Why can't all the motor industry be like you and Matt, honest and with complete integrity. I have been watching your channel since you restarted it and your professionalism and enthusiasm is clear to see. Your channel deserves to be really successful like Matt's. Best of luck and if I ever buy another MB I will definitely have it serviced and repaired at your garage as I don't live too far away. I like "while you're in there" and it makes complete sense to do those jobs.

[@brianbickle7395]

Do you watch Chops Garage?

[@sprautos]

That very kind of you to say, thanks for the support since we re launched. We appreciate it. Hopefully we can turn it into something. All the best

[@topgazza]

I like videos like this. No drama just good engineering with clear explanations.

[@mrtidy]

I wish my local garages were as thorough as you guys

[@timbo19751975]

When you decide to be a "specialist" you generally know your product, take pride and have standards in what your're doing, rather than the All makes type have-a-go garages.

Thanks to Matt for the link. You do realise you've added about 2 weeks to the 40 day booking wait for these chaps to look at my W211 E240! Seriously congrats on the new subs. Shows class, honesty and real knowledge wins through in the end.

Haha yes my dairy is always mega busy and it’s getting worse. 😂

[@geoffnoyes520]

Nice to see a vehicle being really and thoroughly cared for by experts in the field, rather than just "fixed".

[@MuscleBandit]

I found you guys through Matt's video, cheers, mb.

[@plunder1956]

I was impressed that you Cound get a camera into some of those tight spaces, when getting a hand and the tools in is often hard enough. Matt is right, servicing the transmission, new filters and fluids can really transform things. This was a quality expensive car when new, it deserves some TLC.

[@kondjanegongo796]

@@bekabeka71 the best thing is that there are so many scapped cars that getting replacement parts isnt that expensive... and for off-roading its not as scary as driving a newer one offroad.

Proper mechanic, proper job!!! Kudos guys!!!

[@Parknest]

Sometimes, genuine Mercedes/OEM parts are a no-brainer. I had to replace an intercooler hose on my 2009 W204 C200 CDI and the genuine part was just over £61 from the dealer against £80+ from my trusty motor factor.

Good doco. You must be a really dedicated mechanic the job could really be off putting. Again the right tools is a must. And i would hate to see the bill if a mercedes dealership did the work. Very good docco, most interesting watching the surgery take place. Cheers, Rickie

[@robertbroadbent3038]

What a brilliant mechanic! I had one of these ML’s - very comfy and all analogue inside, switches and buttons (remember buttons!?)

Hi there, can I just say what a pleasure it has been watching you working on this ML. Calm, step by step approach, only changing parts when beneficial to the client, overall result appears to be a significant improvement in driver pleasure. Very well done. I'm sure this video on it's own will boost your business; I know if I still had a Merc and was still in the UK I would have confidence in you working on my car. Cheers Dave Like and subscribed.

Hi from Western Australia. I love High Peak videos, especially the “I just bought a cheap….” Ones . I’m here because of HPA and am now subscribed. Great job - love watching genuinely thorough, honest mechanics.

[@sprautos]

Welcome aboard! Plenty more to come

[@Conservator.]

I’m just thrilled that you’ve cleaned the airbox. It might sound silly but it’s what everyone would do if it were his/her own car but not many workshops do. 👌 4:35 More of those nice little details that only come with experience and will make a difference later on. 5:21 “we’re gonna torque them in at 28Nm”. Is that a reduced number because you’ve put anti-cease on them?

[@sprautos]

I can’t help my self if the air box is dirty 🙈 sad i know. 28nm is the manufacturer specific torque setting.

Hey love it😊 awesome ML😊

[@dospalmascb]

Interesting video, thanks. We have had 3 ML's one Y reg 270d, that we took to Spain and back in 2016- paid 1600 for it and sold it for 1950! one Petrol ML 320 with an Lpg conversion that failed on the Peripherique and started leaking LPG which had to be shut off and the system vented at a remote spot on the autoroute ( the scariest experience of my life, the Gendarmes were aware and kept a safe distance whilst smoking their Gauloises! ). After that road trip, spending nearly £2K on petrol it was sold ! Then in 2022 our hated Evoque threw its steering rack and left us in need of something able to deal with northumberland winters and a trip to Heathrow 4 up with 12 bags! Another Ml 270 and a leaky fuel system, But over the 6 months we owned it, it went to london twice fully loaded, dozens of trips to the Potato merchant in Gateshed and even towing a 3.5 Tonne Generator 500 miiles. We buy any car gave us £1200 for it in 2023 and I would have another one tomorrow! (not a petrol though LOL) Over the years we have had 3 ML's, 1 GWagon-how naive were we to sell that in 1990!, 1 E220D Avantegarde, 2 V220's, 1 LHD spanish 190D and 1 190 E Cosworth! yes we had a cosworth Mercedes!

[@sprautos]

You’ve had a good selection there! Yes I bet you wish you still had the G and the cosworth 👌
