Tonights Program at 9 is the SLK

Its stated it;s the cheapest SLK in the country and Ed;s on a tight budget so
I Wonder how Ed will deal with the rust or will Mike find a rust free car,

Should be interesting.

Sorry never gave that a thought.

To be honest i would have thought that anyone that watches the program would have known what side it was on but for those that don't its on SKY Discovery.

master cylinder leaked, rather worryingly they replaced it with a second hand one for £50.

Still some rust to sort out

I wonder how long the rust repairs will last ? before the new owner has it come through again.

I must admit the underneath of the car looked terrible everything was rust riddled.

There's no way edd is charging £120 a hour like m b or wheeler dealer would be bankrupt by now ,,.

I reckon edd gets around £1 a hour .

Wish he was my next door neighbour :)

The point of Wheeler Dealers is to show how a home enthusiast can do things. I doubt any members here cost their own labour when talking about the cost of fixing things themselves :D

Whilst Wheeler Dealers is contrived to some extent, I still thought last night's show was worth a watch.

By the way, the parts from Dronsfield were £450, not £400.

It is meant to show that a home enthusiast can achieve but how many of us have access to a lift and 3 racks of snapon tools?

I still love the show no matter what :)
