Someone I know did a replacement diesel engine on a 300C. Fucking awful job, and he screwed it up, too. He absolutely refused to even contemplate pulling it out from underneath - why? No idea, but he's no technician, trust me. It came out minus the trans, and that proved to be a massive error. Went to court in the end, as he'd put in a dud engine. I have NO IDEA why he did that - it was an engine he owned out of a condemned Grand Cherokee, so did he think they wouldn't notice it was actually worse than the one they'd accidentally filled with gas instead of diesel? It barely ran, leaked oil and the turbo was kaput. Nasty old Merc diesels. Avoid... Dumb as dirt, but he still has their $10K, approx., and they have no car. Court ruled against him, but he just put the business into his son's name. He's NEVER going to pay them - he's said it in those words. Use someone who knows what they're doing. Looks like you have a fair idea... Nice outcome.

@andysaunders3708 Man that sounds terrible. It's sad that people will do that and then deny responsibility.
Get your audio sorted, my friend.
I'll sub for now, but I can barely hear you.
@@andysaunders3708 alrighty, thank you for the feedback.
