He's one the smartest guys on TV. Imagine one of the so called super chef's trying to tackle some of the rebuild jobs. And he does all systems of the car electrics body work internal.
Nothing against Ant but I missed Edd to the point I just don’t watch anymore. To me, this was the interesting part. I spent four years selling cars and I was around so many US versions of Mike Brewer that enough is enough. Was hoping Edd would end up with regular uploads on a TH-cam channel.
i think they changed the format too much, that's the problem. They have a very long thing at the end now that is Mike and Ant doing something with the car, no one cares about that. I would prefer to see more of the mechanics and body work in the car.
@@EMB1199 unfortunately, the money from selling the show is made mainly in the US, so they tailored the show to fit the attention span of the average american audience, by focusing more on the entertainment than the education to make it more saleable.
I felt that way at first, but Ant is a better fabricator. He was much more imaginative with what he did (even if it flopped sometimes). And I liked it much better in the US. More interesting cars, more interesting scenery.
Ed was the "star". Mike just bought an old car and dumped it on Ed to fix and then sold the car. Ed was the man that made it all happen. This show will NEVER be the same without him. I don't watch it anymore unless I see Ed's picture on it. I did enjoy the show, but, Ed is the one that made that show. He is a natural with the camera.
problem what I am having Honda prelude rpm up down up down I have to maintain RPM from accelerater how is look like that's why I make a video but I understand your situation cant give me your email so I'm requesting you to tell me help me how I can fix that Or if you have a time you can see the video on TH-cam just type( honda prelude tell me) green color Honda prelude I know what I'm saying is funny but I don't have any other options to show you
...now I've noticed the difference between this series (with Edd) vs Ant, there is a good portion of the technical bits missing, no wonder Edd wanted to leave, they were cutting out the best bits. I AM NOT SAYING ANT IS BAD! but It's in the hands of the Americans now so I can really see the difference.
Totally agree Edd wanted to show how to do things in detail Ant does good job but all the fans noticed that the show is now Americanised and why edd made his decision The show needs to go back to uk/European cars
If you compare this series to the new, we can see what Edd was talking about, a lot of the oily technical bits we see here during his time are missing, Not that Ant is bad, I like him, but it's the producers of the show that have made that choice which rubbed Edd the wrong way.
WD is a fine program. If you've discovered it after Edd left, you'll enjoy the new show, but it's a very different from the old one. I don't watch it now.
@@MrJetFormation problem is Car Trek is just too low budget and the trio just dont work well together. Hoover and Ed is just not correctly doing their characters. I think Freddy is doing quite well. The other two is just not there. Ed specially is just too god damn boring.
Wow this is a blast from the past!. I never missed an episode for first 13 series (even tolerated the Mike bits) shame it was never the same when Edd left.
Was great meeting you and Mike at 50th on the wet evening when you were filming with the Urracco and after came over to have a photo with us. Love the fact you went and did your own thing. 👍👍
I used to make hydraulic hoses. This hose isn't specific to a Lambo. Although Italian Hyrdaulic fittings may be quite specific and rare I've produced/made plenty of Italian hydraulic hoses for 'palfingers' an Italian Knuckle boom.
Back when Wheeler Dealers actually showed the mechanics in detail, whereas nowadays ant is like “Right let’s get this beauty painted!” and it jump cuts from a rusty car to a freshly painted one 🙄 #MakeWDGreatAgain
That was actually why Ed left. The producers thought the show would get a broader audience if they dialed back the tech work and he disagreed. It got to be a strong argument and then it all ended.
I'm not a regular viewer of this show but this episode caught my eye. The show's mechanic, Edd China, needs to disassemble an exotic and totally unfamiliar Lamborghini Urraco drivetrain and bring it back to life. His intuition about the problem areas of the engine/clutch/transmission is uncanny. He is able to put everything right for what I'd estimate would be a tiny fraction the cost of having this car serviced at a factory-authorized center. I'm not a mechanic but am enough of a motorhead to appreciate the beauty of this little Lambo V8, and the respect Edd gives to its exotic appeal. A very entertaining episode.
"A Bull In the China Shop" Ed, you have always been and will always be awesome. I love the lingo, the knowledge and you in general with the way you do things. ALWAYS a fan. Thank You.
As an American, I would like to request that you bring back Edd. Whatever focus group you used that told you to replace him and remove all technical explanations to better appeal to an American audience was dead wrong.
First of all, awesome video! I hope you did all the WYAIT stuff..... 1. What did they do, run straight water as coolant? There was no ethylene glycol dripping when you removed the coolant hose. 2. I can understand the Boris Johnson hair, but dude....Those sideburns have GOT to go~!
Agree. The cam seals, crank seals and rear main seal should have been done, very suprising oversight by Edd. But, this is still one of the best all time episodes IMO!
Pleasure to watch, every moment a joy. Not sure about when Del Boy turns up to jump and shout, but the rest was brilliant. Weird final moment with Ants photo, dont understand that.
I understand that there are many people hurt since Edd but I would like to comment on the mechanical jewel that was the Urraco. Great job, excellent result on this Lambo 🚀
Very well considered decisions on which parts to replace and to carry out a full engine service before attempting to start the car! These new parts, the full engine service and the calibre of the workmanship will certainly have increased the value of this rare, exotic car. I shall try to find a full episode on this really lovely car.
For Sunday Sherlocks: I wrote that "results stolen" because on the Italian police database by entering the license plate it appears that number corresponds to a stolen vehicle, this doesn't mean that the car was actually stolen, it could be trivially an error.
Nice video. I got a lot off problems from bad design on leak waterpump go through the distributor and also a broken gear claw, broken speed gauge cable, engine oil leak .but that was 40 years ago
Goes to show how Wheeler Dealer jacked up in letter Ed go, placing a Wheeler Dealer episode from years ago with a posting date of two weeks ago. They are hard up for viewership, and the episodes with Ed in them are the most watched!
Back when WD showed actual mechanical work. Not like now where it’s magically out on the bench then just lifted back in seconds later. I hope the new UK series goes back to this.
Can we skip the wheeler dealer aspect and just focus on you wrenching and giving us useful information?! That's honestly the content I crave, I don't need to know what happens after you fix each vehicle.
beautiful beautiful beautiful, nice to see you put some well deserved love back to it, just like you said, thanks for sharing! OMG 2500 for clutch parts wtf
Here is an equation that the guys who make the show a super sonic success . 14 years success -- Edd²+Mike=Wheeler Dealers, Edd²+Mike+Wheeler Dealers = Super Sonic Success, Edd²+Mike+SSS= More viewers , More Money. Or Ant , Edd and offcourse Mike as an extra can change the game . But trust me guys if WDs needs its foot print back then all the above formulas apply...now Mike shrug off whatever it is and admit the darn fact Edd is and was Wheeler Dealers face . Nothing personal here, but if the guys shaved of some ego and followed the formula ...we'd all be a big global happy wheeler dealers family.
this is doubly good. only Edd AND in 1080p. cripes, the WD 'complete collection' i bought from amazon UK have a shite frame rate and are dvd's, so only 480p.
He did. Off camera. Ed revealed they did a lot of jobs off camera. You think he really wouldn’t replace those seals or any seals after he’s stripped parts down!
Have this Engine an Turbo in the middle the Zylinderheads ?? First moment i thinked "OMG, WD with Edd China again"? No its an old Part but great. Since Edd is gone i never see a newer Part in TV.
A REAL mechanic that does NOT start up an old engine "to see if it runs" ruining the engine. Respect !! :)
Ed China was the 1 that made WD. This show will never be the same.
The current version is unwatchable.
@@FernGullyandtheLastKlumous Totally agree. Hey producers - dump that pudding Mike - get Edd back and you'll have a winning show.
Exactly no one tuned in for the other prick
just like top gear
+1, same with OG Top gear Clarkson/May/Hammond.
Edd Was the best mechanik on WD
Absolutely 👏👏👏👏
He's one the smartest guys on TV. Imagine one of the so called super chef's trying to tackle some of the rebuild jobs. And he does all systems of the car electrics body work internal.
Edd is not only a mechanic ,is a engineer
Totally agree!
Yeah, but he was getting lazy too!!!
Back when Wheeler Dealers was good
no good in US
Nothing against Ant but I missed Edd to the point I just don’t watch anymore. To me, this was the interesting part. I spent four years selling cars and I was around so many US versions of Mike Brewer that enough is enough. Was hoping Edd would end up with regular uploads on a TH-cam channel.

He has :)
Honestly, for Me WD is rubbish after Edd left. But it is all up to personal taste and I respect those who think and feel differently.

One of the best episodes of WD ever. Certainly my fav. Ed is missed for sure

Absolutely the most entertaining mechanic I've seen on any show, bar none. Glad to find a way to watch the old episodes.
I could binge-watch Ed crackin on for days if I had the time. So satisfying to watch a guy working on cars who knows AND shows what he's doing.
Can’t imagine how long it takes to acquire the knowledge to tackle one of these exotic engines. Very good video.
it's all on line and in manuals
This video contains almost the perfect amount of Mike Brewer. So close.
😆
🤣😂🤣
Couldn't agree more.
Always felt like Edd did all the work while Mike made phone calls and cocked about.

You’re not the only one 🦄
Wheelerdealers: 10min from start to finish full engine restoration
Tavarish: 10min to change a a spark plug
hahaha :D
Tavarish rubs me the wrong way. I tried watching his videos, but commanding the charisma of a pissed of stray cat just makes it all unwatchable.

Man I miss car shows that actually show people.........well, actually work.
Search skid factory I think you'll like it 👍
This was so enjoyable to watch.
I hope Edd is getting paid in perpetuity! I rarely watch since you fired him.
As an American, I would like to request that you bring back Edd. Whatever focus group you used that told you to replace him and remove all technical explanations to better appeal to an American audience was dead wrong.
Thank you Edd. A very great job. You make anything simple although it's really not. Bravo!
FINALLY a video on how to refurbish a Lamborghini Urraco engine. Mine's been collecting dust in the corner of my shop.
Ed was the show. Hope he does well in what ever he does inspired me to do what I do.
First of all, awesome video! I hope you did all the WYAIT stuff.....
1. What did they do, run straight water as coolant? There was no ethylene glycol dripping when you removed the coolant hose.

What about front and rear seals and the front seal on the transmission
Agree. The cam seals, crank seals and rear main seal should have been done, very suprising oversight by Edd. But, this is still one of the best all time episodes IMO!
@@petertaus63
In one of the interviews with Edd, he said how things like that were done but not shown due to time/editing.
Ed is the most knowledgeable mechanic I’ve seen.

Absolutely the best episode of WDs. Miss Edd. Gorgeous car.
And,while doing the test drive,there was this emotional moment when they realized that taking care of the water pump might have been a clever idea.
Fun fact: In Italy that license plate number results stolen
Yet the seller had all the paperwork
That’s interesting.
For Sunday Sherlocks: I wrote that "results stolen" because on the Italian police database by entering the license plate it appears that number corresponds to a stolen vehicle, this doesn't mean that the car was actually stolen, it could be trivially an error.
@@MetallaroDOC89 I knew something like that too, they showed me screenshots from a website, but can't remember what it was. Can you please tell me?
My personal nightmare would be a car show with Mike Brewer and Drew Pritchard.
By far the coolest episode ever 🏁🏁🏁
The best episode of the series by far
No Edd, no interest in subscribing
that's not edd
whats the background music? drum and bassy one is pretty sick
Nice video. I got a lot off problems from bad design on leak waterpump go through the distributor and also a broken gear claw, broken speed gauge cable, engine oil leak .but that was 40 years ago
❤it's great to see and hear Edd again.
Where does your last name originate, in the studio?🤔 Mr. China, thanks enjoy the series alot Sir. From good ol U.S.ofA.😁 peace
That color green has always been my favorite color, liked it since I was a kid.
I'm not usually a fan of green, but that's a nice one.
I would love to be Edd’s assistant on some of these wonderful machines.
Ed is a fantastic machanic with tons of charm and a great guy
It's an engine, not a 'motor'. Trusting the roll cab to carry that V8 is game. Was the flywheel machined?
Where can I find the full episode I’ve always wanted to watch
Installation of a timing belt does not require cam locks to stop accidental cam movement due to valve spring pressure?

Great Edd China video!
Edd is the best!
beautiful beautiful beautiful, nice to see you put some well deserved love back to it, just like you said, thanks for sharing! OMG 2500 for clutch parts wtf
Get ride of mike and let China and Ant run the show I think they make excellent team
Master mechanic and master fabricator. Good idea.
Ed China has to be the most intelligent and best mechanic anywhere in the world. I am a great admirer of his professional integrity.
Omg... I forgot just how magical ed was at downloading his passion into you.
What is differences between refurbish and recondition?🤔
Miss you ed china❤️❤️come back please
Good old Mr Edd China, a Legend..
Legend the most modern overused word
i finally found it!!! its been a long time since i watched wd videos. last time i watch it when i was 15
One of my all time favourite episodes of WD.
What advice will you give on a e93 335i convertible 2007
Love watching these with not much mike.
Edd knew the show would die with its new format, he left at the correct time. He should start something similar again, I would follow it.
Edd has his own TH-cam channel. You should check it out.
@@Parknest Already there ;)

why you showing old clips when ED made the show?
Interesting that WD is putting up this super old video NOW. Goes to show that Edd was the one who made the show.
2:00 drive shaft in a rear-wheel drive car... with the engine in the rear?
Not been on the road for a long time. Old style Italian plates - from Pavia.
Urrrm, that subframe at 09:10 looked brand new, how much would have that have cost I wonder?
Here's an idea... bring back Edd and have a watchable show again
Main mistake is that the Dif. is not in center f engine / wheels ( like at Miura )
How much did it go for in the end?
Ant is the best mechanic by far....period
2:16 Spider!
Fantastic work!
this is doubly good. only Edd AND in 1080p. cripes, the WD 'complete collection' i bought from amazon UK have a shite frame rate and are dvd's, so only 480p.
Lov the show and lov your work Edd :)
I would have changed the cam and crank oil seals as well
Always change the seals.
He did. Off camera. Ed revealed they did a lot of jobs off camera. You think he really wouldn’t replace those seals or any seals after he’s stripped parts down!
Have this Engine an Turbo in the middle the Zylinderheads ?? First moment i thinked "OMG, WD with Edd China again"? No its an old Part but great. Since Edd is gone i never see a newer Part in TV.
Why can't I find the video of the Uraco firing up please
the only thing i remember is him going in and fixing the spring ended up changing and replacing a whole lot more :}
I haven’t watched WD since the big man left. Sad. I loved this show.
When your on a good thing stick to it Like coca cola when they changed it, it nearly sent them broke so they had to go back to the old same coca cola.
How can i watch full episodes?
PMS punto morto superiore in Italian is top dead centre. PMS in English means something completely different.
Check out Edd's new show on his channel. Lots of spanner action just like the best days of WD - only even better.
I risk of sounding a bit late, so we have a UK based show and a US based show? If so that's fantastic. Love both points of view. Krack on.
Got a 71 Lambo Jura for sale. Ready to go In the states
They had a team of mechanics behind the camera...not just edd
