I Bought a £900 Mercedes S Class on Ebay - is it a Total Heap? (£1000 Luxobarge S1:EP1)

- The first video in the £1000 Luxobarge series. One late night trawling ebay and i saw this 2002 S500 Mercedes on auction. It has almost 12 months of MOT and I thought if i could get it for under £1000 I would. I now need to assess how bad it is.. various warning lights are present and some rust... and need to decide what to do with it!
Despite this being a MB low water mark during a drought, I love to see this old barges being used and enjoying rather than being scrapped.
100%%%
I just love the design of the rear light clusters. Whenever I seen them pass me it just lightly brightens my day.
This channel is the best of JayEmm, Harrys Garage and Hoovie
I even had a hand in the making of this one...
Thank you chap!!!
Are Harry & Hoovie about to enter the chat?😂
Mate it's so much better than those channels. Harries is Good. Hoovie is a weirdo, Jayemm need to loose the belly.
@@TheTimeDetective42 you should've really kept that to yourself. You may, or may not, have feelings but these are real people. It amazes me that two people liked your comment. People are indeed strange Jim. Some, very strange.
Re the glove box try a couple of small neodymium magnets in the middle. That way you can the press the release button and pull the glovebox open using the recess. These things are strong so literally only use 1 on each surface.
I marvel at your energy and optimism. Then I remember that you are twenty years younger than me and that’s why my ‘emerging classic’ seems to go to the garage these days rather than having me rolling around underneath with rust dust in my eyes. I shall watch your future career with great interest, as they say.
Number 27: Hoovies Garage - UK edition?
Good job he's is own Wizard!
@@farmerlamb2372 Your not wrong!
Ha! I was going to to say that exact same thing!
Ahah good one. Perhaps storage space will be the limit.
Probably a great way to develop the channel 😁
Never mind the Merc Jack. My advice is edit out the part when you pick up your phone and play about with it, before an off duty jobsworth plod sees it and you get a CU80 on your licence! 🤣
looking at the past mot history , its has held up very well . I owned one and did 280k and it did eventually give up mechanically at that point . I now have the newer model
and love it . what can you get for £900.00 with that that level of comfort and still look fairly decent . I would run it as a daily driver for one year and not spend a penny on it
and see if it lasts ... I would also think about letting subscribers choose a outrageous colour to wrap it in .
Definitely tempted to run it for a year without spending anything and see if I make it!!
nice one 🚗👍
Its got Semperit Wintet Tyres fitted - pretty decent. I've paid more for just Winter Tyres, than you've paid for Winter Tyres with a car attached. I'd wash it, polish the headlights, bit of tyre slick do the bare minimum required to smarten it up a little. Find someone local with Mercedes Star/Xentry, fix any show stoppers using used parts. And use it through the upcoming winter. You really can't lose.
Get steering aligned...when the steering wheel.runs straight, your dash lights will stay off. I had the exact same on my CL55 the steering angle sensor thinks something is wrong if the car is going straight but wheel is at an angle. Ideal car for someone who likes tinkering.
Brilliant !..l learn something new everyday .
Most definitely, a steering wheel that is badly out of centre while driving straight will as you say, bring on these lights.
I agree. In my 1998 A-class ABS, etc lights came on when I drove for a while with steering wheel not being straight. Suspension alignment solved it.
Jack, fix what needs fixing, then smoke around in it for as long as it will run. They are always the best cars when you look back at them.
Control your OCD of fiddling!!
Don’t even wash the outside, you would be inviting more rust, but sort out the inside, especially the seat height one good bump and you’d be knocked out on the roof at the moment!!
Deep joy, Jacks bought a Merc! Much good advice here Jack. Get a Star diagnostic, I’d go for steering wheel alignment/clock spring and/or wheel sensor. Then work your way through the faults. I can’t wait to share the journey with you, well done!
TonyS
Thank you so much for doing a w220 makeover. Looking forward to the next episode :)
The headlights and the rear arch are easy and will make the world of difference - DO IT!!!!!
I had a four year old 2005 Mercedes E Class. A lovely car that spent most of it's time in the workshop
Looking forward to seeing more of this S class series 👍👍
Despite its faults it still seems a bargain, you have to take a risk sometimes. Good luck Jack.
Don't forget that airbag lights need resetting once the fault has been fixed, they are not like engine management fault lights that go out on their own when they are fixed.
I always look forward to your videos. A great way to relax and enjoy. Keep up the good work.
Interesting vlog. Make sure you change the oil in the gearbox, they are known for the coolant to weep into the gearbox and mix with the gearbox oil.
Thanks Brendan!!
Jack, on eBay for probably less than ten pounds you can buy an "emulator" to fix that SRS seat pad problem. My son had to do it on his ML320, cheap and cheerful fix.
Did anyone else take a look at the other vids on this channel and think, "well the cheap Merc was a good watch, but the fancy stuff isn't for me'? More of this sort of thing please if you find it 'works' for you
After doing a visual inspection on steering and suspension components, get a 4 wheel alignment check with Hunter alignment equipment. KWIK fit have them and some places will check for free. Hunter is by far the best alignment equipment out there and manufacturers use them in factories. After getting alignment done and all where it should be, there is another stage which Alignment centres bever do and that's recalibrating the steering angle sensor when the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position. You need bidirectional scan tool to do it though. KWIK fit don't have these scan tools so you would need to find someone else to do it. Another thing to not do with these is change them to coilover suspension because you will loose the functionality that the air shocks have. Say you have a lot in the boot which drops the rear of the car. The air shocks will pump the car up to keep it level. The coilover replacement looses this function so the whole ride is changed and ruined. I've worked on several w220 and W221 who have done this it's upsetting to see what people do who sint realise how they have made the car worse.
Will be interesting to look underneath the car to see its condition and to see what faults the ECU presents and next to analyse what is causing these faults and fix the ones that are easy enough to fix and won't break the bank. Looking forward to the next episodes!
That's a great car. We work on these a lot. First things first for all those lights, check the brake pedal switch is in position and set up correctly 👍
I think you need to try and outdo Harry Metcalfe’s Arctic Rolls and take the S-class to the Antarctic.
Starting with this episode of the Benz series on the channel. Streaming it on my TV on a lazy grey afternoon.
Cheers from Belgium! And I know these cars can be an (electronics) nightmare. The end of the nineties were a major rust and quality check problematic and erratic era for Mercedes indeed.
Again I admire your sense of humour!
The brown Italian wreck, isn’t that a Lancia Gamma?
Ha! When you floored it and stuff started flying I lost it. But yes the w220 may not have been MB’s best but it’s a pretty good car despite the rep. I’ve had an 03 S430 for 2 years now and its going strong. The airmatic system has messed with me a few times but I don’t think it’s worth ripping out. It’s kinda the best part.
Looking forward to seeing how this one goes, once you get the diagnosis on it and reset, see what returns and how much / difficult it is and take the decision from there fix or run to the ground
One thing either way you can't lose 👍
Our old MD had one of these for years. Wish it was a dark colour, as would look more executive!
Get a 2nd hand glove box latch rather than bodging with velcro, you know it will only bug you knowing it's not been fixed properly
The dealer "fixed" my 100k S class rattling glovebox with a bit of velcro.....
@@adams7405 i would have been apocalyptically furious. Reject the car as not fit for purpose furious. Legal action furious. Going to the newspapers saying "MB make terrible cars and their dealers fix them with velcro and tape" furious. They would have ended up letting me have the car for free just to shut me up because i would go on a campaign of letting the world know how bad they are. I'd be collecting other peoples problems to publish level of furious
You need to incorporate some more William Woolard 1970s Top Gear poses, Jack.....!! Address camera with foot-on-bumper etc 😂👍🏻
😁😁😁😁😁
I think you should call it the 'Mercenary!"
Superb Jack, great gamble and it looks like you’ve found a good one…..so far 🤔 It’ll be an interesting few months me thinks 😊
Love this kind of video. I’ve just picked up an S350 lwb which am absolutely loving. Mine doesn’t have the optional opening glovebox but is soooo comfy !!! Plan is to drive it to Croatia in July…
Nice video Jack and I love an old barge! Thank you
The valve cover gaskets are prone to leak on them. The smell you were smelling was maybe oil burning off the exhaust.
Only 3 mins in…. Smell burning???? @number27 Jack, do we need to talk again about the @firesafetystick? 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Hey buddy.. I'll pop one in this car.. only need one for the InfluEnzo!!
Lovely car! I had all those warnings (ABS, ESP, cruise etc) on my SLK recently and it was entirely the fault of one dodgy wheel speed sensor.
Mate you got a bargain! It's unfortunate that because previous owners of these cars deferred maintenance or just couldn't give a shit about looking after them, the whole series gets a bad rep. Get a good one and the W220 is really a beautiful car.
Omg good deal my friend, amazing car ,little bit change and perfect nice car with good price. 👍👍👍🥰
Steering wheel needs removing and putting back on with sensor in right location, will solve your issues. Most likely removed for indicator stalk replacement 👍
Agree, but centre the wheel on the track rods, not by removing steering wheel (because removing/replacing the steering wheel won’t change the position of the sensor).
A lot of those system faults taken together might suggest a (or more) faulty speed sensor on the wheel hub... But then I'm definitely not an expert!
Stumbled across this. A really well presented interesting series.
Looks like you're local, just shout if you want it professionally valeted or have the lights done 😉 I've worked on these before and do like them!
Where are you based, I'm looking to have front lights cleaned up on my facelift model ?
One suggestion is to tidy it up and then auction it off for charity. A 50p 3.3 ohm axial resistor should fix that srs light. Just bridge the two connections
I bought something extremely similar a couple of years ago. A 1999 W220 S500 for £1000! I had to spend a bit on it to start with, a full B service, new rear brakes and a repair to the bonnet but overall it’s been a fantastic car. Everything works on it except the keyless go. I upgraded the Comand to an aftermarket unit which was pricy as it needed a new amp and new wiring to bypass the fibre optics but overall it is so much car for the money. I also own a beautiful low mileage 1993 W124 E320 Coupe which is in almost concourse condition but the W220 is far more refined and I think the criticism about all the fittings and switches is a little undeserved. I do get a bit anxious about the airmatic but so far having driven it about 7000miles, I can’t really fault it.
Good score Jack. Play it by ear with the repairs. Cheers from OZ.
nice find. mine is an 03 s500 4matic in the usa, 280k miles. mechanically it is smooth and solid. i have no warning lights at all on mine. i do have to replace control arms and mounts. my drivers seat didnt move in all directions, needed an new door switch. my airmatc works but previous owner put cheapy air struts in it and they are done for, but the system itself works and it doesnt sink after 2 weeks of sitting still all my PSE systems work except the trunk handle. its a great car i love it!
Wow! That’s big mileage Bryan, good luck with yours and thanks for watching!!
I had a couple of these (same 5.0 V8) over the years and loved them. The main problem that I had was rust. Rust, rust and more rust.
This all looks very familiar. I had an 02 CLK that displayed all of the warning lights you are seeing. I purchased a clone MB tool and reset the steering position sensor, bought a new servo (possible sensor problem) and other stuff to painful to list. In the end I removed the battery and battery holder - the wiring loom had been rubbed away and exposed some wires. It was a simple fix after that.Very poor build quality on this age of MB. Good luck
Hi Jack, I had a similar number of warnings on my dashboard and it was a faulty steering angle sensor, so would suggest you start there. Good luck with it!
Thank Alex, will look into it!
Definitely this.
I was going to suggest the abs rings on the drive shafts as i had the same issue with a W210 E320 years ago. Amazing value for money though so good luck with it and i hope it gets the views for you.
Before even watching, I'm going to pre-emptively answer "of course you can, if you're good with the tools". Same goes for our fully-loaded E46 330d SE Steptronic with M sport and H-K goodies, £550 and a bit of vacuum line plus a turbo/intake cleaning and it's great. Of course not in the same league as the S500 but I did have a 735i SE some years ago that cost me £200 & went right through an MoT no trouble. there are 100% bargains to be had in old luxury and/or sporty cars if you're not scared to get your hands dirty. And nothing beats the feeling of wafting round in something that you paid less than 0.5% of the new price for 20 years down the line.
I think he mentioned connecting Star and go from there. There's a lot of specialist tasks/repairs that can be done by "average joe" in a shed though, if it's being done for a hobby rather than business.
Definitely not simple though you're right, just the amount of multiplexed electronic controls are enough to boggle the brain if you don't have a good idea where the problem is to begin with.
Cheers Dan.. lets hope this works out as well as your 735 did!
In the United States that car would have a set of ridiculously oversized rims on it and the stereo would be tuned to something heavy on bass.
Probably cruising in the "HOOD" with a 1/4 tank of fuel because the owner can't afford to full it up.
None of the issues would be fixed either..
Hey William.. thankfully no oversized rims here! Big wave to the USA!
It wasn't only the S Class of that era that was shoddily built, many Mercedes models of that period suffered from poor build including the E class, SL, CLK etc.
Disagree, the 2002-2009W209 CLK was a solid car, well made and didn't really suffer the rust problems that earlier Mercs did.
@@colinthebeard I was referring to the first gen CLK. The second gen CLK was based on the E Class off that period and therefore would have suffered the same electronic gremlins that that car did.
Get the front wheels tracked correctly with the steering wheel straight and itll probably solve a lot of ESP / BAS faults. There's a yaw control sensor, its detecting steering wheel position not same as road wheels, so thinks there's a traction issue and closing down the safety system.
Just had same on our 2003 W211, kept throwing up ESP Malfunction steering straight on motorway. Got it tracked by someone who knew what he was doing (not a tyre centre!) with the steering wheel straight. Drives properly now and no ESP fault.
Can't really complain at £900 though. What's that, price of a rear caliper on Influenza?
The cause of absence is reluctant ring magnets on front bearings or rear drive shafts.i changed all mine and never had problem since
Hi Jack, still loving the channel, great vids as always.
Old Mercs! Now you’re talking. I have a few old Benzes myself as well as my ‘89 Alfa spider. I have an ‘89 S124 and the two couldn’t be more different. In terms of build quality they are opposite ends of the spectrum.
If memory serves me correct, the W220 was a hasty restyle of the W140, pictures of which were beamed around the world in a smashed state following Princess Diana’s death. The W140 S500 had a particular problem with the rear suspension where if driven at speed and hit an undulation, it would bottom out and then fishtail once it hit the bump-stops. This obviously resulted in the catastrophe that the world saw but was actually reported on by car journos at the time. In fact I remember talking to a chauffeur whose employer would always encourage him to “drive properly” and actually experienced that particular problem. He got rid of the W140 as a result (plus it was getting old) and changed it for a BMW 7 series (E38 model). I believe the air suspension was developed hastily to address the issue (rushed through R&D) hence why the airbags always leak and the reservoir and pump fail. You see a lot of these sitting in the side of the road in a slumped state like ‘70s Citroen as a result.
Also MB was preparing for the merger with Chrysler at the time and wanted to show maximum profits on the accounts. They did this by cutting corners and compromising on quality with the whole model range.
Hope this old girl serves you well. Cosmetics aside, you might actually have a decent example. What’s the mileage and service history if you don’t mind me asking? Also find yourself a decent specialist as knowledgeable people will save you a lot of time and money.
Any thoughts of a name? How about “Bertha the Big Benz?”
Can’t wait for the next instalment, hope your channel goes from strength to strength. Keep up the good work! 👍😁
Hey Abu, does your missing hand ever bother you? 😁
No history at all and only one key!! Next video will show us general condition!
You'll probably find there's a loose connection on one of the front cables which throws a sensor and then the ABS/ESP/BAS lights all come on. My CL does that after a battery is flat or when it's had some suspension work... Drive this car for a while - it'll get under your skin 😉
I always thought the problems started when Chrysler took over. Instead of Merc bringing up Chrysler quality to their level the opposite happened😉.
Actually, Mercedes bought and took control of Chrysler, not the other way around, which is widely agreed to have been a mistake. At the time, we were asked to believe it was a 'merger of equals'. Soon after, all the Chrysler people were escorted from the building, from which you can draw your own conclusions. To this day the rear-drive Chrysler -- sorry, 'Stellantis' -- cars (not the trucks, obviously) are based on an E-Class platform from the 1990s.
@@Michael_Lorenson The rot set in with water based paint, where only the clear coat was water proof, door bottoms and wing edges must have been missed as that was where the rot always started. Then they started to use cheaper steel. Perhaps it was a generic German problem, to survive they all needed to up their volumes. BMW Porsche as well as Merc' have all manufactured some right rubbish.
@@timbutton4990
Water-based paint was a consequence of a US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ban on using some of the chemicals used in prior paint formulations. The early water-based paints were truly awful, but not specific to any one car company. Any company selling cars in the US was forced to use WBP because US repair facilities had to use it for any needed repainting due to crash damage or whatever. I suppose the manufacturers decided to use WBP worldwide because it didn't make sense to use different processes, given all the factors involved.
But I agree that the need for the cost efficiencies of high volume production partly led to the decline of German car quality. For many years, I owned nothing but BMWs from the 1980s and 1990s. Those built after about 2000 don't interest me because of their seemingly endless problems.
Terrible era for MB ,our local taxi firm had a fleet of poverty spec E200’s and they were rotten at 3 to 4 years quite incredible when you look at W124 quality….
Chrysler never took over Mercedes...what are you talking about.
I think you are spot on Jack - the off center steering wheel would probably confuse the traction control system and cause a light on the dash
Another thing you'll want to look for is an aftermarket windshield. The front camera is super sensitive to position of the glass in the body, the condition, and quality of the glass as well. A crappy Chinese windshield with some distortion at the camera view location will cause all kinds of havoc as well as the overall shape of the glass. Too flat or to bowed compared to the stock glass will be a problem.
I bought a 2002 S320 in 2016 and had it converted to LPG with a 96ltr Donut Tank in the spare wheel recess, used it for Private Hire work for 4 years, best car I have ever driven, and on the LPG very economical, suspension gave up the ghost at 182k so sold it for salvage too costly to get it repaired, had my moneys worth out of it though.
Re the steering wheel being off centre… the steering angle sensor needs calibrating with the diagnostic, ABS, etc rely on the signal from the steering angle sensor.
Wife's 2006 280CLK Mercedes is called the 2.5 K special (that's how much it cost in 2019) always wakes you up with "thault for the day". However we love it, cost us £293 which included an MOT and new battery in the last year..that's what you call bargain motoring. Hope you get as much pleasure out the S class as we had out of ours Jack👍
Great car for £900, perfect for a tinkerer like you Jack but i personally wouldn't spend too much on it. Looking forward to seeing the outcome👍🇬🇧
It needs a nickname, my starter for 10, ‘The Lemonsine’. ;)
That's great Brian.. will bear it in mind!
I bought one of these for 2000 Euros in 2018. Still runs great and only needed new tyres and service.
Battery voltage critical in Mercs of this generation. Worth checking they are both up to full charge and make sure they are exactly the correct battery for the car
Bought while drunk, paid less than a grand, multiple small issues. UA-cam gold! Jack, Number 27 remains the best channel in the whole of UA-cam!!
That’s really kind, thanks Ben!!!
I'd find the warning lights annoying and would also want to touch up the rust spots but putting those issues right should not cost too much and if you get hold of a half decent OBD diagnostic tool, you might actually be able to identify things like wheel speed sensors and then buy and replace them cheaply and easily yourself.
Not sure if I read the registration plate correctly.....
KN0 2 CUE...... Gotta be worth a lot more than the car, methinks.
I totally agree that the "finish" or choice of internal materials are not up to S class standards.
Look on the bright side. If zero £ spent over the next 12 months it still works out reasonably ok.... can still get at least £125 scrap - or split for spares. Win/win.
The eco bug started earlier, as I had a W140 and that rusted all over!
Actually looks very nice inside - so the quality is not that bad. The 'fix' for the SRS is not a fix, right? It's just a bypass. Like pulling the fuse to get rid of warning lights....
A bit of a long shot but all the warning lights could be to do with the steering not being straight, a lot of modern cars have steering angle sensors so the ABS/traction control knows which way the cars pointing. It maybe worth just having it tracked or check that nothings bent. I used to track cars for an insurance body shop and some would come in with all the warning lights on as the suspension had taken a knock, re-track them and sometimes the lights would go out.
With the rust the best adage I’ve heard is “what you see times by 3” for how much actual rust is underneath, so that arch maybe worse than it looks 😬
What a buy , the drive looked super .
Nice advert for Bonham's car auctions!
I've just bought a 20 year old C200 Kompressor for a pool car.Its needs bits but it's as nice as my 12 month old 318D touring.
Definitely attend to the rust while there's still metal underneath. Once it's like that, it'll start to move quickly.
A quick clean and polish will make it look so much better, then you'll be more enthused to sort out the niggles. I'd look at the odd steering angle as a priority but from underneath to see how much the track rods poke out of the joints. They should be equal. If they are, check for any accident damage. I wonder if this is the cause of the dashboard light.
The undercarriage of Mercs of this age are all rusty. I have an old GL which looks rusty from underneath. It's not bad - mostly only surface rust. If I could be bothered, I'd paint all the undercarriage with POR15 just to stop it getting any worse and it'd allow me to identify areas that are genuinely in need.
Either do the rust DIY using a good corrosion removal system or entrust the job to a restoration expert who understands rust, so not a dealer approved paint shop!
Looks a great buy and actually a clean example. I feel like you wanted to not like it before you even drove it as it sounds like the faults are minimal for £900. Great content for the channel, looking forward to seeing more.
Nice car Hoovie…oops I mean Jack 😂
Straight pipes. Let that beautiful five-0 V8 sing the song of its people for all to hear and admire!
Unfortunately that engine is connected to a slushamatic gearbox so it'll sound like shit.
It will drone like mad, trust me I've been there lol. Deleting the centre resonator will release a bit of the V8 loveliness without drone in the cabin.
abs system sees car driving in a straight line,- steering wheel angle sensor sees steering wheel going round a corner - whoops - light comes on ! get steering wheel re-centered [you can either adjust the track rod ends or take wheel off + move around a couple of splines], then reset steering angle sensor.[ i'd check tracking + reset TR ends mesel, less chance of breaking summit]
Treat it to a new battery which may solve a few issues?
I think the battery is ok but will check!!
Lovely Jubbly, a change in direction.
That’s a whole lot of car for £900 let’s face it. Build quality and rust issues aside that is one mirca killer! I’d have this over a Punto or the like for around £900! I’d drive that around in comfort proudly and I’d fix little bits as needed but I wouldn’t go over board with it.
It would be interesting to see how long it lasts, without spending any money on it. Keep it until about 3 months mot left on it and then flog it and see what you get for it!
You, sir, are absolutely fearless, as it seems...
Fearless or stupid. ;)
@@Number27 That is probably a matter of perspective... :D
disconnect the battery for a while then reconnect then strt the engine and turn the steering wheel full lock to the right then to the left and do this a few times then the warning lights hopefully will disappear had the same issue with mine and this solved the problem
Well done! Have looked at the S500 as well. Think the body is elegant! In light blue metallic it looks awesome. Air suspension is often the first to go kaput
Yes... so i hear!!
Set the steering alignment.
Start car with foot on brake, turn full left full lock right lock back to centre within 10 seconds.
Turn key off and back on./
I was in the same boat as you about 4 years ago, I bought one at the time for 2k and when it dove ok it was brilliant, then it wasn’t brilliant! It was a total nightmare! But tbh it’s an old merc!
Ha!! We’ll see what happens with this one!
As you suggest, I wouldn't spend a penny on it, use it for a year then sell it for what you paid. I've run an SLK 320 of similar vintage on that basis for three years and 25,000 miles with just an annual oil change and an MOT. Looks rough but goes great and I can park it anywhere without worrying about it.
Hmm ... steering has to do something probably with the TCS.
If it was left like that, an ABS sensor may be worn.
I'd blatantly say; check battery voltage - as I had a few pseudo DTCs just because the battery was on its way out (until it eventually gave up), on a much 'cheaper' car.
However it looks okay for that sum, and if it could be worked around, heck .. why not keep it till it falls apart?
What a great bus.... all that luxury for £900 fantastic. Do the essentials that annoy you and smoke it round for a while ..
Merc let the bean counters engineer the cars in that period. Massively tainted the brand as a result.
Yes it did, crying shame...
That is true, but when the w220 came out in 1998 it was really high tech and a pleasure to drive. Long term quality inside (soft colour on plastic, leather) and of the chassis is quite poor especially when you compare it with its predecessor the w140. Late 90s was the time to safe money in the car business, that problem goes through nearly all brands. Advantage is you can drive cheap s-classes today.
Don't under-estimate how much financial fear resulted from tearing apart the LS400
Was the smell of burning oil? Probably a weeping cam cover gasket leaking oil onto an exhaust manifold, very common on the 5.0 M113 V8. It was the case on my CLS 500 with the same engine. That engine is pretty much one of the most bulletproof V8s you can get though.
That’ll teach you to browse eBay after a few beers… subscribed!
Ha!! Thanks very much for subbing Keef!
Haven't read all the comments, but try disconecting the Battery and going through the set up thats on the web to set everything
5:14 Mercedes touched by Pilkinton 🇬🇧. So nice to see a w220 without too many rustspots. Good luck with your bargain cruiseship!
Oh look, Jack’s being the British Hoovie! Bad news Jack, you’re a bit too posh to be a Hoovie. Better get yourself a Whizard!
