Don't worry, those Mercedes V12s are like 3 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinders welded together. They can run a few hundred miles with no oil, no problem 😐

I hope you're right about that, Sam 😂

And really looking forward to the S600 content!!

[@markstevens7190]

This guy could be mega youtuber if he could post more content. Love it when he does.

[@micheljansen85]

True, but he does need to start finishing stuff 😅

[@WaldosWorld]

I appreciate it and I definitely agree!

If there is enough moola to go thru this field of vehicles without filing for bankruptcy.

[@BuckingHorse-Bull]

mega youtubers lose their character once the fame hits. happens all the time. its better he stays low key and take his time between uploads

[@chrisomeara5795]

I don't know why but this is probably my favourite KZbin channel, so please don't change the formula/topics! Yes would be nice to have more uploads but if this is the rate that works then all good 👍

[@V8Tomek]

What you need the most is the proper shed / garage where you could work on hot, cold, wet, stormy days... and the XJ looks like a nice addition to the fleet.

[@stephendoing2253]

[@samroesch]

I believe the jaguar is an XJ. Not the Jeep kind of XJ unfortunately

This channel could be far by now if content was posted regularly. Love your content from South Africa.

[@doopy4486]

People need to stop asking when a project will be finished... my man Waldo is living his best life with undiagnosed ADHD, enjoying every minute of new, impulsive projects. Completion is irrelevant. 😂

[@addamochs]

As a person diagnosed at a young age, I'd say he has it.

[@CharlesLockyer]

I came to the comments for this exact reason! If I could, I'd be living the same life!

[@poika22]

@@addamochs I really doubt anyone's ability with ADD to decipher unfamiliar wiring diagrams and regularly read through manuals for machinery.

[@chrisruffino5168]

Building a proper work area (shop) should be high on the list. With you being a jack of all trades type of person I don't envy the complications that setting up your shop will be... but I'm curious how you will deal with it.

[@tdotw77]

Not that he needs another project added on but fixing excavator, doing a quick-connect style pin system & getting (new)hammer for it sorted out. Then he'll be able to dig foundation & footers for the new concrete for the new shop. Idk, it's a lot of money to put a building up, might have to start off in the (way too small) 'barn' hes got now, maybe pour a legit floor or at very least put a tamped crusher run 'base' down to have a solid floor to work on.

[@dizzy4303]

Id have started with a shop. Concrete pad with a pole barn or I beam construction. Best way for the type of work he does would be have one corner framed in as a “clean room” workshop for electronics work and small workbench jobs- a door to access from outside and then bay doors into the main shop for heavy work and storage.

[@kakashi_copyninja7]

As many others have said, Sir please post more regularly. I think even a quick 5 to 10 minutes video every 2 weeks helps

[@juanrodrigoramirez6428]

Need to see the trailer get finished

[@JB-mf1zc]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who don't finish projects!! I enjoy the content! God Bless!!

[@thef0rsaken430]

Man i get so excited when i see you upload. Something about the way u do things and the videos makes it so enjoyable. U have so much stuff to do and so much content to get out of it. If only you had an editor who would do the editing for you while you just film. Having so many projects also means u can film different stuff while you wait for parts. Can't wait for the next upload :)

[@kiwisteve54]

The LR3: There is a factory repair bulletin for a leak in the A pillar that sounds like you have. LR time did a video on it a while back. The repair is a small sticker over a hole from memory. Love the update, keep up the good work :) Cheers, Steve in New Zealand

[@nelsyoung833]

Helpful input. I've seen that video too. Nasa Tape solves that problem by removing the outer skin of the A pillar to expose the hole. Waldo must try that.

[@kduke4169]

Agreed. Sounds like the issue given it’s happening on both sides. Poor design for sure! LR Time has your fix.

[@_chipchip]

Shame as when they are sorted they are such nice vehicles. Especially the 4.4 V8.

[@wcvp]

Man, you got my hopes up that the 12 cylinder was a 12V71 Detroit. They sound amazing

[@WaldosWorld]

Thank you so much Steve!

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

Dear Mr. Waldo. 👍👌👏 Thanks a lot for the complete update. Poor old Harvey was the reason why I started watching your channel. In my personal opinion you should really put a dump bed on this semi. A dump truck could be really helpful on your property. Additionally you can still use it to haul projects. Maybe go the easier way and buy a new dump bed (like J.C. Smith projects often did). Or maybe even buy a used one. 2) Please don't act like too many other utubers = please finish stuff. And yes, I totally agree with the commenting viewers: You should really have respectively build yourself a proper workshop. 3) I'm eagerly looking forward to watch you hammering these big rocks to pieces. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

Thanks Waldo for the update, enjoy all your videos

[@georgeenriquez612]

Thanks for the update. You have some exciting projects, I hope you can finished them all and get us some content

[@Appalachian4WD]

There is a pocket behind the battery on the LR3 that kept filling up like a lake on the one we had. It was ridiculous. That could be leaking down behind the firewall and onto the passenger side floor.

[@tyrannicidalmaniac9115]

This guy is more busy than a two peckered goat. This project, that project. God bless him. Dude must be a mad man having all that to do and keeping track of it all.

[@m.awaijane2001]

You and me have the most similar taste in cars than any other youtuber! I Absolutely love big, long wheel-base European sedans and I also love GMT800 trucks! I own a 2000 Silverado 2500 (my first car) and I was inspired by your flatbed build and now I'm currently searching for a good deal on a nice, used, Bradford built flat-bed for my truck that I can fix up and make nice. Your channel is by far in a way my favorite out there, it also feels a little less unspoiled because of the smaller audience. But no matter, I wish you great success!

[@christophercraig9295]

Waldo this was a great update! I've been following mostly your Merc, Range Rover, and LR3 fixes. I would love to see more videos on the LR3 and all you had to do to it and spend on it. I was thinking of picking up one of those myself as I like the vehicle so much. 🙂

Cant wait for more videos. Ive been rewatching old ones cuz this is by far my favorite channel.

[@Bruningable]

Oh how much I like your channel Waldo! And these MB W221's are just gorgeous! Looking forward to the next video!

[@iwouldrathernot4274]

Hey that v12 could still be good. The hole may have come from being moved around the auction yard. The reason I say this is because I couldnt see a low oil pressure warning on that cluster, though it is a very limited picture in terms of field of view. I would also think with a digital display that there would be a big neon warning for oil pressure as well as a check engine light. Having the battery disconnected maybe it has cleared the memory of the vehicle, BUT it may be worth it to hook a scanner and see if any codes are stored. I work for Daimler on the Freightliner side and if theres anything that Mercedes does best, its log fault codes lol

[@WaldosWorld]

I did hook a scanner up and there were no codes due to the battery being dead 👍

[@J40AUT]

On W221s the low oil pressure would come up in the centre screen (theres no actual light) so as far as the picture goes its getting oil pressure.

[@Corey-zg3bc]

I love your channel - it has all kinds of really useful information - I found your channel while poking around for backup diesel generators and.that video is really great for all the information you cover in it but then I found this video and I’m really glad I did!! I hope you can get your S600 back on the road, because it’s truly a fantastic car - I owned a 2002 for several years and it was as smooth as silk - but I recently found a deal for a low-miles 2012 S550 4MATIC SWB that I just couldn’t pass up, and I hope to never to sell off anyway, I’ve subscribed - keep up the excellent work!!

[@user-rg5wu5ie9r]

Just with the water leak on Wanda your LR 3 I have a LR 3 and the water leaks came from 2 main sources - under the windscreen pillar covers (need to reseal all holes properly especially bottom one) and sun roof drains blocking or breaking. You can either replace these or if that fails run them into air con drain (as one goes behind fuse box and is a real pain to access). Don't give up! Try the windscreen pillar fix - it is quick and easy.

[@drinternatg6391]

My daughter had one of these discoveries. We found it hard to keep the water out and the oil in. After spending a fortune in the dealership trying to fix the water ingress leak a neighbour (in the Land Rover club in the uk) fixed it by removing a little grill on the front right wing and repairing a drain hose from the sunroof

[@Lil-Bear82]

When it comes time to work on the S600, get ahold of Legit Street Cars on You Tube. He is a Mercedes guru. He has lots of content on the S600. They are extremely complicated engines that require specialized tools and knowledge. Thanks For the update video. You are gonna need to build a sand blaster for that gooseneck.

[@zackemal1987]

The Land Rover has a drainage tube underneath the dashboard that runs into the engine bay that can backup with debris during rain or snow fall that is why you have water on the passenger floor board it needs to be cleaned out

[@paulsteklenski4127]

Waldo, you have a perfect natural talent for this, hope you start making more content!

[@peteschiavoni]

Great video Waldo. Nice to see Aspen keeping the chipmunks from upstaging you. 😂😂 Couple things if I may. When you do the rock crushing, have the front window covered with screen. That material can shrapnel on you. Second, with your plow truck, even tho it’s a 1500 weigh the back down. We used to use railroad tracks. Because we were local we didn’t worry about the overload. It was about traction. We had an old F350 plow on a 71 Chevy blazer with the tracks boxed in the back. Third on VANessa- check fuel filter. They get restrictive quickly. Burns up the pumps and you have loss of power. Also check the air intake by the butterflies for carbon and sticking. Also on the sensors on intake. Just need some carb cleaner to remedy that. Thank you for sharing.

[@lilsammywasapunkrock]

Being a eec-v vehicle, it actually had stricter emissions then the later OBD2 versions. I personally like the eec-iv vehicles, because they are modern enough to pull codes and troubleshoot, but not new enough they have all the extra emissions and wiring of a more modern vehicle.

You have a very impressive collection of cars I must say! It's not just the number of cars but they are really awsome models and types.

[@goptools]

Hi Waldo, don't know if you checked this or not but a common leak point for any car with a sunroof are the drains that run down the A pillars. You can blow them out with compressed air but they usually get clogged again. That is my biggest gripe with sunroofs. You have quite a collection going on. Hope the V12 Mercedes turns out to be an easy fix. With twin turbos, that thing should move pretty good, and with style!

[@dickdaley9059]

Things getting a wee bit out of hand for “projects” for my fellow NH home boy! From a 12 cylinder turbo charged S600 engine that is a box of chocolates to pulverizing granite monoliths with a clapped out excavator so lawn care becomes easier is quite a range of ambitions. I will say a prayer for your sanity! Jackson, NH 🇺🇸⚓️

[@Skyper100MC]

For attaching the hammer to the excavator, you canlook into a verachtert quick attachment. It is common in the low countrys but I have never seen them on youtube before. You can make the attachments easaly with a but of 20 mm plate, blow toch and a good welder.

[@robertlandry8693]

Harvey is my favorite. Put a dump body, you already have a medium duty flatbed. If youre gonna boost a 6.9, you need to give it a little more fuel

Take it through the car wash and look for the leak. We used to do that when we replaced windshields just to make sure it wasn’t leaking before we returned it to the customer.

[@EfficientEnergyTransformations]

There is a lot easier and cost effective way of "smashing" rocks, especially for places with cold winters. Just drill wholes in the rock and pour water, as the water freezes it will crack the rock. There is another method (called Iutkin effect), again with wholes filled with water, but requires good knowledge of dealing with high voltage capacitors, and definitely is not for everyone.

You should go with a side dump for your dump truck idea. I pull double side dumps here in SD and there's a company that actually makes a side dump from a straight truck. Smithco. Side dumps are awesome because you can dump to one side or the other and not worry about having a high CG like an end dump.

[@DennisFahlstrom]

Waldo, I’ve discovered your projects recently and find them very well done. I’ve owned two MB550 S Class. A 2007 and a 2012. I bought both with about 30,000 miles on them. I loved everything about them except the depreciation and maintenance costs. I’m no where near as skilled at upkeep as you and I’ve found that Mercedes service and parts departments should be wearing a mask when they service these otherwise great cars. I drove both 550’s for 4 years and loved them but they both sold for about 25% of what I paid for them. I guess that’s why the primary owners of these are doctors and lawyers. Keep up the interesting projects.

[@pikelander7785]

New subscriber here, I really enjoy your content. I am considering the purchase of an E320 CDI, which is how I found your E Class diesel videos.

This update was great, helped me feel normal that I am not the only one with several "open" projects!
