[Music] another epic time to go and make some awesome awesome video so um I'm heading to mg performance garage for the second episode of the restoration video and uh yeah I know you guys are wondering what exactly happened last time to Gage I'm going to tell you all about that but before this is what I'm driving at the moment most of you are wondering I like BR if you have this awesome car why are you restoring a wt1 I'm going to tell you about that you a moment meanwhile and there was light so now proper introduction this idiot here is got some 5 minutes later so where are we you're saying that this handsome gentl over here gen then we have Fabian P Fabian is the guy is making the awesome shots so now where our offices by the way why are you guys not paying us a visit to come and buy the awesome units we have here so we are heading to mg performance garage and uh by the way it will be a better way to show you where the garage is so that letter VW Audi mercedesbenz BMW you exactly know how to so let me put you on on the road meanwhile we are hoping the road is clear CU When is today today 16th is it 16th today is the total shut here we [Music] go there [Music] plan first plan is we need to know what you're working with but I think to Sur we decide what you're doing today but I think technically from what I understand we're going to do three or four major things today one we're going to run a diagnosis just to identify exactly to electrical problems to what range then we see if we can solve it story r [Music] think we can fix that and then from there what I was intending to do is um check the suspension and just know which parts we don't need we need to order the good thing is then you go the p and pick whatever you want cuz mg again performance garage with parts equal to next to each other then the third thing is we're going to do some few tests on the engine and then I also want to fix uh the gearbox thing remember the shifter that was stuck so we fix that as well and then once we fix that gearbox shifter thing then it means you can also service the gearbox service your gearbox here to 11 it's it's an epic epic epic session so we have two versions of the 211 there's a vast version the one that I have right now that one runs between 2003 all the way to 2005 there about and the one that picks from 205 all the way to 209 runs a sspeed transmission the one that runs from 203 to 205 runs a 5-speed transmission now the sspeed transmission equal you will not want to have trouble with that one because the conductor plate or what the electrical mechanism that controls the gear shifts on that one um it's a module that you need to program in case you fail so have to program and make sure you met it to the ECU of the car for it to run that's why you need to run a 5speed so Miner has a 5speed so the good thing with the 5 speed is the only thing you're going to service is we going to do the fluids we will check if the contactor plate is good if it's not then we only need to do the electrical circuit or the electrical connector I'll show you story let's go and do this practically but I think that's the plan so we serve the gearbox you service the engine confirm the engine functionalities are good uh and then from there we will see so mg performance garage there's a guy called kingley the one who owns this one let me not show the number plate but he has an L sh AMG glc63 [Laughter] [Music] oh it's Legend ah nice so that's King King is a guy who actually runs and keep aage very guy any I'll put [Music] his so it's all all good so now guys this one drun water so 642 diesel very nice V6 powerful engine again the 21 can actually run this is 642 for 50k [Music] nice I'm interested to know that's what I'm trying to say2 yes rat repl compressor radiator inter inter this the compressor yeah not [Music] this this your project so far so goodbe never know D done I'm I want you to show me the body kit but this done we done most of the parts already so K can order you actually a full body of any Audi BMW mercedesbenz anything SO2 by the way that's first generation first generation 22 so you're going second generation ah nice are getting nice man oh lights nice exactly post nice are the hydraulic hydraulic the hydraulic so S Class S Class nice hydraulic so you doing that as well this is another legendary Machine 2 V I'll show you what this car has very [Music] nice car [Music] hey God have mercy upon us so now this this an s221 in s class this is when s classes were s classes I think I tend to say that there was a time mercedesbenz was making quite good Cs and easy apart from M suspension I think this was an awesome awesome machine quite awesome quite [Music] comfortable nice [Music] nice That's what she said [Music] look at that [Music] 11 you also find it has a tendency to fail actually so what happen this one cannot sh any button [Music] suck so [Music] ideally you drive the car one day you P [Music] it so this thing I think uh it's a complete unit we going to [Music] switch up on the rivers [Music] missing patience me I want to drive the car what are you saying what are you saying what is he saying how drive the car so we change this I think this one will set you back around last time around [Music] 18 but I know mg performance will get a better day so see that that's close very go very there we go is reome look at the condition sck it's gross quite quite sketchy so we have to clean that one up and see ideally guys the next plan is to get all this out the entire carpet okay enti carpet interior wash very serious I like the way it looks it's not bad good thing is they covered this useless useless seat covers but the good thing that the seat covers did this they actually protected the seats look at that CH to B it's very nice I really want to it's awesome very dirty very dirty but good correct I think these one if you clean them should be super super good few repairs here and there they look good ASA we only work on this clean these seats entirely the whole carpet Co CH yeah we should have a proper plan then from there we see we do Le it's a project you can build it wherever whenever and any daily time because leather is easy to make Le is easy to leather is too expensive but okay so Volvo Vol Le [Music] he seat Alanta which is nice with heated seats I think I'll go with a clo this I know the popular op be I don't know you guys tell me do you do leather or do we just keep it cloth I think I keep it clo I think I'll just go cloth just pure cloth to clean to and we see how it looks also do some CS the only place so if you can do this on both sides the re ones are quite clean and good so we're doing nothing on that so it's just this and then a few repairs on the then we should be good but what this car needs is a proper [Music] clean and then we do the roof should be good these are the worst seat covers south of Sara Li see that that's a perfect seat man [Music] Mr okay so there there is the common misconception that uh leather seats are considered to be premium one seeds now for you have to wash this yeah I'm I'm typically a very clean guy I I'll make sure the car stays clean but again I don't know it depends cloth is also easier to clean if you know how to but the quality of the seats are quite nice I don't feel like I need to change them they're good you just need to do a proper clean we agre so we remove the entire interior put it out if possible the dashboard just [Music] doing wheel cover just so now are you are you seeing this actually I have full size original full size tires these are the monol blocks I have two more of this I killed one [Music] ATF ATF so now let's talk about the problems we have here number one is this one so we have to deal with this then we have to deal with this mess as well so now you remember this here is the reason that is an accident technically people repay from the exterior but they'll never hide the inside that's why you need to hire proper guys for prep inspection man call us call us you're buying a new for locally this is what happen you can repair the exterior I don't know not bad can correct [Music] but you can see what we working with so this is what we want to [Music] clean so can we clean this also clean this and this is the brake module the BR modu here no [Music] not so we clean that you clean this and put it back then you scan for and see what we get correct [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's F and this is what happens to your car after it has been in Kenya for several s years got that this is where you put your jack so the jck sits [Music] here so you look this 83 86 and 85 85 and 86 so those ones are the ones that are supposed to be6 so we supposed to do this and thiser so let [Music] us as you can see writing on them this is in 30 7.5 so basically they're not interchangeable unless the car so if you find another and this one then there's a wire in between here so when when there's too much current this wire and then terminates so meaning that it broke the curent from flowing it open that circuit it opens the circuit that is connected to so this this just connected you connect the same wire from here the same wire here like voltage of C so so someone might ask why you're doing this uh when you have a d fuse box it's hard to see the numbers that are written on the fuse Bo because every fuse every relay has a number and that's what I think we'll show you that after get the the fuse di car show you that each F number has place that it's going to so there there's the lights there's the ignition well well P you'll just you can read them from the number so you you have numbers here and on the fuse diagram they have the numbers which will show you this goes to this part this goes to this part this goes to this part so as I was saying here's the bad fuse now if it's visible you can see that this wire that is in here is terminated see that it's terminated maybe let me try see this the inside so you if you look at it you can see this is The minut Edge so what happened is that there was too much current that and the rating that of the rating of the fuse so the current cost the this to hit and then terminate so what happens when the fuse terminates is that you probably get the part that the part that is connecting the power is attack and CU that now becomes a so that's that's meant to be a protective picture of car unfortunately if you don't know which f b you probably be St in the car because for example the fuel pump F that's the same thing happened to us when we went to wash so the fuse suspecting it should be that one was when it went couldn't start the car I kept on cranking we are moving on swiftly we are moving on [Music] swiftly 6 and 1/2 hours later okay but you know what you need to do so this car has two batteries the first battery sits at the back the second one which is an auxiliary but supposed to be somewhere here so our workers to figure out where that battery more cuz we need to put in a second then I don't know if you can see this down there is water you see it it's wet down there there we go ba a small batter is there wow that's the worst filter I've seen so ideally what Mercedes ben thought is this batter is responsible for that system remember the SBC system so the system is always active and on and some comp so when you shut off the battery this one [Music] keeps pass same principle here so this is responsible for that basically keep some few electronic especially the is PC is functional so if this goes out the first error you'll get is stop your break blah blah blah [Music] blah ah this one has never been ched can see ah so that we have to do some see this some oil leakages around this so this is the PCV valve this is the one that takes care of the crank [Music] ventilation build so these are part of the things that we going to be [Music] working
