Edd China’s Basic Classic Car Health Checks: A Detailed Look Underneath a Classic Car

In this video from Edd China’s classic car health check video series, Edd takes a more detailed look underneath a classic car. Edd explains how to check the classic car wheels and listen for any grumbling of bearings, he demonstrates how to look for any play in the suspension joints and looks for any perishing in the brake lines and rubber gaiters. He recommends a visual inspection of brake pad thickness (less than 1.5mm will fail an MoT) and checking for corrosion on suspension mounts, sills and brake lines. Finally he looks at the exhaust system and propshaft and checks for excessive fluid.
