Im really enjoying everything about this series. The presenters are great and very relatable,and the format of only having £500-£1500 is so me. I have never paid over £1200 for a car that i always try to get 2 or 3 years out of. I currently run a Ford Focus cc 2.0 petrol,and the roof motor overheats so i dont use it.I bought it like this with a full mot and running and looking like new,and thouught i will just use it like any other hard top. Its a great car and the original owner has it fully spec out,and i paid just £800.00 for it and im gertain to get 3 years out of this one.

From the editions I have seen so far, this has best for dejection moving to delight when you get assistance from those ‘in the know’. The winner of the bids has done really well to get a virtually new motor for little money. This programme on the whole is a really good watch. Keep ‘em coming.

@zanmansor4255 6 месяцев назад

I am surprised they didn't think of plugging in the scanning tool when they bought the car to see the fault codes. I have W210 E200k and first thing the mechanic usually does is to plug in MB Star to check the fault codes. Had they done that they would have saved a lot of money and time figuring out what was wrong. Gus shouldn't just trust the Google experts. (Edited) But again this is a car show and somehow I felt they wanted to fully utilise the 5 days whereas had they gone ahead and get someone to properly diagnose the car with a scanning tool they could have completed the car in less than 5 days. Everyone who owns a post W124 model knows that you need to plug the cars into scanning tool to get the fault codes and eliminate the guess work.

@random-person1 6 месяцев назад

It's odd that the previous owners didn't do that then, wouldn't you say? You're right, the first thing any mech worth a few bob will do is plug in a scan tool (usually an obd2). Still, they got there in the end.

@zanmansor4255 6 месяцев назад

@@random-person1 as a merc owner I understand the frustration of the previous owner.esp with cars that have a lot of electronics.again the previous owner may had tried DIY by googling the symptoms and following Google experts...I also did that just to narrow down the problem but in the end it is always better to get the car plugged into scanning tool so that you don't waste money and time. One time my car went to limp mode and the BAS/ASR/Brake lights all came out. Off the engine and it was ok then it happened again off and on again. Mechanic plugged in the tool and found out the brake switch was faulty a component that was cheap. Replaced it and solved the issue.

@random-person1 6 месяцев назад

@@zanmansor4255 and there it is. the mech plugged in his scan tool and found the problem. it was like when the chap bought a new tin lid when he actually didnt need one. most likely he needn't have changed the pumps and actuator either. so spending 50 quid to have your car scanned saves shed loads of money in the long run!

@bmwrepaircrew8848 Месяц назад

It’s very real! Go buy an SLK! I’m sitting in one of my 3 as I type this - this one was a barn find and even though I have SL500’s and an SL55, I love these little SLKs as they are like a Miata and great on gas, and the most honest reason is they don’t have any air or hydraulic suspension so I trust them to drive longer stretches 😉😉. Past think I want is an ABC line blowing out 50 miles from home 😅. These are also very easy to work on. You can DIY rebuild the hydraulics of the top for $25-40. Only 5 hydraulic cylinders

A lot of the electronic modules are coded for the one car's VIN. They won't work on any other car without being reset to the new VIN. Specialist knowledge and equipment is essential to fixing the computer systems.

@chrispenn715 6 месяцев назад

Yep -had one of these about 6-7 years ago. Numerous problems with the coded modules. A major issue is that oil seeps out of the gearbox up into the gearbox ECU (in the passenger footwell) and causes chaos. I never got it working properly and sold it with faults. A total crock of sh@t car, possibly the worst one I've ever owned..... Wouldn't touch another. 🙂

This is the second episode of Flipping Bangers I have seen. The first was Mercedes 190. I really liked that one. I must say this was a disappointment. No troubleshooting, no fault code reading, etc. Just buying and swapping random parts without knowing what the cause of the issues is. One has the issues fixed, the other buys a roof which is not needed. Quite illogical.

Any control modules are specific to the individual car and either are not interchangeable or need to be reprogrammed to the car. You can't just change modules and hope to cure a problem, with this sort of car always go direct to a specialist.

@floydstewart2956 6 месяцев назад

I owned one like this, same colour, same engine and spec. It was a lovely car but I did end up having to fix all types of issues. Repainted the interior using special interior paint from Germany, various roof mech sensors, replaced a leaking pneumatic seal on the roof, fixed broken gear selector, replaced roof headlining, replaced broken window mechanisms etc etc. it was endless. The jerky gear selection was fixed by replacing gearbox oil and filter. Another issue to look for (there are many!!!) is the maf sensor which makes the engine run rough. All were completely achievable with just the most basic knowledge. The problem with these guys is that they don’t possess the skills to do these most basic tasks and as a result end up wasting crazy amounts of money. I find this show really frustrating to watch. For anyone considering buying one, they’re lovely to drive and well worth considering. But the interior is extremely brittle and fragile at this age. Just be prepared to do lots of DIY fixes.
