Edd, We're all here to support you. We know you don't owe us any explanations. Yes, a simple "having some trouble, thank you for your patience and understanding" would be enough. I think most of us would be happy to just watch you answer viewer questions for 10-15 minutes every week, or see you take apart an old engine. Sending you best wishes and a speedy recovery from whatever life has thrown at you.

I'm 72 staring 73 down hard. I can well remember such things and was shocked when I came home from the Far East to discover almost everything was 'toss it out'. Of course walking into a Record shop (sign says Records and Tapes) to find nothing but CD's. Excuse me while I boot up my reel to reel...

I had the V8 4.4 L322 for a number of years and changing the battery used to trigger a bunch of fault codes that required resetting the power windows and, from memory, the steering range too. When I replaced the battery the second time I kept the car electronics alive with a supply mode charger to avoid this.

I love these kinds of videos. It doesn't have to be super high production value like past videos. This was great and I was so excited to watch. Cheers for the video Edd!

I'd forgotten just how much I enjoy your workshop videos!

Just watched the episode of Wheeler Dealer where you restored a veteran car and participated in the London - Brighton race, i love that episode. Greetings from Sweden🙂

@@harleylehmann1050 Not Edd, just saying so you get an answer. He made it private, effectively killing it. It was a bad decision on his (team's) part, it's been resolved, and that quickly enough. Apologies for this really is not required. And what good would it do anyway? Either people can understand it and move along, or they cannot. If an apology is required for your continued viewing, well, he'll do just fine I suspect without your one view. It is not like he did a truly disgusting/hideous/horrendous thing, he just made an (ill advised as it turned out) ad video. Nobody is required to watch it, nobody is bound to use the product(s) (to which I've already forgotten what it was about, so there's that), and in the grand scheme of things that require an apology? This isn't one on my list. He is trying to survive in this world, and this is the very least of the transgressions one could do in trying to make some money. I've let him off (with a warning, I did say as much in my own comment there, that if it's just an ad and no workshop content video again, that's gonna have to be it I'm afraid), and frankly, I hope it's the last we even have any commentary/discussion about it. I know I won't be commenting past this about it. You have a good day.

Glad to see you back Edd. . Regarding the RR. I'd check the engine block to chassis earth straps. Easily overlooked and will cause all sorts of electrical gremlins as the current finds other pathways to complete the circuit. .. Few years back had a golf VR6. Occasionally it wouldn't start just click click like a flat battery.. Battery checked out ok. On closer inspection the main thick power cable to the starter terminal was corroded. Removed, cleaned up the surface corrosion and the terminal, Also did the same to the terminal on the alternator as well. greases up with some vaseline. Never had an issue after that. Started on the button. ... Its quie possible the earth straps might be corroded.... .. That starter didn't look to bad... Anyways Glad you have some videos in the bag. .. Are we going to get some disco lights and 90s techno music and dancing for the 1M subscriber celebration!! 😆

Hello Edd. I was experiencing the exact same problem with my 2011 TDV8. Before I pressed the button on a new starter I discovered that the windscreen scuttle wasn’t water tight and the battery terminals had corroded. After I gave them a really good clean I’m 99% back in business so I think a clean up of the starter connector will completely cure it 👌🏼
