Is It Possible For A Mustang Power Steering To Ever Not Leak? | Workshop Diaries | Edd China Ep 32

This 1966 Mustang seems determined to cover our workshop floor with power steering fluid! Having already sorted the leaky power steering ram, I now turn my attention to the control valve which has even more leaks.

The upside of having to fix so many issues with this part is that it will surely cure the Ford of its workshop floor ruining habit for good? Will this be the last part of the power assisted steering that needs attention though? Let's hope so...

This is everything I wanted wheeler dealers to be. Working honestly, in detail with explanations. None of this nonsense where the car makes a profit even though you can see there’s a tonne of undocumented work. Really liking this channel, Edd. It’s great to see you on screen again. The blend of mechanical knowledge and production quality is brilliant.

Here’s a top tip and a cheeky nudge at new Wheeler Dealers: when you’re putting wheels on a Renault 5, make sure they’re on straight before you rattle gun the nuts on and spin a wobbly wheel!

Really enjoying having Paul play a more active part in the show. He's an encyclopaedia of car knowledge!

[stephencarter]

So happy the band is back together. So to speak. Keep it up Gents.

Paul should have his own youtube channel where he just sits, reads practical classics and eats biscuits.

[Timp]

The talking with Paul is absolutely brilliant.. i hope it's going to be a permanent addition to the show.

[andyrbush]

I found a top tip purely by chance. I married a beautiful Thai girl, and as a bonus she has very small hands. She can easily reach into those really difficult tight areas around the car that I struggle with.

Hi Ed, It is so good to have you back on our Tv again its been to long and even better you have your own show.
I was watching the latest show on my iMac and noticed the picture was soft I had naturally thought my computer would show it in the highest resolution when I checked the Youtube settings it was in default 720P!
I have moved it to 4K and the quality is amazing. Worth mentioning as other people may have the same problem.
Can we please have some sporty Fords especially Cosworths and Cortina's
It would also be fantastic to convert a old Ford to electric as that is what many of us will be doing.
Top man . Thanks. Martin.

It’s so refreshing to watch MECHANIC/ENGINEER at work rather than the typical unit replacement so prevalent in most shows like this. THANK YOU!

[yoannguerendel]

Hello Ed,
I'm French and I am passionate about this video... You are the best. Thank you.
Merci yoann

[grayfool]

Thank goodness Paul is back. You would have totally stuck without him on this job!

[farkroy]

i think we can all agree that Paul is the unsung hero of the episode. Jolly good show Paul

[realnutteruk]

I've never seen a linear power steering valve before.... I love the way its function was slowly exposed as you dissembled it... actually easier to understand than the rotational ones that came later....

[varan]

Hello Ed, with your orange disposable gloves you have become a role model in our workshops. Many car workshops in Germany use your orange disposable gloves :-)

[leeallmak]

So happy to see you and Paul back together again Edd. What green gloves no orange. This is much more technically interesting than wheeler dealers was.

[brianpylant]

Holy crap, I could watch videos like this all day long... This video is everything Edd brought to the table on Wheeler Dealers (and his scenes were far more interesting, to me anyway, than Mike's were), but far far far far far better than even that.

He is such a master at explaining what's wrong, diagnosing the cause, explaining the process and showing off enough of the detail to be engaging for wrenchers and non-wrenchers alike.

Everything that Edd avoids here is what turns me off about all the nonsense car shows on TV. I don't need any freakin' drama, I don't want any confrontation. I don't want cheesy cut scenes, I just want to watch people work on cars, at this pace and level of detail, and with top-quality explanations and tutorial.

Edd, as usual, delivers.

I cannot wait for more!!!

[Mtlmshr]

Ok Edd….I just wanted to get something off my chest that has bugged me for a long time. Back when you were “terminated” from Wheeler Dealers, it was my understanding that you wanted to show more of the details of what it took to get the cars done and that the production company/Producers did not want to go in that direction and you stood firm and hence were let go. From the outside it appeared that you were more of the star than that other guy and he took great offense by this and you were let go. What I find fascinating is that after you left he tried to come across as some kind of mechanical wizard and it was so obvious that was not the case! That leads me to what I wanted to say all along, that is that I completely loved how you went through the ENTIRE process of the rebuilding of the steering system on this car. Had those people listened to you way back when that show would have gone on for many more years! Sorry for the long diatribe however it’s good to see you and Paul working together to put on a great product!

[jeff]

This episode right here, I believe is the reason he left wheeler dealers. The inner gubbins of a power steering system are quite interesting to see it being rebuilt. It's a fiddly job but still something an owner can do at home. I never knew it was even possible. Thanks Edd.

Spoiler! The message @18:14 reads:

"Far be it for us to pass judgement but while it is clearly important to keep abreast of the cut and thrust of cutting rust out of old classics, it is surely more than a little ironic that Paul is practically doing nothing while perusing one of Edd's old classic issues of PRACTICAL Classics magazine! Speaking of which; old Edd has written some classic words on Workshop Diaries for the December edition of Practical Classics and Paul is bound to love catching up on everything that has been going on in the workshop while he has been busy reading an old magazine!"

[franciscook]

Paul works so much harder than you - all that magazine reading. No doubt he is paid ten times more than you😊
Very minor top tip:- when removing lengths of tubing, wiring or whatever, consider attaching a strong piece of string to the remote end of the part. As you withdraw the part it will pull the string through so you can ensure the replacement follows exactly the same path - you might even be able to use the string to help pull it through.

[Sabercats]

It's great seeing Paul working alongside you EDD. Your vlogs are such a joy to watch as you're providing explanations of the repairs. Keep up the good work!
