So this is a prelude to Mr May making a guest appearance bringing with him a car made to resemble a lemon? artichoke? what-have-you ? and a "shootout" competition occurs and wackiness ensues? Am I close? :)
@@jimtomatola There was a video of James May commenting on RUclipsr's cars. I believe he commented on Hoovies Garage and Edd's Outspan Orange. ruclips.net/video/7_15tkcbYG4/видео.html
I know it’s been said before but it bears repeating that the quality of workmanship with the engineering is matched by the quality of the camerawork and general programme-making. Thanks to you and the crew for another superb programme.
so glad this series shows everything that goes wrong and the fixes for it and dosent just pretend everything is going correctly all the time like some do
Time-Serts by a company called Wurth are brilliant and they have two outer diameters available for each thread size. One to repair a thread and one with a larger outer diameter to repair a thread and rattled out area. They are extremely strong and once fitted bolts can be removed and replaced without concern. Friend used it on racing two cylinder heads as the threads pull due to constant rebuilds. Once used you will be addicted to them. It’s a permanent professional fix. Obviously fit it properly. Not cheap but do a fantastic job. .i have used them a few times and worked brilliantly. All comes as a kit.
Regular ask Edd is cool. Most youtubers never reply to comments or questions. Tells you what their mindset is towards the people who are partly responsible for their income.
I remember when I was about 12 I saw one of those special Vixen RV's in person as someone had driven it to our church in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. The owner said It had a Porsche engine in it. This is a very cool episode, so glad to see Ed in his element. Thanks.
Edd, I recommend using a nickel based anti-seize on stainless parts when assembling. It will prevent galling and unlike ptfe grease, is not a lubricant and is less prone to vibratory loosening of the fastener. I was in charge of maintenance on a vibrating assembly line made of stainless steel, and changing from grease to the nickel anti-seize saved me a lot of time since I didn't have to tighten bolts weekly anymore!
I remember the first time I used an impact gun on m16 lorry chassis nuts and bolts without using anti galling compound. Fun times grinding off nuts and bolts!
Ed I thought you had gone. Glad to see you back. Enjoy your work and common sense approach. I now have something new to add to my evening TV play list.
It is so satisfying to see things breaking and not working for Edd. This is how things always go for ordinary blokes like us. I was always envious and suspicious while watching WD when He or Ant would rebuild an entire car and not one bolt would seize, break, cracks, etc. This is so good to watch !
I never thought of using braided brake lines before this on my car. I may need to rethink my brake rebuilt on my 70 Monte Carlo now. Thank you for showing this.
Except he forgot to mention the brake rotors need centering rings and that DOT5 is not compatible with DOT4. You have to completely flush all the old out to convert. Or just stick to DOT4.
I’m sure James May would change his attitude after having a ride in the orange, and Edd and James have a lot in common being so intensive when it comes to details.
I'm just going to go ahead and say yes it will fix the suspension. If anyone else asked me I'd be dubious but this is Edd asking and I have faith in Edd.
Edds Kenneth Williams impressions are getting better! ;) Also, I assume it’s not just me, but when we first met Neil, he looked quite nervous but now he seems to be much more at ease. Hope after all this is all done that perhaps he can do an occasional special video via this channel about his mini and the rallies he and it have participated in :)
I feel like that might be partly because, before, he was being asked to effectively "co-present" bits with Edd. In this episode, he's around, but largely in the background while Edd's doing all the actual presenting. And since Neil only has to do occasional small bits, he's under less pressure and can relax more.
Good man Edd, looks like your getting back on your feet with the series. Back to what I enjoy the most is seeing you doing interesting jobs and giving valuable tips.
Whenever ive had enough of working on the car now, and I think of all the jobs ive got left to do, I now say to myself "That is a job for another day" Its now become part of my life
@@Juntasification the zip tie (maybe $0.02) hold a lot tighter than just tape, especially on small diameter stuff! I’ve used just tape on braided fuel line before with good success. But the zip ties a nice truck to keep in the back pocket.
Love it. I am a Manual Machinist by trade, the good old British Bridgeport Mill is ideal for that Thread recovery Job. Unfortunately the Manual Machinist skills are dying in this Country, much like Engineering in general. I moved onto C.N.C and then onto C.M.M and measuring tier 1 and 2 Motorsport parts, that was fun until the Works moved too far away. From there I moved on and learnt how to recover or repair components by using a Spiralweld. These days I make Horseboxes out of Welded Plastics with an Aluminium Frame, but I love being diverse!
That is because kids these days are being taught by a lost generation of people who don't want to get their hands dirty. I had a Grammar school education and then went into Agricultural Engineering before moving into the motor trade. MOT tester for 45 years. Now retired.
Well I left the Tool and Die trade (we were a manual shop save our wire EDM) for maintenance, due solely for pay. I clearly now see the difference between manual and CNC operators (trying to stress to people the only difference is speed), and then seeing the difference between a shop that makes and services dies versus one that only services.
It's sad to see metalworking classrooms in schools being done away with; I've bought some absolute bargain machines as a result of these closures, but I'd rather see them being used by students.
Hi Edd. Great show and I really enjoyed the application of engineering. The camera work and production would give any television show a run for its money so well done and many thanks for the cable tie top tip.
You are one of my favorite presenters/hosts. You are well spoken, have a lot of charisma, have a knack for explaining things so your viewers can easily understand (without being made to feel dumb) even if the information is quite technical. When you left WD I had hoped that you would get your own network program or possibly one on a streaming service. I'm so glad that you have your own youtube channel. Cheers~
Top tip Ed. I’m a marine engineer and I’ve never heard of these. I’ll certainly be looking them up as people have a habit of always stripping the turbocharger drain plug threads (cast aluminium housing) and then after that snapping the helicoil used to repair them….. It’s an absolute nightmare.
Totally agree with Edd about the Orange, its fantastic, a true classic bit of fun that never dates

Hi Edd, I don't understand why a through bolt and its nut would have been an easier way to solve the problem of damaged threads. Your solution was great, very nice and efficient. Greetings.
I guess the arms would need to be drilled and an area machined on for the nut. Doable though I'd have thought but I wonder if access is an issue or clearance? I also wonder if the correct torque figure could be arrived at without the nut and bolt undoing over time?
In the states, those coils are commonly called helicoils. They work very well replacing striped/damaged threads in cast iron or steel or softer metals with lower torque requirements. Those tubes are called thread bushings or inserts. They come in different wall thicknesses and work better in softer metals where a higher torque is required. They spread the required torque through a steel bushing over a larger area of a softer metal. But that thread bushing does need to have a very tight fit to prevent it from being pulled or pushed out by stress forces.
Brilliant as always. Your truly are a great ‘story teller’, I am waited on your ever word. So instructive and entertaining, just brilliant. Thank you a keep up the great work.
I love watching these episodes so much! You're the best Ed! Also let's ignore the haters on the land rover saying just buy another one for parts to repair johns. I'll look forward to the master class of rust repair :)
A small tip that may have helped with this we used to replace the bolt if it was a "trilobe" for this exact reason it concentrates the stress on the tips of the lobes maybe 15 percent of the circumference and you usually strip it out, if you replace with a standard bolt then the whole circumference is used and it doesn't strip, When the part costs thousands you very quickly learn this,
Those times timeserts are a good engineering fix for a problem caused by the original designers having no regard for the poor mechanics repairing the suspension.
Fantastic, this is what wrenching in real life is like in scandinavia where we have salt on the roads in wintertime. Those issues tends to be cut out of car series on TV or maybe its not a problem in large parts of the world? Keep it up! :)
Just saying… I really like Ed’s energy. Something about the way the man conducts him self makes you want to watch him and learn from him. With all the trouble and strife that’s going on in the world why would it be so important to be able to tune in to a show like this? Because there is something fundamentally real and profound about watching a master craftsman do his work. It’s somehow mentally healing. The Japanese sword makers would get it. That’s all I’m going so say. Except this…keep doing it. You are operating on a level we have yet to understand. Now I’m going to stop drinking…
Great episode. Neil, when you have made Edd a nice cup of tea, might you have chance to show us how you set up the bespoke programming for the instrument binnacle?
Blowing some compressed air though the opposite side of the cut should do a better job cleaning out the shards that might be logged in the ptfe hose. It's better than the tapping on the vice.
Really enjoyable episode, thank you. And Neil definitely owes you a ride in the forest on a test day!! Great to see the mini progressing. I love the variety of vehicles you work on as part of the show - something for everyone hopefully :)
As for the gentleman with the vibration problem. I had a similar problem with my truck. New tires everything was fine for a while. A vibration started. I went to several mechanics each of them said they found the problem and charge me to fix it none of which worked it was probably four years and $2000 to not get the problem fixed. Finally took it back to the original tire shop to have the balance checked once again. They found it though the balance was perfect the tread was put onto the tire misaligned which caused a massive vibration. Apparently at some point when I had my oil changed they also rotated my tires. When these tires were on the back of the truck no real problem but when they rotated them to the front of the truck massive vibration.I replaced the tires problem solved.
Did the owner state that the vibration occurred only when the car was moving? I assume he tried revving it up in neutral to eliminate an engine misfire?
I watched the James May orange roast - and I'm with Edd. It doesn't have to be funny to be fun, and the orange is both fun and - due to the liberties taken with the wheelbase - interesting. Still, it's good to see two gentle giants of the motoring world (one more giant than the other) go head to head sometimes.
Hi Ed, here is one tip for stoping brake fluid to drip from brake lines when you work on them, just slightly depres brake pedal with something. That will stop entering fluid into master cylinder, and thats it.
Been working on my own cars pretty much forever, but always learn something new watching Ed. Great entertainment and Ed-ucational, sorry I'm sure that's and old one.
In the 1970s these inserts were called Heli coil inserts; (when I was 17) my dad & I shared a Honda CB175 motorbike (fantastic little thing) & he was out on it one day when one of the spark plugs popped-out, complete with the threads supposed to hold it in place. Dad (being a chartered mechanical engineer) was a bit miffed that we didn't have the tooling to fix the problem & he found a local engineering company which fixed it using said Heli coil inserts. Love watching Ed fixing stuff - takes me back to my dad & I sorting mechanical problems on various vehicles; the worst one was mum's car brakes intermittently failing (foot to the floor & nowt happening!) but not when dad or I tried to make it happen ☹ (a new brake servo diaphragm eventually cured the problem, though why the tiny split didn't cause the problem every time was something of a mystery!). Dad was an avid DIYer & doing stuff with him gave me the experience & confidence to tackle my own DIY & engineering stuff (probably surpassing his endeavours). Still learning & applying at 62. Keep up the good work Ed!😊
Hi Steven, you can still get helicoils, and Edd actually showed an helicoil whilst explaining the reason why he favoured using time serts for this type of repair.
@@albertogomes6262 Ah, must've missed Ed showing the helicoil (never saw the 'naked' helicoil fitted to the Honda; only ever saw the new threads!). Thank you Alberto.
How, in all my years wrenching, I never thought (or saw) to use a screwdriver to apply lubricant/sealant on a distant part? That alone was worth a like.
As your playing brakes again, another top tip... When removing brake pipes you will find the rubber nipple covers are the same size as the flared ends of the pipe. This gives you a handy blanking cap when changing calipers or wheel cylinders. Not so handy if you snap the pipe! Then you need some chainsaw fuel pipe with a screw in that you can slip over the broken pipe. All helps to keep the floor clean and fluid out of your eyes!
I love the call out to James May. As per usual;, done with class. Edd, you are the man!
James who?
Some may know him, many will not.
So this is a prelude to Mr May making a guest appearance bringing with him a car made to resemble a lemon? artichoke? what-have-you ? and a "shootout" competition occurs and wackiness ensues? Am I close? :)

For sure, I'd imagine the manual torque spec on that bolt intends using a normal bolt vs the robots torque the first time it's set
You still have less than optimal grip, as more than 15% of the threads strip. Sometimes all of them. Some sort of insert is better than a sketchy fix.

In the 1970s these inserts were called Heli coil inserts; (when I was 17) my dad & I shared a Honda CB175 motorbike (fantastic little thing) & he was out on it one day when one of the spark plugs popped-out, complete with the threads supposed to hold it in place. Dad (being a chartered mechanical engineer) was a bit miffed that we didn't have the tooling to fix the problem & he found a local engineering company which fixed it using said Heli coil inserts.
Love watching Ed fixing stuff - takes me back to my dad & I sorting mechanical problems on various vehicles; the worst one was mum's car brakes intermittently failing (foot to the floor & nowt happening!) but not when dad or I tried to make it happen ☹ (a new brake servo diaphragm eventually cured the problem, though why the tiny split didn't cause the problem every time was something of a mystery!).
Dad was an avid DIYer & doing stuff with him gave me the experience & confidence to tackle my own DIY & engineering stuff (probably surpassing his endeavours).
Still learning & applying at 62. Keep up the good work Ed!😊
Hi Steven, you can still get helicoils, and Edd actually showed an helicoil whilst explaining the reason why he favoured using time serts for this type of repair.
@@albertogomes6262 Ah, must've missed Ed showing the helicoil (never saw the 'naked' helicoil fitted to the Honda; only ever saw the new threads!). Thank you Alberto.
Very nice and great parts on the install 👌🏻😎 well done guys !!!! Can’t wait for the test drive !
How, in all my years wrenching, I never thought (or saw) to use a screwdriver to apply lubricant/sealant on a distant part? That alone was worth a like.

Really !
How else would one do that then?, Surely that's just common sense?.
As your playing brakes again, another top tip... When removing brake pipes you will find the rubber nipple covers are the same size as the flared ends of the pipe. This gives you a handy blanking cap when changing calipers or wheel cylinders. Not so handy if you snap the pipe! Then you need some chainsaw fuel pipe with a screw in that you can slip over the broken pipe. All helps to keep the floor clean and fluid out of your eyes!
