Great videos. I have purchased many kits from you. I really appreciate the fuse tool and the shifter bushing tool! My recent purchase of a 1982 380sl had me using all of your tips and tools. Half of the electrical items in my car were not working. You should have seen how bad the fuse box looked with all the wrong fuses installed in the slots and at least 8 blown fuses littering the floorboard!!! All is well now and after 3 months of work, it is back in the road and just beautiful! I used your guides for replacing my timing chain guides also! Grand total including $600 purchase price is $2047!!! Mercedes really built a bank vault of a car in 1982! Thanks for all you do! You are the Master!!
Hi Kent, thought I'd drop you a line after watching no end of your MB videos for a number of years now. I thoroughly appreciate your work here on YT, so much so that almost four years ago I decided I felt confident enough to take the plunge myself. I bought a 180.000 mls one-owner 2007 CLS 320 CDI here in Austria, Europe myself. Still have the car, still doing the weekly commute in it, still doing lots of maintenance work on it myseif, e.g. brakes, suspension, sorting electrical gremlins and standard servicing. I by far wouldn't have felt confident enough to tackle all that without your enthusiasm and profound advice. Heartfelt thanks for everything you do on here from across the pond, Klaus :)
When my son had a 240, cleaning the switches restored the power window functions on the three that didn't work.....a little grease on the sunroof slides and that started working too....good old cars these are!!
Love watching your videos . I have owned an R129 for 17 years and purchased a 1991 w126 300se 5 years ago. One of the first jobs I did was change all the fuses, it helped with some iffy starting
Interesting video series :) Those old fuses looked so bad I was surprised, that replacing them made only the blower motor working again. It'll be interesting to see what else is broken, wires at the door jambs or even under the fuse box? Dirty contacts at the switches? Seized power window motors?
