    based on the nice green paint on the exhaust muffler, the place that did the respray was very professional.... : )

    @ 03:25 lovely slip of the tongue when Ed calls a set of feeler gauges a 'Vernier Gauge'. Or as we called them a 'Very Near Gauge'

      @@Basih Just watch the RPM gauge, takes it up to the redline and beyond. However I doubt the engine is still cold at this point and that they did a quick cut.

      @@SlugPlays I think the RPM gauge is faulty. It bounces all over the place and doesn't seem to give an accurate reading.

      Basih check the gauge. Revving any engine like that cold after a week of no start isn’t fine.

    the area wasn’t prepped too nicely before the mirror went on. i can see a bit of paint went on the chips which is nice but still looks dirty and beat. i would’ve covered the chips a bit more thoroughly with paint and a quick polish before putting the mirror back on.

      They can be screwed on or they can use self-adhesive pads or strips. Gives a much cleaner finish but are a pain to remove and leave behind a sticky residue.

    Was watching the new wheeler dealers on sky last night with the rabbit gti. I had to turn it off. Not wanting to sound funny, im sure the new mechanic is really skilled and good at what he does, but can you stop treating your viewers like fools? This incessant back to basics with a lesson on how a butterfly valve opens, or how a battery is connected to a bulb...its really silly and unnecessary, we already have mechanical knowledge, or we wouldn't watch the show. Ed used to show us how to do skilled tasks, this new guy is giving us lessons on what a wheel does on a car...etc.. come on guys.. tech it up a bit its embarrassing. And the 'comedy' moments when ant was drooling over cars on the internet, and made it look like he was looking at porn, and mike says that will make you go blind...what the hell is all that about. If i wanted to watch crap like that id put gas monkey garage on.. 1 lost watcher.
