In this episode, I team up with Graham from Theoc 4x4 for an epic road trip from the UK to Budapest, Hungary. While I flew over, Graham took the adventurous route, driving his 1998 Mercedes SLK 230 across Europe. However, this road trip didn’t go as smoothly as planned! After covering 500 miles into Germany, disaster struck—Graham’s Mercedes SLK 230 broke down, leaving us stranded on the roadside. In this video, you’ll see how we navigated this tricky situation.

The notorious K40 relay failure, a common issue in older Mercedes models. Even though more issues cropped up along the way, Graham persevered and made it to Budapest, proving that a true mechanic’s spirit and some roadside ingenuity can get you through even the toughest breakdowns. What to expect in this episode: The full story of Graham’s breakdown in Germany. How YouTube helped us find the issue and Graham’s expert skills saved the day.
