I would’ve turn back home and take the loss instead of even trying to come close to that piece of junk. Whomever dare selling that vehicle should be arrested immediately 😮.
You’d have missed out on a lot of fun.
You know, for such an expensive vehicle at least in America, they’re nothing less than a rust bucket 😢
replace the intake injector orings they may be creating a biv vccum leak
Felicitaciones por volver ese W123 a la vida, para mi es el mejor y mas lindo de los Mercedes!!! Otra cosa es que me parecio un poco largo el video con pasajes que deberìan ser mas cortos y algunos sin importancia; pero lo importante es que està funcionando. Veremos como reparan la carrocerìa y los herrumbres. He notado que todos los Mercedes son bastante malos en lo que se refiere al metal de la carroceria pero de motor una maquina infernal. Felicitaciones nuevamente y espero a ver cuando lo pintan....
Gracias!
I just write to say how stupid you are and that's wonderful 👍
Thanks, we think!
That’s awesome determination guys, good job 👏🙌greetings from USA 🇺🇸
Good onya fellas,Beautiful!🇦🇺
Bro, just ship one from California. We're literally junking rust free w123s over here. Check out the inventory at lkq and row52.
We have two W123s already, but thanks! 😂
The test drive unlimited dealership music when applying lano, brilliant😂😂
That’s the first time anyone has ever recognised the TDU music, congrats 😂🙌🏻
Full Restoration, challenge accepted
I don't know about England, but in Europe it is not always correct. in 99% of cases everything is correct, but in 1% it is not. many sondermodels from 1988, they are marked “19” on the chassis, ce1 electronics etc… but have large windows, updated badges and other 1gz stuff. My 06/88 memphis is one of these.
Yeah not the case in Ireland! 🙌🏻
Just grabbed a W210 300TD estate in France with 133,000 miles. It isn't as bad as you would think but needs a couple of front wings, new o-rings in the fuel lines, gearbox service, engine service, but for 1750 euros I am very happy! Had it been parked there it would have been a pile of cornflakes surrounding and engine and box 🤣
I admire your determination and application and wish you well for the future of this project - as a Mercedes nut I have to say this car is worth saving.
The Wall street shuffle!
I never liked this model from Mercedes, but so many of them are still everyday drive in East of Europe. And yeah, they rust even on the sun, so 99% of all I've seen have rust issue. This one particularly looks like a parts donor vehicle or parts for sale type of vehicle.
I think mercedes is the ghetto is my new favourite song 😂
Better idea. Dump the antiques roadshow bosch jetronic for a 350 chev. Sure its a bit more work but 350 chevs are everywhere. Moral of the story dont buy a car sight unseen.
Where do you plan on finding a 350 Chevy motor in this country? 🤨
350 chevs are everywhere in Ireland? Wow thats news to me!
@@427Motorsports you have heard of speed shack in the UK? if not pay to look on the internet. i hear the internets a new thing now with all the kids...
Alright smart arse, we’re in Ireland. And they aren’t here 🇮🇪
@@427Motorsports you have heard of summit racing? engines are but a credit card purchase away.
😳
Yo, I enjoyed this video. Thanks! Can you please tell me which music tracks were used for both the first GT2 lap, and then the comparison two-frame portion? Love those OST songs, and cant remember which ones they were. Great use of them in your video!
Thanks so much for your comment!! The one for the first lap is west city - french and Italian cars. The one on the comparison is actually the theme song from DRIV3R. Cheers!
@@427Motorsports Thanks for the reply. I did end up finding the West City track. I would not have gathered the DRIV3R, so cheers for that! You actually inspired me to buy the GT2 & 3 OST CDs from Japan. Sub'd, cheers!
This is great public service video....don't touch the coil spring on your car if you haven't got a clue how they work 😮😮😮
Class stuff as always lads
Loved this video. Had a real adventure feel about it, whilst also a good criac with your mates. Looking forward to seeing what happens next with the W123. Hopefully not a Coke can. 😁
There might be a 300D in Girvan...i bought a 1977 W123 in Uluru Australia...1000 bux...fuel line..battery....3000kms to melbourne...blew both rear tyres on the way...same rims as yours...bonus..same as a Ford Falcon...good job lads...
Martyn would definitely be interested in the 300D if it's for sale! Sounds like an adventure crossing the outback!
Thanks so much for saving her!! Big respect!!🤝
Cheers Vito! Means a lot coming from you!!
There is nothing like the TT mk1
All credit to you for taking on a W123 with more rust than the Titanic. I had zero expectation it would even move let alone start so the fact that you managed both was epic!
GTA2 Soundtrack : instant grin
It’s honestly always our least spotted soundtrack, glad someone spotted it!!
Got instant flashbacks to that weird tattoo bloke on the menu screen. Why has that game been so forgotten?!
People days these don’t remember… respect is everything. 😜
@@427Motorsports just got to the end, top soundtrack throughout. The usual GT menu tracks are impossible to beat, but gta3 & 4 and Planet Caravan were a lovely change to usual youtube music other channels use.
@mattteee2973 thank you so much! We honestly love picking out music for our videos, probably as much as making the video itself. Copyright makes things a pain but video game soundtracks and covers usually help us get away with our vision. Cheers, that means a lot!
Bla, ... Bla... Bla
Thanks for the comment Armin van Buuren!
I go up there 3 times a year on hols, it’s some drive, you come back the single track A836?
We did indeed, we went that way too, it took fucking ages 🥲
We did!
Parked for ten years he said more like 20 but for £150 the wheels and tyres are worth more money then that I can see that being alot more rotten underneath I would carryed on with it being left on the trailer till you got it back home even if its to far gone you have plenty of parts to keep or sell on
But where would be the adventure and craic in that? 🤪 we took the gamble because it was so stupidly cheap. People spend more than that on a shite holiday and we had a great time 😀
just found you're channel and have subbed but being a Scottish and living in Scotland there is no way you are covered in sunburn. weather beating I can understand but sunburnt I'm not having it lol
I think we got the one good day of sun haha!
Aha ,I knew it! you can drive from Scotland to Ireland ! and it's the only 280SE W123 known to man .
amazing, what a watch! 💖💖
Guy's l'm gonna be Completely honest , you got scammed it's a parts car what's left of it ...... You need to find another car preferably same make & model & make sure it's inland away from the sea Ha ha , it is sad you got ripped off , that's why you always Check b4 you buy It's called ' Buyer's Beware ' please don't be a plonker Good Luck ! from Melbourne Australia 🦘🐨🐊
£175 for a w123 is not ripped off, scrap price is higher.
@scottyg7284 and the best part is, we said £150 😂
Why did you format this like a poem? Go easy on the return key 🤣
Great video, you where bringing it back to Northern Ireland not Ireland
*were
@@happyguy6911 very true
Fantastic achievement. I watched it all. Credit to you
Greetings from Dromore Co Down. Great movie lads. Your video makes me want to do silly things, like try and daily a classic mercedes estate. In time my S211 will become a classic.
Cheers Matt! If you watch our other videos about dailying classic Merc estates, you’ll see how not silly that idea is ;) The S211 is honestly one of the best cars ever made. Fact.
@@427Motorsports Ultimate keyboard car. S211 is about the last car where the back seats fold flat.
Sounds like it's not getting enough fuel, there is a filter inside the warm up regulator(WUR) which could be clogged.
i had always problems with the kj tronic. Boys just put an diesel engine in it ,think om 606 turbo
We had genuinely contemplated it, there was a 240D sitting there, but sadly it was missing the injection pump!
this 123 has abs that is an very rare option
Lad your age from Kildare here. Recently bought my first classic, a 123 Wagon, loving your videos as it makes me feel better about the one I bought 😂 fair play lads keep up the good work
Would have been a nice watch if it wasn't for the constant foul language shame.
Then you’re on the wrong channel buddy, there’s plenty of PC ones out there you can enjoy instead. 🙌🏻
Who in their right mind would leave such good car to rot outside? Shame on them
Ah lads cracking vid. looks like you had a fun time and best of luck with it when you get around to getting it back! Good to see another one to be added to the Irish W123 stock!
A feature film length video about a rotten W123? Yes please!
Grt Video well done Lads. I hope you get Carol home. Hope Terry ok.
Entertaining stuff.. thought it was pointless on seeing the car but to be fair, you came very close. Proper adventure.
Brilliant watch!
Some adventure
Well done fellas.
