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.
When you decide to be a "specialist" you generally know your product, take pride and have standards in what your're doing, rather than the All makes type have-a-go garages.
Thanks to Matt for the link. You do realise you've added about 2 weeks to the 40 day booking wait for these chaps to look at my W211 E240! Seriously congrats on the new subs. Shows class, honesty and real knowledge wins through in the end.
They look dated nowadays but im never selling mine. iv kept mine mechanically good and interior spotless. People are always surprised that i had a built in telephone (that works) next to the radio
@@kondjanegongo796my dad also has one, I have had 2 of these before and they were absolutely bulletproof 3.2 petrol. I have 2013 ML3.5 petrol. To keep W163 is the king of suburban and very good at off-roading
@@bekabeka71 the best thing is that there are so many scapped cars that getting replacement parts isnt that expensive... and for off-roading its not as scary as driving a newer one offroad.
Sometimes, genuine Mercedes/OEM parts are a no-brainer. I had to replace an intercooler hose on my 2009 W204 C200 CDI and the genuine part was just over £61 from the dealer against £80+ from my trusty motor factor.
I was impressed that you Cound get a camera into some of those tight spaces, when getting a hand and the tools in is often hard enough. Matt is right, servicing the transmission, new filters and fluids can really transform things. This was a quality expensive car when new, it deserves some TLC.
I have owned 4 of these ML's over the years. Drive a '03 as my daily. Love them. Sturdy as bricks, comfortable, and great in snow. (I live in Arizona and yes we have lots of snow in the mountains) Thanks for the video.
Nice to see a young person still interested and working in a normal garage, good on him, even though they are Mercedes Benz. Matt was right to promote your channel, great video.
Good doco. You must be a really dedicated mechanic the job could really be off putting. Again the right tools is a must. And i would hate to see the bill if a mercedes dealership did the work. Very good docco, most interesting watching the surgery take place. Cheers, Rickie
ML’s are vastly underrated My 1999 SL320 R129 is the straight six. Owned her since 2010 with 48k now on 60k They’re great with TLC and a pocket full of money
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?
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!
Great video - interesting to see those jobs get done properly! I’m subscribed to here and to High Peak Autos, so will chase it up there too 😀. Looking forward to next videos.
Underrated car. A ML500 is very comfy and top towing car. I still own one since new and no major repairs. Only the reservoirs coolant and washer fluid renewed because of aging.
Great video lads, it restores faith in the motor vehicle industry seeing genuine hard work put into Matts pride and joy, my local garage is ex Mercedes mechanic and he is excellent as well, must be a Mercedes thing ! Keep up the great work ...
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.......
Great channel...hope you grow..really like how thorough you are..everything fixed above and beyond..good to see a mechanic that doesnt take the easy route
Hi from Western Australia. I love High Peak videos, especially the “I just bought a cheap….” Ones . I’m here because of HPA and am now subscribed. Great job - love watching genuinely thorough, honest mechanics.
Very interesting video of Matt’s car. It’s good to get an insight into why a parts replaced and it clearly shows the benefit of using a Mercedes specialist with all the years of experience.
Here from High Peak. Like your video format. A good honest mechanic who clearly knows his trade. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your content.
@@sprautos what about the w123 pal? I have a 280ce coupe 1982, needs fuel line replacement and some general engine service work. My next door neighbour has a w124. He used to use someone who has since retired. If you Or you know of anyone please let us know. Thanks!
I love your use of the word “Dizzy” for distributor, and have always used it myself. This comment is on the wrong video I know, but I lost the original sorry. Dizzy - live on! Good job and good diagnosis of thinking outside the box 😅
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.
Found this channel by chance, and have been looking at a few videos now. Wow, you will be lucky to find a workshop like this 👍🏻. Keep up the quality work!
16 plugs 😮I had one of these a long time ago never had it long enough to do a service and thank god 😂😂🤦♂️loved it though fast for the size of the beast
I’m not a mechanic but I really enjoyed this. I subscribe to Matt’s channel so it’s interesting to see the considerable work behind the scenes. I Don’t know if this sounds sad but I enjoy seeing the underbody, suspension components and chassis etc! Many thanks.
Like most of us wish you were local . Love old Mercedes cars . Had 123’s W124 w126 W114 W212 and now a lovely W213 . Great cars and lovely to see your passion
I would drive my Merc from south of London to Stockport to have my car looked at by you guys ,Nice to watch a proper skilful job being done, Such a rarity
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!

Buy a Toyota and you'll pay less for maintenance costs.
I hope that they are like this when the camera is not filming
16 spark plugs are prob more than that car is worth
I wish my local garages were as thorough as you guys

Proper job, a mechanic with a conscience. Great video thanks.
Thanks 👍

Excellent video, no bullsh*t, from what can be described as a perfect witness.
Your business deserves every success.
I appreciate that!
What a brilliant mechanic!
I had one of these ML’s - very comfy and all analogue inside, switches and buttons (remember buttons!?)
Like the style of video, no BS, no pathetic advertising just quality content showing how to. Keep up the good work 👍
Great content and a good in-depth review of a proper service on an ML500.

Hope so! Thank you 🙏
THANK YOU for the video .thorough job .😃
Subbed. Great timing to put this and Matt's up the same day. Great marketing strategy. Cheers from the Republic of Panama 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great Ep..... 'old cars that drive like old cars'... what more could you want!

The world needs knowledgeable, professionals like you. If only more could be as good. Great, interesting video. THank you.
So nice of you say. Thank you 🙏 all the best
Great work keeping this old'girl on the road Sam
MLs are still great to drive. Mine is 20 years old (owned from new) and still running like new at 154,000 miles.
These are the guys you need looking after your car…great work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks 👍
You should call yourself the car surgeon - great to see you all take such pride in your work. So good to watch 👍
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic to see tradesman who take pride in there work 👍
Subscribed, great video and came from High Peak Autos😀🇳🇴
Thanks for the sub!
Really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing Sam.
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?
I can’t help my self if the air box is dirty 🙈 sad i know.
28nm is the manufacturer specific torque setting.
W163 was The best 4x4 from 90s 💪🏼
Goes to show the importance of finding a good specialist and entrusting them with the ongoing maintenance work. Good video.
Popped over from matts channel and very impressed propper job with young trainees
Thank you. They are doing really well. Great cars for them to learn on.

Came over from Highpeak. Enjoyed this.
Welcome 🙏
proper mechanics.well worth spending the time and money on this gem.❤
I know that belt pulleys shouldn't spin so freely. But I always thought that it might help to stop sapping power from the engine.
Underrated car. A ML500 is very comfy and top towing car. I still own one since new and no major repairs. Only the reservoirs coolant and washer fluid renewed because of aging.
Agreed. This was a nice old school drive
we used to clean the trans pans in a diesel bath, then just brake cleaner to finish...
Great video lads, it restores faith in the motor vehicle industry seeing genuine hard work put into Matts pride and joy, my local garage is ex Mercedes mechanic and he is excellent as well, must be a Mercedes thing ! Keep up the great work ...
Found your channel through Matt at highpeak. Very good from what ive seen so far. Keep up the good work. Subscribed! Hello from Scotland 🏴
Many thanks it’s all new to us so hopefully get better as we go along. I will let missis know as she is 🏴
That was so satisfying to watch all that servicing
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 😂
Apart from being most educational I absolutely love your dead-pan delivery. If you ever get bored of saving old Mercs, look to the stage!
Thanks Jeremy, glad your enjoying them, plus my personality 😂👌
