Terrible background noise. Bye.

Sounds very noisy

Hey Ed, I’m looking at a 500SL in the next few weeks, due to concerns about corrosion with the model I’m wanting to get an independent inspection done, ideally someone who knows the model so can look at areas like the bulkhead. I don’t suppose you know of anyone who may provide inspections?

I had a very nice r107 a few years ago. Loved the car but must admit the complexity of the roof was a factor. In selling it. Currently have an r230, which is much easier but a potential nightmare if it fails..😂

Nice video, dealt with the “”reality “”of handling the R107 soft top. As shown always release pressure before bringing ti tools out. Thanks for explaining the fold sequence,,

Great info thanks Ed. I’m going to look at a P38 this weekend so I’m glad to have come across your test drive video… lots to take away.

These are rubbish, dont waste your time or money. Go to your local mot station, they will do it in 10 mins for a modest fee. These always fail fast. That round pulse pump fails in minutes. These are the car equivalent of miracle hair grow tonic.

Any info on front door speaker replacement and tweeter upgrade would but greatly appreciated. Well explained video!

I just dropped in to see what condition the condition of your R107 was in. I found it's a poor thing. Shame on you.

How do you protect the sealing when folding the soft top?

Love your vids Ed. I changed out my blower motor cap, the first seal and blower motor but couldn’t figure out how to change the lower seal under the blower motor. How is that done? I was lucky and found no corrosion or rust in my 1980 450 SL. Thank you!!!

Go to home depot or ?? buy a gauge that read around 60 psi , get a braze barb fitting to attach a piece of hose , with 2 clamps .disconnect the cold start valve , attach the hose to the rail , you are ready .Also looking at that video , you must organize the spark plug wires away from any fuel line . There is a fire waiting there [ common ]

A very good video, one of the best I've seen: good clear camera work and easy to understand. Thank you.

lots of nonsense

Thanks so much for your video! Very helpful to me in learning how to open and close the soft top on my ‘77 450SL. Well done!

Add more wire even on a low setting for the heat that doesn't matter if you add a little bit of wire it will burn cooler

Not sure why you thought the privacy lock retaining rod went into the clip that way?

Great attempt but wrong! The repair kit is very easy to fit, put the kit together on your handle but without the handle lobe in the new recess, then use a small flat head and pressure on the new lock actuator tab where the rod goes while using the screwdriver to tease the lobe into the recess. It took me less than two minutes, start to finish.... no swearing, use of a vice or eye protection. The spring will naturally sit in place then finish by a final tap on the locating pin.

This is proper nightmare to repair.

I didn’t realise it took so long, it was daylight when you started 😉 Fantastic video 👍👍👏👏

Great Video!

Thank you, great video. 👍

And also I have to get one more opinion regarding the oil Grade mean 20w40 or 20w 50 which one we have use please provide the valuable information Thank And much appreciated

Hi I have the same problem facing it my car but it’s really difficult to find the parts how do I fix it you have any options I am in UAE please give me some suggestions that would be appreciated Really appreciate your fix it’s been very helpful to others great job 🙏

Gteat video mate Whats it like at say 90mph and going around curves on motorway Stopping distance as i drive hard and fast?

Very useful information for re-working injectors.

Hi Ed, you didn’t do the outer chambers video?

Good video. A quick tip. When putting the soft top away, I put a thin towel across the length of the plastic windows. I feel like this reduces scratches from forming where the plastic rubs/folds against itself.

Flip the tool the other way so the bend is facing down. This will prevent your hand and tool from hitting the roof.

Do you know where I can get the two fuel lines that connect to the warmup regulator?

Great video, lovely looking car. I went to the same place to get my head lining done, and pillers, Just love the P38, I had top hat linners done on my 4.6 V8 Gems engine done as well 👍

I would love to see another video like this but, with the hose not kinked. Do you still have the device and could you do another review?

Hi Ed, cant tell you how many times ive watched this video! Im UK based too, essex specifically, but willing to travel > i wondered if you could perhaps recommend anyone who knows the cars well for welding a similar job on my R107? I have some rust that needs cutting out and replacing on the right plenum chamber on my vehicle. Thanks, James

What a Rube Goldberg mechanism this locking system is. I did get everything working using the technique in this video. After, a buddy of mine and I installed a failsafe work around should if this ever happen again. I attached a string to the center pin release and ran it back into the trunk. Now, if it ever gets stuck again, I have a manual release alternative!

Great video mate got my roof right off

Thanks. I followed this video a few months ago to fix my handle. I struggled to get the clip wrapped around (12.30min mark), so I used a screwdriver to apply force and push it in.

You’re a legend. I just got this car and couldn’t work it out why it wouldn’t release. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Amazing video. Can any of you help answer a question - I just acquired a 1972 350SL (450SL). I need new injectors. This video shows Yellow, my engine has Green\Blue ish. What is the difference. I think mine are FJ119. There is so much good info online but also a lot of terrible info..... any live knowledge and experience would be great.

Thanks ClassicEd!

Love the channel and my new p38. Glad to have found your videos! I must get a wood center console like yours!

2:30. My 450SL has a big hole right there at the top of that part and it’s a cavity there. I’ve gotta take the wing off but there is a few inches of weld at the front of the wing to the front radiator support beam.

I thought that Volvo only started adding chips to keys in 1999.

Thanks so much for your video. Saved me from a lot of bad words.

Was the issue the injector seals did you figure it out I have the exact same problem and can get it to keep ruining It does run but once I press the gas pedal it shuts off

Hi I did all of this that you just demonstrated But car won’t start it starts but turn off after a couple seconds do you have any idea why ? I would appreciate your help

Next to the wing where the hinge meets the car there is a little area where water pools on both sides of my 450SL. People say there is a drain hole there but i have seen it dry and fully lit and no drain hole appears to be there. So I have to dry it out each time it rains a lot to keep the water from sitting there.

Very helpful video for someone considering an eyes wide open purchase. Thank you.

It is true many issue with classic cars in general and probably even more with land rover but look at it how nice is to watch it from every angle!

Just after my last message you pulled to the inside lane , we’ll done .

You seem to be hogging the middle lane on the motorway, naughty boy .
