I miss Edd he is the best
He's not as egotistical as ant.
Edd is the face of WD. #BringBackEdd
When will you realise, Ed was Wheeler Dealers, we only watched because of Ed
That is one of the classiest, sharpest updates I've ever seen...real taste and beauty.
" I can't pick up any old hitchhiker, you know" -- Edd just chilling by the ride.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Perfect ..just perfect. I had a 500sl from France with Zender Body kit and was lowered. Only car I miss and I had some legends.
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!
Would be nice if a supplier list was included for body work, suspension and wheels.
Hey Ed back please. You are a double act. This man oozes class on so many levels. I have been a mechanic my whole life in a family run business (est 1969) .. Morecambe and Wise. Ant and Dec.. Del Boy and Rodders …Come on guys… Don’t be a plonker and do the right thing…😂❤
WD sure milk the heck out of Edd's footages.
I don't know how Mike could leave his so called friend out to dry like that. Edd was the reason I watched this show.
I love this type of Mercedes in this color as a daily driver. When I win the lottery i'm buying one.
@ 2:22 new injector still drips. The joys of K Jetronic.
@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.
Amazing work
You kick the guy out, then fill this channel with his videos
BeyondWrittenWords yes agreed this is incredibly poor form on WD part.
Probably the only way they can get anyone to watch.
why not? they made the videos. its theirs
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!
Your bliddering idiot China left wheeler dealers bot kickt Out
Great mechanic!
You really improved that car, by changing the headlights and bumpers. I would keep it.
MAN! i search for 107, wanna US spec - but the euro is cool as well :)
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).
I have an 89 SL and have thought about making the Euro bumper conversion. Can you recommend a source?
Hey guys... who did your dash board? EXELENT job!!!
Can you do this for me? I love this video and what you did with the SL!
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.
Cool color
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
They Fucked up, without Edd the show is dead. And your right I though the same as you did
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
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
I miss ed
Hey you wouldn't have a video on how to remove the dashboard on a 560SL 1987 Roaster? great videos!! Tks
Can’t believe all these fixes are done under 14k including the car. Now 560sl as-is is over 14k
Wait so is it it legal to have the euro bumpers in the United States?
Saw one of this on the streets of Lagos Nigeria today.
4:52 bahaha I see what mike did there
I thought for years Mike was just acting bastard. But he is one for real
Edd IS Wheeler Dealers
I have nothing against any of the shows presenters but this show was more at home in the UK and Edd was a better presenter
So how much did you sell it for? More info please.
We miss u edd china
If you look at the details you can tell it was rather hastily patched together with old used parts.
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.
Please passes complete chapters
Please what design is that of the t-shirt "check"???
When was this shot?
Where is possible to find the motor number on this car ? My car is a 560 SL 1986. Merci d’avance
Edd looks like he could be Rod Stewart's son.
Edd china
الميكانيكي رائع جدا وخبره ماشاء الله
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.
You're fired too! clean out your desk now!
lol.
Es was the Car Doctor
Why is there a USB cable at 5:03 in a 1980s Mercedes?
I know...
Jr and Bobby Ewing drove those cars on Dallas
Mike Brewer, I think you mean “44 Edd hours”. Edd is no mere mortal man.
1 Edd hour ≈ 4 man hours.
Edd can do mechanicals, bodywork, electrics, AC and even upholstery. You'll need 4 guys to do all this in real life, all at $ per hour.
I always liked the fender spates????
all i hear people complaining about Edd being fired, oh well I always preferred Mike. big respect for Edd but life moves on.
Those headlights look extremely similar to the Toyota Landcruiser 79 series headlights
Shame on you guys! Using a person you fired to promote your series...
Aye i have this car 89’ 560sl. The us spec looks way better than the euro spec
No it doesnt. The US spec looks horrible. The original design is the euro version.
I like US lights and European bumpers.
13 grand for that beautiful thing
Bobby Ewing 's car !
Everything but the headlights. That was an inferior change.
gorgeous car. but I like the us lights better.
for how much did they sell the car?
Mike convirtio este modelo al Mercedes-Benz 280 sl un automobil más antiguo del año 1975.
They didnt say how much the 44 man hours was?
Loved Edd but detested his "mate" Mike, Mr Gobby!
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!
Not watching the show without edd
I want edd to by my car so I can by it back when it's finished like RX7 guy
the grill should have been changed to match the bumper
Add some led bulbs
Are you for hire? Are you in LA
I like the use spec lights ... anyone agree ?
Only reason Mercedes put in those round lights in the states was US vehicle laws. It's original design is with European lights.
to be fair, the new injectors also dripped ??
Why does he look like he’s 13 and 42 at the same time?? 🙈🙈🙈
👍
You kidding with that radio in there, Shame.
stop trolling
$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.
@Bizcar Pro being british maybe my speak is out but then again it was supposed to be british this program I mean
I bought my new Merc Bosch injectors for £9 each.One of the few things that has gone down in price by the looks of it !!
over 100k miles on a 117 engine? Better be checking timing chain and guides on that one,,,
They did change the chain. It was in the video. Guides too while you are in there for sure.
the new wheels looked exactly the same
Edd and the Gas Bag
hope Ed is getting paid from this
I wouldn't have changed those lovely round head lights.
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.
The original look is the euro version. Its the way the car was designed.
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
WD - get Edd back or go under. Simple choice.
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
If you add in Edd's labour charge, the boys lose money on every one of their "deals".
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.
Am I strange for preferring the US-spec rounded headlights?
44 man hours at $60 an hour ?
Poor Edd...
you could have installed a brand new LS engine for not much more money.
Not good engines. That's why LS engines are sold like Chinese sandals.
The German headlights are illegal in the US, no?
No, you can retrofit them.
Euro lamps in car used in US - ok :D
I'm liking these Panzerwagons more as they age and the posers get rid of them. When they were new I never met an owner who wasn't an asshole.
You can literally buy another 560sl....smh
5:02 not easy to work on
5:04 language
Ed, get your basics in order.
Stop leaning over fenders or you crazy brits call it wings a cover it first
Bring back Ed you a-holes!
No entiendo el idioma
😔
edd china .
