Imagine, my wife - neither technical nor car enthusiast - we are both non-native English speaker - watched every episode with Edd China. Most of them what he said, we did not or we still can’t understand. The very best thing about his fantastic work was his saying "job done!" after he had done or successfully completed intermediate steps. He made a lot of things look fascinatingly simple. A very likely genius in our eyes. My wife would love to have Edd as a neighbour. Well, whether that's absolutely necessary to have Edd as neighbour for my wife?
Mercedes SL are always highly collectible cars, but a 560 SL is a class of its own! They all came complete with full options, in fact the only thing to be ordered were heated front seats! The M 117 E 56 engine however, had a lower compression ratio in the R 107 than the ones put in 560 Limousines or Coupes! So it lost a few horses! It is highly advisable to get rid of the sealed beam lights and the bumpers, and though I always advocat originality I have to admit that these LORINSER Wheels are a perfect match to the lines of this SL! And wheels do no permanent change to any vehicle, since they can be swapped in an instant! And by the way, the original wheels (so called 15 hole design) are still being manufactured and available through OTTO FUCHS KG, MEINERZHAGEN, GERMANY! CHEERS!
@Bizcar Pro Likely. New injectors are far from perfect. Always need to check them. Especially considering they have likely been on a shelf for 20 plus years in some circumstances. Can't believe this was there example of a new one.
Like they do it to counter Edd's youtube project. This will flood the search results and content from current Edd China channel will be harder to find. This is so disgusting. First you want to cut off his the screen time and he says "no" and then you release Edd only footage... What a jerks!
Great video . Two thumbs up 👍 👍. I'm doing a restoration on my 1982 SL380. It's Signal Red with tan interior. I went with new AMG wheels and going with Euro bumpers and headlights. I love the SL ; that's why I own three (so far).
Good work Can you tell me how to adjust fuel distributer and the small exhaust hole at the bottom of gasoline tank how it works. Or if it blocks what happen. If it blocked the fuel comes from gasoline cap Let me know Thank you
Don't know what's so wrong with the wheel arch spats or the US bumpers which I believe have shock absorbers. It looks good both with and without them. I've started watching this episode from the beginning and Ed suggests doing a Chrysler LeBaron instead of *another* Mercedes and I totally agree with him. I love this show but it completely pi**ed me off when they went over to America and did mostly European or Japanese cars, I mean, what was the point in going there? They have some of the most gorgeous cars ever made over there, well they did, in America's golden age of Detroit metal.
ONE OF MY MOST LIKED SHOWS WAS ANGRY WHEN ED LEFT BUT THAT GUY ANT IS GREAT AT HIS JOB AND LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE WD IN FUTURE .ALSO ANYTHING WITH ED CHINA IN,ALWAYS THOUGHT MIKE AND ED WOULD DO A GOOD TOP GEAR
What the hell is this??? You ruin the show by going for profits over quality enough to drive Edd out, and then you push older videos with him in them for what? SMH
Por supuesto, los repuestos nuevos no se consiguen, es un modelo del año de 1975 Mercedes-Benz 280 sl se los adapto al Mercedes-Benz 560 sl del año 1984.
Hey wheeler dealer producers. I can't see why you could not produce a series back in the UK with edd & mike again with the old style format and then onto the USA with mike & ant with the new format switching back & forth,then everybody will be happy. How hard can it be producers.
Hi Edd! My car is 230 TE 1989 yr mdl station wagon.(W124). I need a favor if you can send me a website or email ad of a shop or store where i can buy parts for transmission kit( matic) original parts. Thank you!
$500 for 8 injectors is absolutely extortion!! You can buy those exact injectors on eBay for £22 each,thats £176. Then the seals are about 80 ,so 256 all in. So that's about 338 dollars.
From Dallas to Stuttgart. Nothing Beverly Hills about it. But if one is honest the Dallas look was the original look. Not the nicest, granted , but originality does matter because that is how this car was intended to look, like it or not. But of course it does look better, but it IS a face lift.
Here's what I don't understand in all of your videos ...... U say 44 man hrs? That's about based on a low $70 hr is another $3500 that you don't add in
Bring Edd Back and change the format back to the garage-heavy episodes (and spend the extra coin, cheapskates). Mike and Ant are fine - but Edd was the main reason I watched the show and his leaving is the reason I no longer do. But...it's your show.
No idea why everyone here says US spec headlights on the SL are better. I'm sorry but they look like a grandmother with glasses with those small circle headlights lmao. The Euro headlights was part of the original design of this car. If you're from US I guess you're gonna disagree with what I said but its is what it is: Euro SL lights > US SL lights
I hate the sound of Shite Brewers voice since he threw The Edd-Master under an American Greyhound Bus!! What a cheeky git now using Edds image to fool us viewers. Shame on all of ‘em. No respect!!
