    Hello Simon, I'm from Germany/Berlin and couldn't believe my eyes when someone from the USA started working on a Mercedes 240 D. You should know that this model series has long since disappeared from the German streetscape, but was the taxi model in Germany and Europe until the early/mid 1980s. I myself had a 3.0 litre diesel from this series, they were extremely reliable but also boring and slow. Today in 2024, the picture has changed, today they are "eye-catchers" and are revered. In Greece and Turkey, they still run as taxis, some with a mileage of 2 million kilometres. The engines are oversized and can be overhauled at any time. The big problem was rust, which you can also see on your green bouncer. From here I can only tell you that you carry out the repairs with absolute professionalism and I appreciate the fact that you now wear protective gloves when handling the various liquids and often support your vehicles when you lift them. You set standards compared to the many screwdriver videos that repair their cars with a mechanical jack on sand. And as an outro I find your various cat relationships funny, I also have a stray cat who sometimes sits on my BMW S1000 in the morning and thinks he has to tell me his women's stories. So, I am eagerly awaiting the continuation of your 240 D development, and if you need support with parts or whatever, I will be happy to hear from you. Michael from Berlin

      Just from observing the quality of the components, these cars look like they were designed to last forever. They kind of remind me of farm machinery from the 60's and 70's, which was still designed then with the same intention.

    Simon……I’ve done basically what you’ve done here for new brakes all around on my ‘85. I want to warn you of a disaster lurking waiting to happen and that is the driveshaft u-joints. There aren’t any. This model uses rubber donut components that most owners do not inspect and they fail and drop the driveshaft flipping the car. Do a thorough inspection of them front and rear and replace if any rubber degradation is observed. You can handle it. Not as hard as the brake work.

    • @patricks8086
      @patricks8086 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      Almost all Mercedes Benz have those same rubber joints. Also inspect the carrier bearing, engine and transmission mounts. All are commonly worn out and fairly inexpensive.

    Great work fixing up the Mercedes again, I had a 1975 300 D back in 1986, first diesel I ever owned but what a nice comfortable car and in the winter months even better. Was equipped with a block-heater for the engine and made it so much easier to start those frosty winter days.
    One time it was so dang cold and bad snowstorm going on all evening and night..I left the car running the whole night.. lol Diesel was cheap back then...defroster on high speed and such a good insulation on these cars..kept it warm & cozy inside.
    Snow tires made the Benz go like a tank thru ice and snow, just a great automobile built with quality !!

    In the last video Simon has a huge reliance on power tools, especially wheel bolts, in his video he did NOT show the MANDATORY hand tightening that is required. If those power tools are low on battery, that tire is flying off on the roadway and could cause another family serious damage. Always torque to correct specifications! Including this brake caliper. Good video documentation. That engine needs a Veggie cleanse.

    I compared a Mercedes 240D with a Volvo 242 back in late 1977. The Volvo was about $7500, versus the 240D at over $10,000.00. I ended up buying the Volvo, but I've wondered if I had bought the Mercedes would I still have it today? I sold the Volvo in 1979 and bought a VW Rabbit Diesel, 45+ mpg. Maintenance is the key for longevity in any car, but especially for the diesel versions. You are a very good mechanic, Simon.

    Nice content, pretty hooked. Judging the tachometer from the 325, it’s an ETA.

    I bought a car that had been smoked in, and tried everything, but the only thing that worked was an ozone generator. It requires multiple treatments and as somebody down below mentioned, you'll want to leave your blower fan ON and in recirculate mode during the treatment. I put a battery charger on my battery so as not to wear the battery down. I'd do 90 minute treatments this way, probably did half a dozen of them all told, and the smell is completely gone.

      Good thinking. I let it run a couple times but I see that wasn't enough

      I think a lot of people just don’t get what my videos are. To each their own, I know it’s not for everyone. I’m very fortunate that most all my videos are at least 97% likes to dislikes
