Glad to hear you love yours. I am hunting out manual Demios, specifically 2001/02 cars but nothing has come yet. 1300 or 1500 as long as the car is in reasonable condition (unlike the one I had). The auto Demio is too sluggish for me and the input shaft seal issues make doing up one not particularly viable. I can imagine with the sseats down you can get quite a lot in the back.

Here from my 2010 Kia Rio JB 1.4 petrol. Basically the same car with a ton of interchangeable parts. It's a dream to work on and service. Tons of space and simple design (no direct injection, turbos or intercoolers etc). The only real fix I've had to do is change the clutch slave cylinder due to water ingress under the rubber boot which led to pitting and pressure loss. My only personal gripe I have is the 1.4 g4ee petrol engine isn't the best motorway cruiser. 70mph is around 3200 rpm, a tad noisy.

That's a pretty good review - accurate , that's important. I had a 2012 Peugeot 308 HDi (2.0L diesel). Top of the range - L/S A/wheels etc etc. Great car. I hammered it. 10 years of trouble free driving. The problems with Peugeot quality were from very late 90's into the early 2000's. Bought the car as an ex Peugeot Australia car. 7000kms on it - $12000 off new price. I took the car to specialist mechanics, both of whom told me to stay with the 2.0L diesel. The best European engine bar none. I decided to buy an SUV late last year (getting older and less agile) so I looked for a Peugeot 3008 diesel. Took me a while but I eventually found a 2022 Peugeot 3008GT HDi (2.0L) diesel - ex demo. They priced out at about $65K approx. I bought mine for $42K - 2022 was the last of the Peugeot diesels. Oh, and I got the 5 year free service and road assistance package. Only thing wrong with it was a scratch on a back wheel arch. We had never driven a Peugeot with the i-cockpit and we were stoked with it. I had read all the English and European reviews and was a bit hesitant about the small steering wheel and the cockpit type inside. It is magic. I am tall and my wife is quite short - no problems finding comfortable driving positions. I found the steering pretty responsive and my wife loves how light it is to use around town. The 2.0L diesel has plenty of power and the 8 sp. auto box is excellent (and yes I do drive it in manual - especially on windy roads). I found the ride excellent. Has Michelin types (a plus) and holds the road well for an SUV. Love the big boot (wife needs the boot size). Mine has a sunroof which I don't use. I have had no mechanical issues (and didn't expect any). I must admit I wouldn't have paid $65k NEW FOR THE CAR, BUT $42k SEEMED A GOOD DEAL TO ME. I haven't had many highway runs yet but around town I get approx 6.6-7.0L/100kms. I expect about 5-5.5L/100kms on the highway. BTW the 1.2 Puretech and the 1.6 petrol & diesel engines are a fraction underpowered. The 2.0L diesel is the way to go. I see a lot of 308's and the older 307's on the road but not many later model 3008's. I've had a few people stop me in the street to ask me about the car. I don't care about looks but everyone I meet seems to like the look of the car. 2nd BTW - Our family has had Peugeots since 1957 and we have travelled well over 10million kms in Peugeots. You can't kill them - they just keep going and most of us are very hard drivers.

Despite 15 years of abuse (this was one of the not so well made ones) and head gasket issues, it still ran although its getting a full birthday before it goes into the fleet. I need them to run long distance driven by not so careful drivers, so Peugeots are very much on my list.

So, my Micra had a bad clutch (84,000 km), bad lower control arms (88,000 km) and now at 90,000 km it looks like grease is leaking out of the rear bearings, so I guess I have now completed the trifecta of common problems with the K13. It is cheaper in Germany to simply buy a hydraulic press than to have a mechanic do any of this - even though as your video shows, it's a fairly straightforward job. I'm going to replace the drums and the brake components while I'm at it, so with SKF bearings it'll probably be good for the lifetime of the vehicle. I assume the front bearings will also need replacing soon, though.

I did have a check of transmission numbers, the number on mine is 8285082 and as far as I can tell that is a Saab only part just for the V6 in 1994 and 1995. There was a lot of changeover mechanically from 1994-95 cars to 1996 model year cars, so that might be where they share the same gearbox. There were less bespoke V6 parts (as I found out with mine) in later cars. There's a few Saab parts manufactured by GM for Saab's use, the auto box for the V6 is one of them.

This is misinformed drivel. The W210 has zero relation to the Chrysler LX Platform, unlike the W211 and W220. I don't know why many of you post these things, without verifying your assumptions to even be correct.
@turn6garage6405 ай бұрын
I am looking at other old Mercedes for my fleet so I thought I would give you the full deal, if you want to call my video misinformed drivel. I could easily have made a 30 minute video detailing all the similarities and differences but only proper geeks like me would watch it. It was only meant to be a short video not a long one which shows the link albeit distant from the W210 to the LX, which has become more diluted over the years. The LX platform is Chrysler platform as it isn't a complete Mercedes. The video is based on the bloodline of that platform and the earliest Mercedes it shares design and components with (which have been changed over the years) is the W210. LX Platform has W220 based front suspension. I said this for the LX platform in the video. W211 platform is an evolution of the W210 platform from the firewall back. W210 has the original 5 link rear end first seen on the W124. In the W211, this design evolved. The front end of the W211 is fundamentally different in terms of design to the W210. However, the rear end is fundamentally similar albeit with different bushings and fastenings. Instead of a bush on the lower thrust arm on the W210, the W211 has an open mount. There is also a greater curvature on the Camber strut arm of the W211. The Chrysler is a variation again on the W211's design with slightly different curvature of the rear arms. It's enough of a variation that they don't share the same suspension parts. However, its fundamentally a Daimler-Benz design. The Chrysler is based on that 5 link design in the rear and the W220 front end design but in terms of componentry it's different. They don't share OE numbers and there are slight differences from car to car. Design is fundamentally similar just tweaked enough for it to be different from the W220 on the front and the W124/W210/W211 on the rear. W212 also has a 5 link suspension design but it is much further away from both the W211 and the W210. As the LX platform has been revised, it has gone further from its Mercedes origins in terms of suspension, electrics and systems. LX platform cars originally used Mercedes ABS/ESP pump modules first seen on higher end W210s, from 1998 onwards. Electrical components on the Chrysler originally came from the Mercedes parts bin and evolved after the companies split. Transmission on the original LX cars is the same 5 speed 722.6 debuted on the W210 that is present in the earlier LX cars and Police Specification vehicles. This is why I said W210 over W124 platform. W124 debuted original 5 link design but doesn't have any other relation to the 300C. The Chrysler moved away from this with the addition of the newer ZF 8 speed gearbox in 2011 but this stayed in police specification vehicles until 2021 (I was wrong there) when they got the 8 speed box. There have been significant changes from the W210 to the most recent iteration of the LX platform, I say that on the video, it moved further away from its origins as the years progressed. As the Daimler link left after 2007, the Chrysler shared less and less with Mercedes-Benz vehicles and more with Fiat Group Vehicles in terms of systems and componentry. However, the video was discussing that ancestry of cars using that platform. The W124 debuted the original design of the suspension system, but doesn't share anything with the 300C. The W210 is the first generation Mercedes to share componentry and design with the Chrysler LX cars, which the LX further shares with the W211 so that is why I consider the W210 the first car to have the ancestry link to the LX platform. The blood line is why I did the video. W210 was the first Mercedes to share components and designs with the Chrysler but very few Mercedes parts remain on the final LX cars.

Bought the car as an ex Peugeot Australia car. 7000kms on it - $12000 off new price. I took the car to specialist mechanics, both of whom told me to stay with the 2.0L diesel. The best European engine bar none. I decided to buy an SUV late last year (getting older and less agile) so I looked for a Peugeot 3008 diesel. Took me a while but I eventually found a 2022 Peugeot 3008GT HDi (2.0L) diesel - ex demo. They priced out at about $65K approx. I bought mine for $42K - 2022 was the last of the Peugeot diesels. Oh, and I got the 5 year free service and road assistance package. Only thing wrong with it was a scratch on a back wheel arch. We had never driven a Peugeot with the i-cockpit and we were stoked with it. I had read all the English and European reviews and was a bit hesitant about the small steering wheel and the cockpit type inside. It is magic. I am tall and my wife is quite short - no problems finding comfortable driving positions. I found the steering pretty responsive and my wife loves how light it is to use around town. The 2.0L diesel has plenty of power and the 8 sp. auto box is excellent (and yes I do drive it in manual - especially on windy roads). I found the ride excellent. Has Michelin types (a plus) and holds the road well for an SUV. Love the big boot (wife needs the boot size). Mine has a sunroof which I don't use. I have had no mechanical issues (and didn't expect any). I must admit I wouldn't have paid $65k NEW FOR THE CAR, BUT $42k SEEMED A GOOD DEAL TO ME. I haven't had many highway runs yet but around town I get approx 6.6-7.0L/100kms. I expect about 5-5.5L/100kms on the highway. BTW the 1.2 Puretech and the 1.6 petrol & diesel engines are a fraction underpowered. The 2.0L diesel is the way to go. I see a lot of 308's and the older 307's on the road but not many later model 3008's. I've had a few people stop me in the street to ask me about the car. I don't care about looks but everyone I meet seems to like the look of the car. 2nd BTW - Our family has had Peugeots since 1957 and we have travelled well over 10million kms in Peugeots. You can't kill them - they just keep going and most of us are very hard drivers.
Good to hear you are loving yours. There will be more Peugeot content on the channel soon. I am adding one into my Carshare fleet, a 207 1.4 16v (especially rare in Australia). Despite 15 years of abuse (this was one of the not so well made ones) and head gasket issues, it still ran although its getting a full birthday before it goes into the fleet. I need them to run long distance driven by not so careful drivers, so Peugeots are very much on my list.
They replaced my filter then this happened. 😂I fixed myself after watching your video. Thank you.
Bargain! So was it $600 with the fees? Still good buying
$623 including fees. Runs, drives, stops and the a/c works, what more can I ask for the price? Was listed with an engine light, which turned out to be the service light (4000kms overdue from the odo and sticker) and they didn't know the mileage so they sold it as mileage unknown (when all they needed to do was press the button to change info screens). Has 1 key, no books so everything to scare off the average auction buyer was there.
I have a 2006 Outlander thati bought in 2016 when my Cherokee XJ broke down and the garage thought it was terminal (cost £25 to fix when they'd figured it out 😂) £3500 and I'm driving it as my daily car. I love it and it's like new. The best accidental purchase ever !

Can you tell me the name of the tool for remove the plastic of the car?
Interesting . My daughter just brought a 2009 Getz as her first car. Last year I brought a Hyundai Venue as it’s the smallest car Hyundai offers these days.
Cool, but the ride makes too much noise. Maybe use a microphone? Because, the review is interesting.
Great video on the history of Mitsubishi especially my favourites the Magna and 380. I might be biased but a little disappointed that you never mentioned the Mongrel Magna the 2002 TJ Ralliart 😂
This sound came after the repair shop changed my filter - some of the leaves must have dropped while he did so Video was a big help🎉
I just got a C208 with less than 10,000km! I love it.
I have a 2007 at 1.4 how is this
It is pretty good but the alternator is in a cun*t of a place to get at. Body work really good I have a 2006 1.1. The only problems were some rust on the rear hatch and rear wheel arches but easily fixed. Economical and pretty nippy for a 1.1 nice car to drive. The suspension is a bit spongy. Pretty OK space inside. The dome light is a total disaster take a torch into the car if you need to see anything at night. I have become quite fond of her she is called Candy.
Anyone have a manual for the 2001 metro shades 121 ??
Did u mean n46 engine ? I thought n47 was a younger engine
I just picked up a 2000 E240. Full service history, kept immaculate. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm in love
I’ve always liked the idea of the V6 NG900. The V6 is a great engine and they are so rare now. The engines were made in Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom not far from where I live. I’ve also got a NG900 - 2.0 Turbo and it’s a 94 which makes it like you say one of the rarest cars on the roads these days
I have one in convertible 1996 78k miles. Very well built car from what I can see.
Got 2004 today here in the US. 142,000 miles, $4,000 total.
For windows misting up try to clean or replace the pollen filter (located behind the glove compartment, take the glove compartment out, there are 2 filters slotted into the air intake right in line with the fan.) Rust? Not mine, after 17 years. Undersealing is of course a good idea now and again.
It seems like corrosion and Getzes tend to be more linked to climate having looked at more since I did the video. Wetter climates seem to be much harder on them than drier climates like in most cheaper cars.
Only if your Getz has air condition.The models without AC , don't have any filter.
@@dickesbalu Only a handful of Aussie Getzs don't have A/C and specified accordingly, it was an option only for the first 2003 model year XLs with the 1.3 SOHC engine. Majority did have air optioned on them, I am yet to find one that hasn't got air. A lot of European cars didn't have air as standard as some were especially basic and were particularly popular in Southern Europe (my relatives in Greece drive Getzs even after 16 years and many, many km).
@@turn6garage640 my Getz 1.1 has 200K km and is still going. Pretty reliable little motor.
So, my Micra had a bad clutch (84,000 km), bad lower control arms (88,000 km) and now at 90,000 km it looks like grease is leaking out of the rear bearings, so I guess I have now completed the trifecta of common problems with the K13. It is cheaper in Germany to simply buy a hydraulic press than to have a mechanic do any of this - even though as your video shows, it's a fairly straightforward job. I'm going to replace the drums and the brake components while I'm at it, so with SKF bearings it'll probably be good for the lifetime of the vehicle. I assume the front bearings will also need replacing soon, though.
I agree a BMW or Mercedes would be a lot better. I know they cost three times more but that's not the point. Thats sarcasm
I am not done with the ZB Commodore yet... I think its faults can be rectified with better quality components but watch this space.
I had a 99 plate 316i e46.....best car i ever had.
The mighty M43, one of BMW's best 4 cylinder engines. Glad you enjoyed yours so much.
Lucky me ; I have 2x Feb 1995 Saab 900s V6 like your - both run & drive ; the second one I got as a spares car. Let me know if you need a spare engine some time. Cheers
Thanks, will do. You are very lucky, the V6 900 is such a special car, glad you enjoy them.
Got a 2015 K13 with 90,000 km on it. It failed inspection due to the front control arms. I replaced them myself - parts were cheap and the job was fiddly but not hard - and it passed. Bearings fine so far. The only other mechanical problem so far has been a premature failure of the engine fan assembly. (Edit: And the clutch started to slip at 84,000 km. Got a garage to replace it for a relatively reasonable 600 euros. Forgot about it because I didn't do it myself!)
nice! I’ve owned 4 of these over the years, all with the 2.3 NA or 2.0 turbo. I’ve always wondered if the v6 versions use the same gearbox (saab f25) as the 4cyl. Or if it’s a GM box out of an Opel/vauxhall
I did have a check of transmission numbers, the number on mine is 8285082 and as far as I can tell that is a Saab only part just for the V6 in 1994 and 1995. There was a lot of changeover mechanically from 1994-95 cars to 1996 model year cars, so that might be where they share the same gearbox. There were less bespoke V6 parts (as I found out with mine) in later cars. There's a few Saab parts manufactured by GM for Saab's use, the auto box for the V6 is one of them.
I hope to drive a TwinAir one day.. sounds like fun
It is great fun to drive, the 500 C was supposed to be rented but its too much fun and too useful give its size and performance. the TwinAir is surprisingly quick too for its engine size. I wish FCA marketed it better as it really is an amazing engine. The old 1.2 in the Pop is a good engine but isn't especially quick particularly as a Dualogic.
Nice ride☺😊
If you want me to I have the whole service books from volume 1 to 8 about the serena If you want some volumes of it I can photocopy it and send it to you through a email
Please do, thanks for the offer. The Serena is at a mechanic and its been there for a while. It hasn't been high on the list of priorities as Nik's other car had issues and I have been doing a lot of rental cars. This one had an issue prior, we found sealant on the gasket itself. It then let go later just as it was about to be registered. Please email me at [email protected], can you photocopy an engine strip down diagram?
@@turn6garage640 hope you recived it
@@turn6garage640 did you get the manual?
@@ickylovelywilliam3961 I got the manual, thanks for sending it.
@@turn6garage640 np
I can't wait for the video update on what's happing with the 1992 serena and most petrol versions for the c23 blew a head gasket due to 2 things one is a blockage that comes right after the thermostat due to normal water and Chalk build up and 2nd the rpm and horse power limiter built into the ecu to run at a lower rpm then it's other counter parts can do
Damn! One of those was the first manual car I ever drove on my L's back in about 2011. Didn't really know much/pay much attention to cars at the time, but I remember it overheating and pissing out water a few times. I remember it being decent to drive/powerful at the time. Ours was white with the same wheels I think. Interesting find.
Thanks, would have been a great car to learn in. Mine did have a split radiator and a very weak water pump when I bought it (last t/belt water pump service was 2005). The previous owner mentioned it needed to be topped up with coolant after some trips. Expected to do a head gasket it but thankfully that wasn't the case. What happened to your 900?
@@turn6garage640old man always had a rotating fleet of interesting shitboxes so it must have just been moved on
These are so collectable
Good tips there!
Wow, I'm surprised that leaves that big can make it through!
It's very surprising, although the lower windscreen panels are very wide. That means debris can come in if it comes in the right angle. When I first got the car back from rental, I thought the motor had died. I had a check on owners forums and this fault came up and this one is parked near trees so I checked it. I am surprised the leaves didn't fully break up and go into the system.

Good review. I've had a 2002 E320 Wagon for seven years, it's been great except I've replaced the transmission twice. It only has 100,000 kilometers. I've done engine mounts, front and rear shocks/SLS, ball joints, cluster screen for the gear display, valve cover gaskets (they're still leaking a bit though), spark plugs, one window regulator, a side mirror glass. It's so smooth and comfortable and the interior is a nice place to be. Seats could be a bit more supportive.
This is misinformed drivel. The W210 has zero relation to the Chrysler LX Platform, unlike the W211 and W220. I don't know why many of you post these things, without verifying your assumptions to even be correct.
I am looking at other old Mercedes for my fleet so I thought I would give you the full deal, if you want to call my video misinformed drivel. I could easily have made a 30 minute video detailing all the similarities and differences but only proper geeks like me would watch it. It was only meant to be a short video not a long one which shows the link albeit distant from the W210 to the LX, which has become more diluted over the years. The LX platform is Chrysler platform as it isn't a complete Mercedes. The video is based on the bloodline of that platform and the earliest Mercedes it shares design and components with (which have been changed over the years) is the W210. LX Platform has W220 based front suspension. I said this for the LX platform in the video. W211 platform is an evolution of the W210 platform from the firewall back. W210 has the original 5 link rear end first seen on the W124. In the W211, this design evolved. The front end of the W211 is fundamentally different in terms of design to the W210. However, the rear end is fundamentally similar albeit with different bushings and fastenings. Instead of a bush on the lower thrust arm on the W210, the W211 has an open mount. There is also a greater curvature on the Camber strut arm of the W211. The Chrysler is a variation again on the W211's design with slightly different curvature of the rear arms. It's enough of a variation that they don't share the same suspension parts. However, its fundamentally a Daimler-Benz design. The Chrysler is based on that 5 link design in the rear and the W220 front end design but in terms of componentry it's different. They don't share OE numbers and there are slight differences from car to car. Design is fundamentally similar just tweaked enough for it to be different from the W220 on the front and the W124/W210/W211 on the rear. W212 also has a 5 link suspension design but it is much further away from both the W211 and the W210. As the LX platform has been revised, it has gone further from its Mercedes origins in terms of suspension, electrics and systems. LX platform cars originally used Mercedes ABS/ESP pump modules first seen on higher end W210s, from 1998 onwards. Electrical components on the Chrysler originally came from the Mercedes parts bin and evolved after the companies split. Transmission on the original LX cars is the same 5 speed 722.6 debuted on the W210 that is present in the earlier LX cars and Police Specification vehicles. This is why I said W210 over W124 platform. W124 debuted original 5 link design but doesn't have any other relation to the 300C. The Chrysler moved away from this with the addition of the newer ZF 8 speed gearbox in 2011 but this stayed in police specification vehicles until 2021 (I was wrong there) when they got the 8 speed box. There have been significant changes from the W210 to the most recent iteration of the LX platform, I say that on the video, it moved further away from its origins as the years progressed. As the Daimler link left after 2007, the Chrysler shared less and less with Mercedes-Benz vehicles and more with Fiat Group Vehicles in terms of systems and componentry. However, the video was discussing that ancestry of cars using that platform. The W124 debuted the original design of the suspension system, but doesn't share anything with the 300C. The W210 is the first generation Mercedes to share componentry and design with the Chrysler LX cars, which the LX further shares with the W211 so that is why I consider the W210 the first car to have the ancestry link to the LX platform. The blood line is why I did the video. W210 was the first Mercedes to share components and designs with the Chrysler but very few Mercedes parts remain on the final LX cars.
@@turn6garage640 I don't know what's wrong with Google alerts. I'm no longer getting alerted on comment responses much of the last 9 months, being that this is one of the best comments I have seen in relation to this model nameplate. If not best! I wish your comment could be pinned everywhere. So well written and serious respect for you. Thank you for taking time to even do so. I totally understand if you didn't want to be overly lengthy and point very well taken on how the W211 is an evolution of the W210. That's the loophole in this argument, everyone sidesteps in our efforts to prove the LX isn't a 90s derived relic. The W211 wasn't a huge leap from W210, so your argument is reasonable.
Hey I have an idea! When a 6 foot passenger gets in the back seat…move the front seat forward…
You'd be surprised how many don't move. Hence why I do like for like size behind each other.
Outlander have good speakers with bass.
I had a 1997 mafaza 121 metro it was a great car changed timming belt oil and filter changes and easy driving reliable cheap to run sold and bourgh a Subaru Impreza great till about 220,000 the parts dear as hell so got rid of it and now going to find a 121 metro as it will carry as much as the Impreza and im 65 so i dont need to speed arou d in it 100 kms is fine for me and i will put nice rims and good tyres try cut the road noise and some sound proofing and just mess with it look after it amd it wont be doing big mileage and as a town car or long jounaries it is a great car for 2
Really nice Megane you got there, i've driven a petrol earlier one and it was a awesome fun thing to drive. How's the rust? interior seems pretty okay and i adore the cruise control on the steering wheel instead of the lever on the older versions. Nice!
Thanks, I love my Megane. There is no rust present on this one, its lived in Victoria, Australia all of its life and hasn't been anywhere where there is snow even though it spent its first 7 years in a coastal area. Interior is in reasonable condition but the head lining is pinned up and the door cards are starting to come off. They will be done in time. I have just understood how the cruise works. I am impressed with the car. I am looking for more for my Carshare fleet.
Just passed state emission test on my '01 E320. The inspector was impressed. Daily driver for 12 years, including several trips across the USA. Yes, it's a superb highway car. Why are you giving yours up?
I am definitely not giving mine up. Mine stays as it is such a fantastic car to own.
Thanks British Doug Demuro
