Starting Abandoned Mercedes-Benz L310D After 15 Years + Test Drive

It has been not started for 15 years. On this spot it has been standing for 4 years. It was towed there.

[@twocvbloke]

Only half a million KMs on the clock? That's still new... :P

[@palint4]

For the second time...😉 the clock is overturned 😁

I love these old Mercedes vans. Amazing how the old diesel fired up so easily after all that time. That is real reliability. I bet few modern vehicles would do that after sitting for 15 years.

[@Fofoloncescu]

I am very sure that I will never see a video with the title “Starting abandoned Tesla after 15 years”.

[@televisionandcheese]

Especially since they don't have a engine to start haha but yes, after sitting for 15 years the lithium battery will not hold any charge, let alone the stupid computer systems refusing to power the motor unless everything is perfect and it receives the latest update from Tesla, and once it has verified with a remote Tesla service.... which the servers hosting that service went down 10 years ago

He may get them running but most of them are so rusted that they can never be used in traffick again.

[@nikschar3357]

Ich schaue mir die Videos von Flexiny immer wieder gerne an. Unglaublich wie er die Autos nach einer so langen Standzeit im Freien wieder zum Laufen bringt. Leider sind einige Autos so verrostet, dass sich eine Reparatur nicht mehr lohnt und nur noch als Ersatzteilträger gebraucht werden könnte. Aber es werden einige Autos sind noch gut im Schuss und können sicher wieder auf die Straße gebracht werden.😊

[@briandoyle6188]

It's absolute madness when you see a vehicle like this composting in a field or scrubland so this bloke breathing new life into it is brilliant getting it properly on the road should give it another 15 years... GRT upload... watched one yesterday I think it was a Russian oil or water Bowser he got everything working and drove it around a field it sounded and looked GRT I just imagine it all fixed up clutch)gearbox and electrics fully working...👍

[@jamesherrick4927]

I learnt my trade on these and the early sprinters which basically had the same engine. The only real issue these ever had that I can remember was the gear linkage on side off the gearbox, sometimes they get stuck In two gears did not need no fancy computer just one size fits all spanner (🔨) 😁

Hi Flexiny, how many kilometers had the vehicle with the most that you restarted? in any case always a treat to watch these videos

[@Busovod61_t333]

Hello. I would like to ask you. where do you find these cars? And why are they abandoned? Or in Europe it is easier to leave it on the street than to sell it to someone. Thank you for the video!

[@Flexiny]

Hi. I've found some cars from car selling sites or some are from people. Most of cars are abandoned because they wont pass technical inspection or they have expensive issue to fix, sometimes its cheaper to buy new car. Here is not that hard to sell these cars but nobody wants to pay price that you ask. Most people want to buy cars here for metal price only.
