So you're talking about re-coupe-ing your loss. See what I did there?
Years ago,A guy I knew bought a 220SE from the Beverly Hills Car club and shipped it to Australia ($35,000!) .It was worse than that one,and because the prices he got from shops here to rebuild the body were extreme ,He shipped the car to Latvia where they performed some sort of magic and returned it to like new condition. Anything is possible. 😁😁
Californias CARB has just banned all gas cars and even vintage cars and motorbikes, other states will follow. In EU the new Schlaboubve laws will bann all gas cars from 2027 on! In Switzerland you are not allowed any longer to drive with gas cars on mountain roads and passes any longer...(Heschlavvo laws)

The speedometer cable clip removal tip is GREAT!
This guy is delusional.
Thanks for the lesson. My '84 240d four speed needs both brakes and clutch work.
No offense but to destroy that convertible would be a crime. Restore the convertible
💯
I needed this. It's too cold in the Midwest to work on my '84 240D. So this is my fix.
Thank you so much michael! Youre the man!
Good video! Hopefully someone takes it on, you definitely have 99% of what's needed. Good observation on the old repair- probably few of these classic sports cars lived the charmed life we'd hope they did.
PASS!
Very interesting!!! Thanks 👍🏻
How much would you like for this project?
Being a fan of your channel and living in Thailand as a German expat I have to contradict you a bit on shipping to Asia or Europe for cheap labour. Labour is cheap, but not if you have to find someone to restore a soft top or work on a classic car. Cheap prices apply to spraying an old Toyota red, or easy mechanical work. I have a S123, W 123, and Peugeot 504 here in Bangkok, so I know a bit about this :) I love your channel, Michael!
Some actual wire wheels would be cool with that car if they fit. Thanks for the tour.
europeans do not use wire wheels, Mercedes also
Very informative and useful instructions Mak Pakistan
Der ist doch besoffen 😂
I used to have a rubber(?) cap on top of the fan , to keep dirt/dust off of the top of the fan spindle. Where can I get a replacement. Thanks for this video!!
If you don't have the key for an 85 300D how do you get it apart? The driver and passenger handles on mine have screws inside the door as well. The passenger came off with no "tang" as you call it. The driver handle will not remove. It tangled in the latch mech. I have no key. Ignition key won't turn in the door handles.
Hello sir, hope all is well. Currently waiting for my new pump to arrive for a w116, quick question. We cleaned the area where the pump sits. What I wanted to know is oil dripped from this hole, not a lot, just a bit., should I be worried or can I just install the new pump when it arrives? Also we turned over the motor with the pump removed to get oil circulating as car stood a long time before. Could that cause damage or not(turning over engine with this fuel pump removed)?
is this mercedes w124 an american car you are working on because that resistor is for a 1994-1995 w124
Hi Michael, do you have a good way of diagnosing / finding vacuum leaks on a central locking loop? My w116 has a leak somewhere and the doors can only lock/unlock on a good day, it may be the master switch, but also other bits too. I was thinking some sort of vacuum tester?? How can I make one?
👍
Wish you had a hotline we could Call 🙂🇩🇰
Michael you are just so great 👍🏻🇩🇰
What's the best way of disconnecting the vacuum lines(w123) when removing the door from the vehicle? is there a connector block somewhere?
I find it much easier to remove the door from the vacuum lines, if that makes sense. I get a helper to hold the door while I unbolt it, and then I guide the vacuum lines out while my helper slowly pulls the door away.
Hi Michael great vids you make,,, thanks for explaning what you do.. it helps new Mercedes guy like me.. wish you live just nextdoor 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Michael! I knew this was a bear of a job and you made it a lot easier.
Good video, thanks! 🙏🏻
mine was leaking gas, drops. I replaced very easy but i purchase very shot wrenches 13mm new fuel lines also pump is cheap, as i remember $70 or something
Do you have a similar video for shifter surround/center console for a w123? I've got my console gutted and still can't figure out how to get it off. Trying to hide wires underneath.
Yes, here's the link. The shifter console removal is at about the fourteen-minute mark. th-cam.com/video/UxJl0GMhIZw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot, that's the real gold
Nice information.

Thank you Michael for this information I have a question: you referred to the emergency flasher switch. When my turn signals have an intermittent problem. When they don't run on i cycle the emergency flasher switch and they star working again.... for a while and then stop. Have you seen this?
Nice.
Can you do a window alignment video for the 250c?:)
I think I do on my W114 door service video series. It's in four parts and I think I replace a regulator, which requires aligning the window. I'll check...
@michaelthemercedesguy thank you michael, the coupes don't have the pillar, so i wasn't sure if it was different since the window like to hang outward and angled like the car in the video
@@bmxboi72 Ah, that's right, we filmed that on a sedan. Yes, the coupes are quite a bit more involved. Not sure when I'll get the opportunity to film that. If you want to call me I can walk you through it. My number is in the description to each of my videos.
Just posted! th-cam.com/video/-O5zgwiuvu0/w-d-xo.html
@michaelthemercedesguy thank you so much michael!
Looks like the Classic Center sent you the upper windows seal for the soft top. There are separate pieces for the top and rear of window so it can fold away. Your video was a great help to me!
💪
Great video!
Nice information.
