    Hello SPR
    Its me from last week comment section, first of all glad you got the mics sorted i did mention this last week shout out to your friends for sorting it.
    I have a C63 myself and im glad finally in the UK someone is doing a series on it.
    Around 30 min episodes are perfect they fit in with my lunch break lol
    Dont want 3 to 4 episodes for this series if you can make 10 minimum that would be great.
    Thank You 😊

    I worked for MBUK back in the day when the 190 came out!!!!! Really enjoying this series as I've owned a few CL55's and an E63 before, so it's nice to see exactly what is involved with these jobs. Found you through High Peak if that helps you.

    Great content! Found you via High Peak Autos and love the way you show the full process rather than editing it ie “we’ve fitted that now….”. The C63 is a great car, nearly bought a 35K mile minter during lockdown but couldn’t bear to trade in my 2013 SLK55AMG.
    Subscribed and looking forward to the next instalment. TonyS

      Errr, yes, but that was over two years ago. I’m past 65 now so I wanted a bit more luxury and comfort. I traded it last October for a 2017 SL500 4.7 twin turbo. 12.5K miles and two owners from new from a main dealer, sorry! (Though I think it may be even quicker!)@@sprautos

    Top video. Had work done by sam at spr. Best amg specialist around. The blown exhausts, will it not mean the cats are blocked causing pressure build up. Ive heard a few block up.

    • @sprautos
      @sprautos  Рік тому

      the welds crack on the cats on the AMGs generally becasue of worn engine mounts and or plenty of hooning around ;) but yes they can also break up block up that is not unheard of. but these cats are fine.
      Thank you for you kind words.
