- Happy New Year everyone welcome back to the channel. Buying cars is very much a large part of any motor traders day, but buying cars that very quickly develop a fault that wasn't there when purchasing it unfortunately is also a large part of any motor traders day. Join me on one of them days with what is a very lovely car........but has an issue.
As always thanks every one for your support with this channel, Claire and me are looking forward to the coming year very much with our new site and this new channel, lets jump in.
Kev and Claire.

Hi ya love your content aution and prep work. Been trying to find the one with the guy who said not to sand headlights. Did you drive away in a mini?
Well done with the air spring. Happy new year.

Looking forward to more great content this year.
Thanks Andrew, appreciate that, I'll try my best 👍👍👍
Happy new year Kev & family. Really needed to see your chirpy face today 😂 you've passed on a very boring hour at work for me. Looking trim with the new hair cut and shave. That car looks fantastic, what a lovely lovely place to be inside that car. Shame about the air suspension but at least you've got it sorted. Great vid mate, keep it up. This winter has put a stop to me doing anything at all, but I've got 2 cars to re-prep and then back onto it in the couple of weeks fingers 🤞 I have some news which I'll do in my next video update
Hey Dan Happy New Year right back at ya 👍👍👍It is a proper nice place to be in that E class for sure, a real executive feel ya know. Its a shame you've stopped trading for a bit, sure you will get back into the swing of it as soon as you sell another car 👍👍👍News sounds interesting 👀👀👀keep in touch 👍👍👍

Hi Kev, HNY Mate. Merc not my cup of tea, but nice clean example of one. Looking forward to this years video's. Alex.
Nice one Alex Happy New Year to you too 👍👍👍Hopefully we can grow the channel a bit this year 👍👍👍
Everyday is a school day , very interesting video , On Air certainly look to be experts in their field. That is a fair old barge , I like it though.
Hi Kev. Happy New Year Buddy. Wow that's a Lovely Motor. I don't remember seeing this Car before. That Airspring is very cool, it will be great to get it done. I don't know how expensive it was but well worth it. Again Kev that's a Well Nice Wagon, loads of room. A great Car to start off the New Year with. I hope the Family had a Brilliant Xmas and a Great New Year. Let's try and get that Million Subscriber this year lol 🎉💥💢💓 No Problem Kev. Chat soon Mate 😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Hey Liam Happy New Year to you too 👍👊Tell you what Liam, fold the seats down in the back of that car, put a full size mattress in the back and you could sleep in it easy, load space is amazing and although them air springs are a bit of a pain (when they fail) the ride is very smooth 👌👌👌as for the 1 Million subs 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️I think I'll have to leave that to Matt Armstrong 💪💪💪💪All the best for 2024 Liam, nice one 👊👊👊
@@VisionPrestigeCars Oh yes Kev, Brilliant wagon for Space.
Happy New Year mate !!!
Thanks Kenny appreciate it, same goes to you 👊👍
She saw you coming Kev 🤑, only kidding Happy new year
Ha!!! Wouldn't be the first time 🤪🤪Happy New year to you too 👍👍👍👍
There’s a button in the boot for dropping it down to help you load stuff if not the valves are gone on the top of the bags
happy new year, and tbh i suspect if it was a daily driver she might never have noticed
That's very possible Charles.....good point that 👍👍Happy New Year 👍👍👍
My son in law had one with the same problem caused by a corroded pipe in the rear suspension very expensive to fix
Ohhhh that sounds a bit harsh, guess I was lucky just having a bag fail, expensive but a fairly simple fix 👍👍👍
Hi Mate, firstly a very happy and prosperous New Year Mate!!! and secondly, where the hell have you been lately, I have been missing my fix from you 😊😊😊😊
Hey Stevie, Happy New Year bud, my apologies for the delay, really wanted to do a Christmas/New year thank you and just didn't get the chance along with everything else 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Isn't acceptable is it 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️plus im a bit slow.......at everything in life accept one thing 😩😩😏😏😏😏😏
No Worries Kev, Total respect 👌👌@@VisionPrestigeCars
The thing is that you make your profits when you buy 😮
Completely right Ian 👍👍👍
I thought for a second you bought a lowrider Merc 🤣
Ha!!!! I did.......I just didn't know it until a week after I bought it 🤪🤪🤪👍👍👍👍
HNY mate welcome back great video good info out of interest is this the type of pricey fix where it’s eaten your profit and you just have to swallow it or is there still a bit of room in there. Assuming the fix wasn’t cheap
Hey Steve, Happy New Year mate........well put it this way, yes it wasn't cheap, and yes its eaten into the profit on this car massively...but....im glad it did it in my ownership rather than a month after I sold it as that would look really bad on us ya know 🤪🤪🤪👍👍
@@VisionPrestigeCars fair point. In the world of warranties it will makes it way back at least this way you got it done in your time rather than rushing and paying over the odds
Happy New Year fella, shame it's not a V8, they are a proper sleeper.
Happy New Year to you bud, appreciate it 👍👍A V8 one of these would be a very very cool car 💪💪
Hi new here enjoyed your video will go and watch others , I know what you mean doing some jobs your self . I just changed a fuel filter on my 61 reg lexus is 200d behind the rear diff , don't try and do it what a nightmare I need a auxiliary belt and pully next lexus quoted £675 so will defo do my self
Hey Karl thanks for subbing and the support 👍👊Im glad ive never had to change the fuel filter on a IS diesel Lexus, ill make sure I swerve that job from here on 👍👍👍Let me know if you watch any other vids 👍👍👍appreciate it. Kev
Spray the airbags with soapy water, bubbles will show from tiny leaks that you can't otherwise see.
Unfortunately you cant do that on these bellows as they are covered be a corrugated plastic shield 😏😏😏😏
@@VisionPrestigeCars Didn't know that, my Mercedes is a R320, the airbags are easy to get at on this model.
Horses for courses....you'll have a warranty and peace of mind which is worth the money.
I’ve got one and not sure what part was called it’s under rear bumper on near side and it was the wires had worn through. Mechanic repaired in 20 minutes
Common problem on E class estate.
Sure is Geoffrey, Happy New Year 👍👍👍
My Cls shooting brake 2015 has same problem but both sides go down usually takes about 2 days.
I've had air lines and fittings replaced with no joy,I'm in process getting 2 Arnott bags installed.
Priced 2 genuine bags over £1000,Arnott £540 including vat.
How much did it cost u to have 1 replaced?
I put these on springs last few I sold or it's not big job to put bag on the valves sit on top off the bag
Ive heard alot of people converting these to springs.....does ride real nice on the bags though 👍👍👍
Hi, I’ve got a 2010 E Class with the exact same problem on passenger side. Can you give me a rough idea of the repair cost? Thanks
Air bags can go at anytime and mercs are know for it
Some reason bmw put rear bags on estates
Hi Dale, They do drive nice with bags no question, I just hate how dead they look when they fail and how tricky they are to move especially if they fail big time ya know 🤪
Horrible just horrible.Cant help thinking something usefull for a funeral
You not a fan then??? 🤪🤪🤪🤪
😂
