Big love to you...

[@simonbarnwell7787]

I watch all of your t.v programmes Henry , always fun , interesting and informative , i like that you use the best people available to you for each job , and your unique use of Candy Apple Red metallic is legendary .

[@robcarr1899]

I saw this episode originally and by far the best. I love the show and looking forward to the next series.

[@michealadderley9081]

Henry & sam are junk and disorderly however the whole series is complete with Milly & skid getting involved. Really good team

[@brucejackson4219]

This V8 Daimler a superb car: pure refined class.

[@waynemullally6423]

I tell you that's a lovely little shredder. The one my dad had wasn't electric. It had a five horsepower motor with a steel barrel with an opening hopper big enough to suck in a small child. If that wasn't dangerous enough the pulleys to turn it were exposed and sometimes it would throw bits out it didn't like. Somehow my siblings and parents survived. It almost took one of grandad's fingers once though. If Alan won't have the thing and you still have it, send it over, I'm just across the pond.

[@Matt-uj6jm]

Best crew on the TV 👍

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Love this series. and Shed and Buried. 😎👍

[@caprise-music6722]

Yes. I’ve only seen 2 or 3 series of Shed & Buried. I wish there was more, but then I thought to check KZbin, and this rocks!

[@mousemffm]

That is a beautiful car Henry 😍 I would throw that shredder in the skip though 😅nice to see Alan balancing carbs with old skool tube in the ear I think that's why I got tinitus now

[@anhistorian7255]

Hope there's a third series and also that Sam is back in harness for it.

[@dankorolyk5917]

Brilliant as usual!

Met Henry at the Petwood hotel in woodhall spa on Tuesday 6th June top bloke

[@mickyhamer1300]

Nice looking car,had one back in the 60s

[@markdavis2475]

Very cool car. My dad bought one at an auction in Exeter in 1997. Paid £450 for it, but it had rusty sills, bad exhausts and intermittent, total brake failure!!!!! He drove it back to London but never really drove it after. I dropped off the back axle. Not sure why! Did it by myself. I was 14 at the time! Sold/swapped the car later for a Mini! Just before the prices shot up! It was still driving around North London for many years after. Reg was JTK 389G, still on the DVLA register!

[@EddEdward-de9gc]

Henry. Junk and disorderly is quality. Keep it up.

[@kwameboxa567]

J&D with Allen & Skid was TV Gold I love Sam but, going three up on that Monkey bike in series 2, that auction that they all went to, the tractor ride to Patrick's and the general bamter between them throughout the series surpassed sublime. I laughed so much I nearly paid the license fee 🤣

[@AllenMillyard]

That was an amazing episode to film we had a proper laugh 😂

[@douglasvick9703]

Lovely vehicle.Original Gloucestershire registration...Super.....

Henry, love your shows but please for the next series of Find it, fix it drive it let us have your commentary only, Joe Brand does nothing. for the programme, sorry.

Alan ?? i think it's Sam Lovegrove.

Allen should have brought that biscuit shredder for his wife’s Christmas present. Be good in her kitchen making cakes. 😊.

[@elasticsoldier0257]

@@tonynewcombe9075 😂😂👍 definitely

[@tonycamplin8607]

I had one when they were new, it was a beautiful car. That exhaust was a nightmare to fit, very complicated and awkward with the cross balance pipe. There weren't any quick fit exhaust centers back then. The trouble with the exhaust was that it was part alloy, part steel and the two metals reacted with each other and consequently they didn't last long. I got through three.

[@Richard-xw8jt]

More of this please 😁

Hello Love your show from Detroit motor city

[@SSV-i-c-e]

Love all your programs man shed and buried my fav on sky tv and that says a lot.hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@chrisrag1346]

Blime, I've just realised i'm watching you on youtube and the tele at the same time

[@starman678]

Hi definitely a good show it's done very well and very informative keep up the good work guy's

[@PhilCadey]

Underpowered at 137 bhp. It's more than 100 bhp less than a Jaguar mk 2. It should have had the Daimler 4.5 V8. The same as fitted to the Daimler Majestic major. 220 + bhp. Another Edward Turner masterpiece.

[@peterrenn6341]

Hands up everyone who would do the same with the biscuit shredder. - Anyone without your hand up - the door is that way... ;-)

[@rab210]

I love that car

[@djrichylaurence8991]

Nice motor. Would love one.

[@dannyboywhaa3146]

Excuse me? How little for that V8 250? Don’t tell me it’s manual as well? So cheap! It’s my dream car... looks wise, after a Aston Martin DB4 this is my favourite car - in silver though! It’s a thing of beauty, sheer beauty - the lines, the stance! 💪👍

[@suchindranathaiyer494]

You got it wrong. The Daimler is for the Bank Manager and the Jaguar is the Daimler version made for the Bank Robber,

[@589steven]

Great content, I can't wait until new episodes of Junk & Disorderly start on ITV.

[@georgec2126]

Very nice. A wedding car, maybe? 👌

[@PLAYINGAROUND]

Glad that's not my Daimler you left the mug on Henry. Tut, tut 😋.

[@buriedintheshed]

I agree, I watch them all and can't get enough. Love the music in buy it fix it drive it etc. Where's the music from??

[@garypeatling7927]

Lovely motor

[@neilharrison7555]

When I first saw this episode I thought "a lovely car, bought at a good price". Still think the same.

[@simonlunt353]

Would you like to see all of this program 3 great chaps and a great car 😊

[@frankieboy302]

I had one back in the day. As was common with these engines, it cracked a main bearing cap resulting in a decapitated piston and bent pushrod. Replaced the engine with a 4.5 litre version of the motor from a Daimler Majestic….

[@clayauslewis4236]

Always felt the Daimler 250V8 needed a bit more power. But how to achieve it without destroying the originality? Was it a straightforward swap?

[@frankieboy302]

Originality wasn’t a problem back then, lol! The Majestic engine looked visually identical but 125% the size so it needed a couple of clearance tweaks to the engine bay. Also, the steering rods had to be dropped to clear the sump. If I was doing it today, I’d repair/tune the little jewel of the 2.5 motor or swap it out for a small block Ford or (God forbid) a Rover V8 which would both fit with little trouble or modification….

[@clayauslewis4236]

@@frankieboy302 It wasn't! Many a Jaguar Mk2 and a few Daimlers I suspect, had the Chev or Holden V8, even the Leyland V8 transplant. I'm talking Australia by the way. I must agree that an upgrade of the Daimler 2.5 would be the way to go. I suspect it would not be cheap!

[@frankieboy302]

@@clayauslewis4236 At least now we’ve got the internet to search specialist parts manufacturers now. I always suspected that Triumph twin motorcycle pistons might be made to fit (same engine designer- Edward Turner). I guess I’ll never know..!

[@carpenterracing]

Yep, the bonneville pistons were 8 thou undersized so fitted wonderfully if you took the time to bore out 12 thou and get a set of +20s. Although not much to be gained by using them. Hepolite Powermax pistons ramped up the compression ratio nicely but had issues with flamefronts on the road so only really viable for track use. Not sure why you say they were common to have main cap breaks. There is usually something sinister at play for a main cap to break. Although they are narrow and cast iron they usually don't suffer with general everyday use. Biggest issue with these engines is the terrible inlet manifold and the soft cam used due to the fueling issues it causes. Otherwise it could easily produce more power easily. And to be fair, most people's experiences are with the BW35 fitted to a v8 which zaps power and offers a comfortable but sloppy drive. Fit a manual and the beast starts to show its truer colours

[@malcolmcog]

You put a digestive in the evil shredder !! I can't ever watch you again you hooligans !

I watch all your programs Henry and this one of your best, however it's ruined by jo brand's commentary. Not only does she have an awful, irritating accent, she sounds so disinterested in the content that it distracts the viewer. Please, please use somebody (anybody) else on future episodes!
