It's time to lower our Mercedes Diesel Wagon! S124 / W124 300TD Diesel
I live in the states so I get the better 123s and 124s 😂. I got my hands on a 123 Sedan with the 300d and a 124 sedan with the inline-6 turbo diesel. The speed difference is out of this world. And I agree the 124 is underrated.
Don’t work on cars when you don’t have any notion how to work on them technically .. Stupid stupid stupid . Sorry to say but the end was very disappointing .
Watch any of our videos and you’ll see you’re very, very wrong. But cheers to helping our algorithm!
a descent one for 1500 pounds? Not in here in Holland for sure. More like €7 - 9k.
The passion! Do you still own it?
Thanks for the video.
Guy in orange looks like a pilot for the rebel alliance.
Very good video , Thank You
I think the MK 7 GTI is a great enthusiast car too (even though its called the Golf TSI GT) Ive managed to get 68 mpg (between 45-55 mpg in sport mode
Not over here it isn’t!
I drove my 62 300SE with 6 cyl from high school in 74 until early 90’s. Kept maintenance up, oil changed regularly and had to replace rear air bags.
Excellent video and superbly documented, loved it thanks :)
Loving the enthusiasm . When I was getting into motors (80s) these were just "cars" ....not classic cars. So happy to see there is still such a following for old VDubs that were designed for a 10 year n100k life. Couldn't tell you how many Beetles I scrapped in the 1980s. Dailying a W123 currently as ...the only sensors in the car are my four paws and the checks of my arse , the "brain" is in my head and ........I can still fix them without a computer or a parts cannon . Love your work guys.
Hugely useful cargo area. Among other things it could fit a single bed mattress, and a 14.5 cu ft chest freezer (had to take the door off). Completely flat cargo floor.
Great vid , had never heard of her , thank you .
YES it was behind the wheel off a Mercedes just like this ? except that Ewys car was a 220 Injection and left hand drive !
I bet you’re really fun at parties
Whell no because i dont go to partys anymore ! i am to busy with restoring my Mercedes 300 se w108 .. number 6 in the line you amateurs 🤣 If you can handle the truth then dont reply simpel 😉
It’s as simpel as bca
Habla demasiado en los vídeos me gusta cuando hacen los trabajos sin hablar mucho.
Then turn the volume off.
I brought in the first S cargo into Harwich back in 1987.. Bringing it from the importer depot to London was a nightmare.. It had an annoying tinky bell speed warning which was pre set for 60mph.... It was repainted and leased out to a bakery in East London...
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video. Best wishes to you and the team always.
Nice video. Why you didn't change the oil?
The oil in it looked golden with food viscosity
The legend must live.😊
Really love the GTA and Sims soundtrack lol.
Lazy work
How in the name of feck is all this in two days lazy work? Get your head looked at
@@427Motorsports too lazy
Big sleeps
Gran Tursimo background music?
You bet! 🙌🏻
Nice adventure and good work 😊
Wherher it us a w116 or w123 these cars are known to be indestructable since tbese cars, are to be taxis with over a million miles and still going strong .
Brilliant ! This committed lunacy got my subscription 😎👍🏻
Cv
Was that car dropped in the ocean for a few years?
Close to it at least!
Leo looks and sounds like he is dying inside in that add 😂
He didn't know the virtues of the mighty Wagon R
What a great review - going to buy my first Abarth now! Thanks guys xxx
Well done, at least u tried, great vid and great cars/crack.
Last mot 2008......
We like a challenge
Parked in this spot for 10 years.
ohhh I feel this! only with bmws tho. NICE video!
What has the sea got to do with the rust 😂. Did the previous owner drive it on the beach ? It's road salt that kills cars never buy one from a scotchland
W123
Very bad work !
Thanks! 🙌🏻
My GTI 16v was a barnfind and has been still for TWELVE years! When I got it, it was starting like nothing happened to it. Sure, I didnt drive with it like that, I quickly changed oil and other stuff, but the sick part was that it WORKED. I really want to keep my 16v forever, its a very fun car.
New spark plugs do wonders 😂
I remember trading cartons of cigarettes for all the parts you could carry out of a scrapyard in Germany. Good luck finding front end parts for Mercedes, they are faster but don’t slow faster 😂
That straight six engine is excellent. Had that engine in a 74 coupe and in a 76 SE with mechanical fuel injection. Higher revving, dohc and dual exhaust
Had a 280 SE 4 spd, great car, solid
2.5 tdi came in 3 flavours in the uk too. I believe your van is 2001 model. My t4 was called shit stain because it had some form of horrible brown creosote substitute spilled over the paswanger seat by the previous owner.
why😪
funny
I would’ve turn back home and take the loss instead of even trying to come close to that piece of junk. Whomever dare selling that vehicle should be arrested immediately 😮.
You’d have missed out on a lot of fun.
You know, for such an expensive vehicle at least in America, they’re nothing less than a rust bucket 😢
replace the intake injector orings they may be creating a biv vccum leak
Felicitaciones por volver ese W123 a la vida, para mi es el mejor y mas lindo de los Mercedes!!! Otra cosa es que me parecio un poco largo el video con pasajes que deberìan ser mas cortos y algunos sin importancia; pero lo importante es que està funcionando. Veremos como reparan la carrocerìa y los herrumbres. He notado que todos los Mercedes son bastante malos en lo que se refiere al metal de la carroceria pero de motor una maquina infernal. Felicitaciones nuevamente y espero a ver cuando lo pintan....
Gracias!
I just write to say how stupid you are and that's wonderful 👍
Thanks, we think!
That’s awesome determination guys, good job 👏🙌greetings from USA 🇺🇸
Good onya fellas,Beautiful!🇦🇺
Bro, just ship one from California. We're literally junking rust free w123s over here. Check out the inventory at lkq and row52.
We have two W123s already, but thanks! 😂
