      I can't believe people complain about Christian working on their cars, making them decide not too touch anyone else's car. The trouble they go to machining tools and all that. If something didn't work I'd just think I bought a faulty part. He is so thorough isn't he? The whole family are highly talented. Their videos are brilliant.

You sure packed a lot into this episode guys, I had to watch it twice to fit it all into my tiny brain. That A-Class is a pretty interesting design, haven't seen that kind of idler carrier before. I am thoroughly entertained once again, thank you.

      Oh no, no no. I have to keep and drive that car for a while, if not a year. We cannot flip cars, like fulltime UA-camrs. Our cars need to be daily drivers, that is why also cannot work on a Disco 1 or 2. We work very hard to afford our Land Rovers. 😌😀🙋‍♀️

    That Cross for Vera's uncle's grave is truly beautiful. Robin you are an extremely talented young man. If that is of your own design, I feel you will be making some truly brilliant pieces of the Blacksmith's Art. Art worthy of a design gallery or a modern art museum. Very well done! Christian, what is the procedure to dispose of that Mercedes coolant? It must be a level four biological hazard!

    • @Vera_and_Christian
      @Vera_and_Christian  Місяць тому

      All hazardous fluids are easily, and free of charge, disposed in Germany. There are once a months collection stations. We often show that in our videos when we go and dispose of any kind fluid out of vehicles. No need to dump them somewhere 👍👌🙋‍♀️

Robin, the memorial you made is stunning, beautiful, and very unique. Well done. Christian, your humour always brightens my weekend. One final thing...... I can't believe you have to remove the ECU to change an air filter. Mercedes have clearly gone mad!! Haha

    Thank God Robin has a Mercedes, a while ago I asked if Vera could pronounce Mercedes as I like to hear the German pronunciation of it. Any way I was blessed with both of you saying Mercedes a number of times through out your video.
    Christian = 5 Vera = 4, = one happy viewer.
    Anyway just changed all the Discs and pads on my E Class wagon (all genuine Mercedes parts of course) and Otto is one happy car.
    Great content as usual and Robins fabricated Cross is absolutely a fantastic gesture to your Uncle, Vera. May he RIP 🙏🏻

    I've never come across anyone else who has a bit of old coathanger wire in their in-car emergency toolkit; thought it was just me!! So useful! Just like the other week it was great to know I'm not the only one who takes the weights off wheels, and washes them, before taking them loose to the tyre shop, as I don't trust them to touch the car or even to take the weights off!!

    At one time I thought about getting an MB B-Class as the next houndmobile. After watching what you guys had to do to change out a serpentine belt, the hound can continue to ride along in the old X5 that we have while we wait for a decent Disco3/4 to come along to replace it. Another perfect example of auto designers/engineers not being required to maintain their creations/designs in the real world.
