Hey alex, MG F Enthusiast here, i have owned several of these and the way to disarm the immobiliser is on the key fob, being rover/MG you have to make sure all the doors are closed including the frunk and the boot, lock the car with the key fob, unlock the car and put the key in the ignition, the little ALARM light in the centre of the Dash should go out indicating the immobiliser has been deactivated so it should turn over. Love the videos, cant wait to see your take on the little MG (the suspension is also a bit funky they use spheres filled with gas, make sure the spheres are not perished as this can cost a fair bit to replace but to get them pumped up you will need a specialist for. if there is no gas in the spheres you wont get the correct ride height making the car very low and scrape on everything)

The S600 is definitely a big risk, but the color is absolutely georgeous. Very rare. The electric issues can be a really painful but also let`s not forget, that there is also another elefant in the room: the ABC-suspension and this could be really expensive. If the rust is not a big deal and the engine in good condition, it`s worth a try to get it back on the road. But the interior is also a challenge. I´m hyped for the next episodes. Good luck and greetings from Germany 😉

Agreed and part of me wishes it was a w140 s600 but the 220 does have more features and parts are actually available for them. The abc is scary but you can rebuild a lot of the components at home and save a ton. The biggest expenses would be the ignition coil packs and abc pump if needed. Otherwise a lot of potential in that 600

Oil in the wiring harness is not a massive issue. That’s happened to many other manufacturers over the years (BMW, Perkins, etc). Oil is an insulator don’t forget. Replacing the faulty sensor and just washing the harness connectors with isopropyl alcohol is all you need. Oil in the module is also not bad unless there are temp sensors or air pressure sensors inside - that’s where things go wrong. I’d love that Merc to be honest!!

If you have something like the van, where the battery is really really low don't connect jumpers to it. It has a big voltage drop / draws power from your jumpers that can't be used to start the engine. This is probably why you needed so many jumpers. You're often better off disconnecting the battery and trying it with just the jumpers or another car/battery, because then you've got the whole power for the engine and not a majority for charging the death battery.

Man, I really like those daimlers! Also, you might not need to replace the wiring loom! On the w211 you replace a short part of the loom, with an additional inline plug that's leak proof. This stops the leak going any further. Cleaning out the ecu's usually gets them working again, and although the residue oil seeps out through use over the next year or so, you can just clean it off when it throws a code until it's all gone. So you might have to drive a v12 for a year before you sell it.

Few tips for you trading cars. 1) scrap yards are very helpful places. 2) don’t buy Vauxhalls. Nobody buys them (plus they are crap) 3) smaller cars with smaller engines usually sell better seeing as they are cheaper for tax and insurance. Also more appealing for young drivers. 4) people carriers sell pretty well. No estates and saloons. They are usually more of a struggle. Thought I’d just share some of the info I know here but I’m sure Taylor knows what he’s doing. 🎉

Novel idea but you’d spend so much time and effort only to still need to gut all the features from the car. These yes fiber optic can-bus cables and the engine modules communicate with the suspension, body control, stability control systems, interior, steering, even the seat modules! It’s all interconnected and not worth trying to remove components like that. You can fix and rebuild the modules and usually that will sort out most of the issues on a w220. The mold inside tells me the wiper and sunroof drains are clogged and water has cooked all the modules under the hood behind the engine and the ones in the trunk and passenger footwells

MG Fs have gone up a bit the last few years. Good ones are north of 5k, rarer models (VVCs and Trophys) a bit more. Rough ones you can still get for grand. That one looks solid, probably around 2.5k with the timing belts done! They're great fun, I've had several now and in VVC flavour (dare I say it) I preferred it to my old MX5. Screaming up to 8000rpm in a tiny mid-engined car is a laugh! If you need parts I'd recommend DMGRS. They were extremely helpful!

I’m pretty sure the R1 badge was to match the MGF badge which was then a match for the number plate ... To be honest with a 2.0 turbo k series in it, that’d be a future classic( that’s worth having) 👊🏻

It's engine oil, it's a plug on the oil pressure sensor, I worked for Mercedes and had them in alllll the time for it, engines had to come out to change the oil pump too

I wanna see that S600 into its former glory. Those cars are so sleek, smooth to drive. It's so stylish for its era. Please restore this purple beauty.

I wonder if that Daimler will see a banger track or if Tom can get it to a restorer who will save it. It doesnt look in best condition but there might be hope depending on how crusty it is underneath

Much prefer this sort of content to the "...and then we took it to the Nurburgring" stuff. I get that has a place, but this just seems much more organic and really brings out the chemistry and humanity of all involved.

When i had a w220 Merc, i left the boot lid ajar in the rain. The cavity that contains the amplifier and disc changer filled with water, and the whole stereo blew. Its all connected via fibre optics, and the quote to repair was over 6 grand. I bought a Bluetooth soundbar and placed it behind the rear headrests. Cha ching 😂

Noticed the merc is a cumbrian car. There was an amazing family merc garage in carlisle called patons. Bet that was a patons car. Not many people up here can afford a car like that when new. Great sensitive but fun content.
