      Presumably a continuity error caused by shooting different segments on different days.
      I have been assuming that Edd is answering these messages in real time and then either he or or his editor is editing them into video that has been shot in the past.
      I am assuming he and his team are shooting out as much of a video as possible repairing a vehicle and ideally completing it and then cutting it up to make episodic TV mixed with sections waiting for the inserting of these Ask Edd questions
      So one question is:
      Is Edd actually reading all this verbiage or are they first being screened by a researcher?
      I throughly hope it's the latter and if so hello unknown researcher, thanks for doing a really thankless task, which is why I set all this comment, this way:

      @@leeneal6969 Rather pointed with your comments old chum .First I work in the city as a trader 25+ years and your trying to tell me that I'm wrong in my analysis of the motor industry and Government strategy! Here's a factoid for you the ASM recycling company at one location North of London receives on average 65cars a day every day for scrapping average age 5 to 12 years....not rusted not bashed not worn out..but electronically buggered . Now go and study the manufacture of Electronic components and speak to the boffins that make them you may not be surprised that the these are deliberately made to fail after a predetermined time. Electronic failure is the new rust . Yes if the part fails in an accessible place you can replace it....but surprise it's not but located in difficult locations that necessitates removal of dash of engine etc .Thus the labour cost outweighs the value of the car ,which is determined by the dealer network. Therefore most are scrapped at that point and the punter buys a another car. My own 2014 Mercedes 350 was traded in as the Electronics hidden under dash failed to remove the dash and ancillary items was over £ 4000 the car was valued at £ 7k so away it went to ASM maybe for parts who cares. So chum don't lecture me about the car industry and the Government so called strategy for the future its my job to know to and make" loads of money" for me and my clients .

      @@kiwiwifi Simple, I say the reason I have excellent equipment, and several trailers all for different jobs. So I make a point of never loaning anything out. If you need a trailer you have a couple of options, buy one or rent one. Plus, most people that 'borrow" trailers have little or no experience in driving with one. As for reversing one... laugh! On a recent visit to friends in Holland (they live in a superb apartment with an underground car park) the entrance to the car park was completely blocked as someone who had "borrowed a trailer from a friend" managed to jamb the entrance to the car park because the trailer was too high. Enough said.

    Thank You Edd. Rest assured your great work does not go un-absorbed. A Tip: Identify and get a spare one of those Resistors for the Trailer Lights and stash it somewhere clever on the trailer. A wise man taught me the importance of redundancy when possible. Those have a way of expiring at most inopportune of times. As an example - my Race Car. When I was building (Wiring) things, the Electric Fuel Pump and Starter Motor Relays, I mounted 2 side by side each in their perspective locations. Should one decide to fail, I merley unplug the connector and plug it into the spare already mounted.

The faster the charger the shorter the battery lifespan will be. So at the end you'll have to swap your battery pack and pollute the environment more regularly.

    I just noticed at the end of the video one of your sponsors is Ansell. My uncle worked for them in Coshocton OH for more than 30 years. I sent him your video testing some Ansell gloves and he recognized them and said they were most likely from a factory he built in Sri Lanka. He was one of the manufacturing line engineers and built lines all over the world until he retired. Small world! I also appreciate more normal sized mechanics on RUclips. Since we are of a similar height I know if you fit in a car I most likely will too! Take care and love the work you are doing.

      @@paoloviti6156 Honestly better of out sourcing that to an expert unless Edd is a dab hand at transmission rebuilds. The synchro's are probably damaged and clutch packs may need some sort of fiddling or replacing, not that I have a clue what a clutch pack is.
      Gearstick and linkage assembly should also be taken out, wiped clean, checked for wear and re-greased if no welding, r-shaping or replacing is needed. Silly thing but the stick and mechanism may be more worn than the core of the transmission e.g. pinion gears etc. Not that Im an expert.

      While that part was certainly interesting, have you considered that maybe that whole segment wasn't actually a real fault and was just a fabrication to talk through trailer indicator wiring?
      I can't see how or why someone borrowing the trailer would open that carefully clip closed enclosure, remove a connector and plug it into the wrong place, then put the cover back on without mentioning anything to the trailer's owner.
      Or maybe Edd really does have some very sketchy and clueless mates that he'd trust an expensive bit of kit like that to??
