She’s 47 and very cranky but what other problems lurk beneath that silver paint job? In this episode we try to get the old girl of a Mercedes OM636 engine back up and running and Nadiyana makes a start on the HUGE task of getting the windows sorted.

The OM636 has a good reputation as a solid engine, they’re used in boats, agricultural machines and trucks worldwide. It’s 42 HP with good torque, but this one is certainly in need of some TLC, this looks like it could take some time.
