Great run down, thank you! I would add lambda sensor, perished fuel breather pipe (in wheel arch under fuel flap), perished long brake pipe (behind fuel tank!), alternator regulator, viscous fan coupling, steering damper. All DIY and peace-of-mind stuff for me except brake pipe, which caused a fluid leak and was too big a job given its location. These are great, easily maintainable, cars!

julesgold01 ha, indeed. Actually I’d also mention the IFZ immobiliser system in these cars. It’s an anti-theft system and mine was giving issues because my drivers door lock is spoilt. So the car cuts off the igniton and you can’t start it.

I was thinking of getting a w210 as my first car but I keep hearing that they have huge problems with rust, also considering a w202, any advice? Must be petrol, manual and the engine due to my country’s regulations be 2.0 liters or lower or the taxes are way to big, also is it worth it to get a kompressor one? Btw great video, I was not expecting your english to be so good.

Great video as usual! My comment is a bit unrelated but I'm looking for the dimensions of that car shed when the video begins.. Looks like it fits 2 cars in width with extra room on the sides so about 20 feet wide, 17 feet long, and about 10 feet in height? This shed looks really good, hope you don't mind if I copy the design :)
