when beneficial to the client, overall result appears to be a significant improvement in driver pleasure. Very well done. I'm sure this video on it's own will boost your business; I know if I still had a Merc and was still in the UK I would have confidence in you working on my car.
    Cheers Dave

    I know not your speciality, but who would you recommend to provide similar service and integrity in the north west for a BMW as this is what I drive ?
    Keep up the great work it’s a brilliant watch for a petrol head like me 👍
