Best in the business... cant stand watching other explorers. Not only do you have an extensive knowledge of cars, buildings etc.. youre well spoken, polite and seem humble af. Can watch these vids, when im not feeling the world and it helps me chill out. Keep doing what ya doing bro.
That engine is a 3.0 M104, not a 3.2. The fuel injection side is original to that engine. It's not been carried over from the old 2.6 M103. You can bypass the fuel pump relay on these very easily by jumping the 2 centre pins which will allow the fuel pump to run continuously.
We've seen you save a few cars out the bushes or a garage. I don't know if I missed an update but could we have an update of the cars you've saved Colin. Cheers.
I did 13 years working beamers mercs and the audi range. Now from memory there is a fuel pump relay in back of the engine bay. If they sit for a long time they get corrosion on the contacts and don't connect and thus don't start the pump. You can take the relay out and take its cover off and put it back into its mount after carefully giving the (contacts) terminals a scrape. Then try starting it. It should close the relay and start the pump. If that doesn't work try manually closing the relay. The pump should start. We had a dead relay in the shop that had a light and switch attached to it to quickly check the power in and out for testing the pump operation. That motor is the good one . The W140 6 cyl motors were garbage. The crap wiring looms for the coils disintegrated if you moved them . While you are playing in the fuse box check fuse number 7 or 8 ( for the heater fan) as the fan motor slowly seizes on its bearings and heats up the fuse holder melting it before it blows the fuse. There were a lot of them out there with an aftermarket fuse holder hanging loose in the fusebox. good luck.
I know absolutely nothing about cars but love seeing them getting saved and worked on to bring them back to life thank you Colin that was a fantastic explore stay safe x
I started watching you the other day because of the abandoned urbex videos but I am surprised and extremely happy that you are also a car guy! Cant wait to see more vids.
Worth a fortune if you get it cleaned up & tidied up. Very nice project & a beautiful piece of engineering. She’ll run for years if it’s well maintained. Cheers 🙌
Hi That is going to be a very nice car once you work your magic on it.I do like a Merc myself.Look forward to see what you do and how it all turns out.Hopefully you will keep us all updated on progress. Great video Colin you always seem to still make them entertaining,just starting a car. Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😃
Wow, the Mercedes is in really good condition, the wood, the leather, the body, at first glance it looks like a good car. But the yellow fog lights point more to a French model. In the USA and in Germany they are on the rise! When I think back to the fact that many years ago 190E 2.6-16V ended up in the scrap heap!! This car has a mega good substance! Great video, fun to watch. cheeRS Klaus from Düsseldorf
@mercedesmadman238 Sorry the 2,5-16V! Ist´s a Model in Evo-Style! from Mercedes Benz. Very rar in 2,3-16V and the 2.5-16V! Most in black, or silver That´s the base of the Cosworth Evo Mercedes 190.
wow thats quite unique and will be really cool once you get it sorted! Glad you are going for a manual gearbox - its the drivers choice! Really look forward to more videos on this and your other cars! Keep up the good work!!🙂
Should be an exciting project Colin ,definitely the way to go dependent on cost auto to manual make the most of the oomph ..........should clean up well ...pity the golf convertible is your choice to go to make room although never seen it on TH-cam ...👍
Prior to 1967, Sweden automobiles drove on the left side of road as you guys do in the UK, in other words theirs vehicles were RH drive, then overnight on a designated day they began driving on the right side of roads with cars gradually switching to LH drive - a bit of auto history.
Mercedes 190e s are to cherished.Prices are rising especially the 2.3 and 2.6 versions.Currently have 2 on the road and renovating a limited edition LReg LE version.Cheers.Rog.
190 is an absolute favourite and with that engine you have got something very interesting. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Al is an absolute legend at working out the issues!
@7.14, Colin, never put your arm under a unsupported vehicle, if that'd slipped off the jack you could have ended up with a broken arm when it dropped down, only thinking of your safety mate
There needs to be a clean tank and clean fresh fuel before you turn it over. Maybe clean the fuel filter from the tank. I would never turn it over before I replaced the fuel. It'll ruin the injectors. It's the coil pack gone bad I'll bet!!
bro there's a machine that you sit inside the car to get rid of all the bugs and things? and that should polish up nicely if you take your time and don't get the panels too hot.
Love all your car videos but sorry we don’t get to see them as you are doing them up. That would be so interesting. There was only ever one video done on your reliant robin by Al and not the promise, second part of it which was a great shame. Every time we watch his videos, your car is still sitting there with nothing else done to it 😔
It’s not forgotten just awaiting the delivery of a replacement engine , the original was basically financially not viable and getting a good known replacement has taken some time.( no point buying the first one off eBay with the hope it works) I’ve finally sourced one from a friend and hopefully in the next few weeks he’s going to drop it off when he’s passing . So all going well and time allowing it won’t be much longer. Hope that clears things up for you Al 6DDiesels 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorset Thank you Al. We understand what you are saying and look forward to seeing the next instalment. Got to thank Colin for introducing us to your channel - we are absolute devotees now and have watched everything you have uploaded so far.
Hi there bearded Explorer I'm John from East London I'm only the literally now just getting into your videos as I've been watching the abandoned world Explorer so to be honest this video is going to be a first one on watching and then I will walk go back through about how long you been doing the videos to the first one you did so I'm facing you done the to watch the last one which is this one or should say in the more up-to-date one and then we'll start going back through the months and years the only one I don't think I'll be watching as the one where the police turned up with guns remember coming across value videos where you apparently at least that we've done that don't think I'll be watching that
Great video. Hope there is a follow up, showing cleaning, restoration, etc. Nice!!!

It's great to see someone who wants to bring back a old car back to life. Even with just a clean up it will look nice

@@TheBeardedExplorer awesome, can't wait.
Good to see Al too 👍

Nice wheels. Pretty decent condition. I had my fingers crossed hoping it would move. Yay, it did! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now my bearded friend…That Mercedes has potential 👍👍😎😎
Nice ride mate she will clean up well! Please post updates!
Hi Colin hope your doing good.
Thats one very cool looking Mercedes 190E. I love the color of it.

If it had an engine swap, probably not. You have to find the right kind of people to pay big bucks for a project car.
Nice seeing 6D in your video! 😁
Beast of a Car, Colin. Great find, and enjoy! Brilliant upload.

I enjoyed that ,Colin . Looking forward to your , Bearded restorer channel .
Neat and well done, congratulations Bro

That's a really nice one ! Congrats !!!🎉❤
Not seen any of the other 'saved' cars finished yet, or even started on?
Well I’m currently driving one of them around now, my new channel will be released soon where you can see all the work I do on them 🙂
Great video, great car and Al is a star ,looking forward to this one
would love to see this car being restored and put back on the road again!
Them fuel pump relays are easy to change or repair with the right tools.
Keep it for ever ❤️
228,000 km hmmm
a bit of a gamble in my opinion
good luck
Great video Colin, great car, great engine,and it runs, bonus!,not too much to do on it, looking forward to watching more👌😀👍
Awesome car it going to look nice
wow thats quite unique and will be really cool once you get it sorted! Glad you are going for a manual gearbox - its the drivers choice!
Really look forward to more videos on this and your other cars! Keep up the good work!!🙂
As usual an excellent video, really enjoyed watching,thank you 👍
Are u in 6d diesils yard 😎
Great video,cracking choice of car by the way.Looking forward to seeing further progress on this,hopefully turns out a good one. Thanks Colin
Ace video 👍
Great video I watched this Sunday the 18th of June 23
Should be an exciting project Colin ,definitely the way to go dependent on cost auto to manual make the most of the oomph ..........should clean up well ...pity the golf convertible is your choice to go to make room although never seen it on TH-cam ...👍
I’d leave it auto manual mercs of this era are horrible to drive with a very sloppy gear change
When does the bearded restorer start looking forward to it Colin 👍
Very soon 🙂
Al got his topdon back.....he can start any thing...
I've got the 2000, wish I could have stretched to the 3000
Great to see you have a pro with you 😂😂
That will be a fun car, had a 320 coupe and it pretty fast. Maybe you could fit an intake airflow booster aswell, its a cheap upgrade.
Ah, Al has finally sold something 😂😂.
Whats happening with the 3 wheeler ?
Good luck with your project ×
Love the vids bro, but get a mic! Will improve sound quality no end 👌
6 D Diesel garage 🤗
I thought some of the other vehicles looked familiar
All these cars you save, & are never seen again! Are you trying to start up your own car graveyard ?? 🤔
That’s because I’ve been filming them for my new channel coming soon
@@TheBeardedExplorer looking forward to that 👍
It’s because he’s a bmw boy at heart and as much as everyone loves the old 190e it’s just not an e30 👀😂

I reckon the fuel pump were a bit seized. Nice project 👍🏻
Could I ask do you still have your Merc camper any up date that 190 e looks awsum
I would like to see your cars when they are restored.
What is your personal favorite car you have saved? I'm glad you are doing this. Its really interesting to watch, hope we see the finished car soon.
Loved that. Is it haunted?
190 is an absolute favourite and with that engine you have got something very interesting. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Al is an absolute legend at working out the issues!
You where only supposed to blow the tyres up 😅😂
When is the other channel starting!
Very soon 🙂

I think the Regal van will have to go.
Is that a little Yorkiepoo?
Taxi!!
What's your new channel called please
That's the 3.0 m104, swap a manual gearbox onto it as those love to rev.
3.2
cool
Is this another one we’ll never hear about ever again? 😂
Your find out soon 😉
Why there's a left hand drive in UK
There needs to be a clean tank and clean fresh fuel before you turn it over. Maybe clean the fuel filter from the tank. I would never turn it over before I replaced the fuel. It'll ruin the injectors.
It's the coil pack gone bad I'll bet!!
What a load of rubbish 😂
bro there's a machine that you sit inside the car to get rid of all the bugs and things? and that should polish up nicely if you take your time and don't get the panels too hot.
U need to work things out with stokze mate
We’re have 🙂
@@TheBeardedExplorer oh that's good to hear mate,was wondering what was going on between u two,glad uve sorted things out👍😊

I wouldnt change it to a manual as they don’t drive nowhere near as nice as the automatics and have a very nasty gear change
wtf is wrong with the UK that there are so many rotting cars?
Left hand drive no thanks
Your audio is not good. Too much wind noise.
It's a cool car but shit it's left hand drive tho
Makes no difference at all !
@@donaljamescaddye3805Try pulling out at some junctions in one and then say that
The 190 and a series was the worst cars ever made by Mercedes did you no that my friend
K reg is 1971 not 1992.
ABC 123K would be 1971 whereas K123 ABC would be 1992.
It's both .
