tommyd237 I agree. The only show that actually shows you how it's done. I never used to watch the first 15 minutes anyway and the last 5 minutes didn't interest me cause they never used to tell you how long Edd been working on the car or factor that in with how much profit they were making. Edd good luck with whatever you doing.
I am definitely not a car guy, have little technical / mechanical skills but I loved the way Edd showed us what he was doing, why he was doing it, and how he went about getting the job fixed. And: explained things in a manner even I understood what he was doing! That, to me, is the true mark of a real teacher!
This morning, while having breakfast, I came across an old episode of Wheeler Dealers on Discovery Channel, and seeing your face brightened up a rainy morning in Istanbul. Whenever I see the two technicians who came after you on Wheeler Dealers, I immediately change the channel.
Such a genuine person who takes pride in his work and won't sell out for the money. Wish you all the best for the future Ed. It's been a pleasure watching you on the show
WHUFC71 Mr. China is definitely the backbone of "Wheeler Dealers". I'd like to see if Edd and his "mechanic mate" Paul, come up with their own automotive show. I'm not meaning another "car flip" show, but real mechanic repair work. I don't care if all the motors are European or whatever all cars basically work the same.
And that is the part they pared down, thus why when the show moved to the US I all but quit watching. The "tech" was ever increasingly being left out for more "filler" with banter of Mike and Edd and more things being outsourced.
I agree...the show started to become Mike carrying parts and pieces to third parties to be repaired/refurbished. Gone were the days of Edd masking and compounding rims until they looked brand new....
I can not believe what i am hearing , fucking Americans . Watching ED fixing the cars IS THE SHOW , I wasn't interested in mike having a go or his shite sales tactics and losing money . All i wanted to watch was ED`S GENIUS ON REBUILDING THE CARS . ED MATE , COME BACK TO THE UK AND DO A CLARKSON , STICK TO THE FORMAT AND JUST RE-BRAND IT .
Edd you were the only reason loads of us including me watched it at all, the cars and your endless expert mechanics were the program, you are truly gifted. Thank you for the years of pleasure YOU gave us.
Ed, I spent 8 years in a job I hated playing around with cars and bikes in my spare time. Watching WD inspired me to get qualified as a mechanic and make my world bigger. I've been one for the last 4 years and I have you to thank. The detail in diagnosis and repair that you put into the series helped me get my head around things and think.... I can do this! Thank you Ed! Stick to the morals you hold and keep turning out the quaility of work you know you can. All the best, Steve
YES! without Edd wheeler dealers is just seems like an ordinary car show which not fun and filled with lies. Je is the only reason show kept going for years.
I tried watching after Edd left but it was quickly apparent that it was no longer a show worth watching. I know I’m one lonely peanut out here and won’t make a huge difference but I’m out!!
Edds scenes were the best parts of the show. It was cool how he explained how stuff worked and why he was working on some of the things on certain cars.
yeah, it was a winning formula, we liked watching the step by step format of taking a dud car and showing exactly what was done, whats the point of saying we did this and that and here's the car, actually seeing what was done was the whole point of the show
boomerhgt integrity does pay the bills. every dishonest person ive seen in the last 15 years was eventually let go once it was proven what they were doing. every person ive worked with who have worked with integrity, dilligence, dedication, upstanding professionalism has remained and got pay rises.
Dear Ed, Maybe it sound a bit strange, but what was already said is true: you àre Wheeler dealers, I would like to thank you for making difficult things easy. Only the very best can do this! I never understand the way Mike talked to you, he was spekking from an ivory tower, even a bit like his personal slave, Dear Ed, I would like to wish you the very best in your life, please do what your hart is telling you tot do, and leave the rest behind. And if you want to inspire more people to help other people, just give me a sign. Every hour of my free time goes to people with a very rare and fatal lung disease. ( pulmonary hypertension) . I had it myself and I manager to survive, thanks to a dubbele long transplant. I try to inspireour patients myself, I try to give them hope, I try to give them that feelings of being important in life. So if you wanna help me a bit, let me hear from you. We have more in common than we think: cars and inspiring people I wish you all the best, you are a much greater inspirer than you think. Best regards Wim Colle, President PAH Belgium colle.wim@gmail.com
He is, and he doesn't sound bitter at all. He almost sounds like he may have been planning on leaving anyway. I may be in the minority of those posting, but I still like the show. I hear what Edd's saying, but I honestly don't see a discernible drop the amount of garage work by Ant in each show from the amount Edd did in the earlier version. I also like Mike, which also seems to put me in the minority.
Although I do not know Ed personally, watching him, I was immensely in awe of his honesty / integrity and apparent lack of arrogance as a person. I felt he was a man you could trust with your life.
Your portion of the show was the main reason I tuned in. The art of bringing a car back to glory is entertaining and educational. You did a great job at explaining the smallest details. You go, I go.
Right on !!! None of us will watch the Show without Edd - Edd was Wheeler Dealers - the new Bloke is just awful to watch - we think he is NO Mechanic just an Actor - how awful it all turned out - Mike sold Edd away and VELOCITY did the same - No good Car Shows left on TV - Ah, Crap !!!!
Edd China, thank you for your wealth of knowledge! As a "Yank", I've always found your approach to repairs very refreshing and educational. You will be sorely missed and I find it hard to believe I will continue watching the show without you in that pivotal role. Although I'm a fan of Mike, it won't be the same. I wish you all the best and will be watching closely for anything you produce. Unfortunately, American television networks can't help themselves but to mess up a perfect formula. Cheers!

You say it well Ben. I am hoping that at some point this problem will be corrected ... I may watch one new episoide just to see ... but I can NOT imagine I'll watch without Edd. Love & Peace to All
Good luck ed, I actually thought I was the only person that watched wheeler dealers and rattled spanners in the shed. Turns out it's quite a thing and now there will be two shows.
boycott the show by only watching reruns that have Edd, Velocity needs to learn how badly they screwed up here, I want the new season to absolutely tank. Mike will be fine if the show goes down, he could easily get into other TV shows and he's got his own car dealership again.
Good luck Edd. You're a star and a gifted thinker. I met you once in the Buckingham Palace garden party, you called a friend of mine on the phone. You was a great sport. You rock and good luck buddy. You have a follower in me.
yes so have i-mikes after the mega bucks and in truth was in my opinion just a gofor on wheeler dealers---------sad to c him bad mouthing edd off on several channels but hes only after the cash-ud think hed get enough out of his car business
Edd's parts of the show were the best parts, explaining what it does, showing you how it works, suggesting preventive maintenance, going over the quirks and fixes that have been discovered over the years; Those are what made the show! Channels like Discovery, TLC, History, AHC, etc. have lost their way, and forgot what made their channels worth watching; I grew up watching these show, I almost became a history teacher because of it. This video was very classy, didnt throw anyone under the bus, and even asked the WD audience to be kind to the new guy. To Ed; I tip my hat to you.
Sorry to see you go, Please know that you are the single biggest inspiration to me and are the reason I do all my own car repairs. I have learned so much from watching wheeler dealers over the years I really look forward to seeing what you do next. All the best for the future Edd!
I think you made the right decision, in spite of my dismay at hearing the news. You were the reason I tuned in for my regular dose of automotive education. I've subscribed to your channel and eagerly anticipate your future endeavors sir!
Kendime seni örnek aldım ve kendi arabalarımı mümkün mertebe kendim tamir etmeye onarmaya çalışıyorum.Bizlere çok şey öğrettin edd usta teşekkür ederim . Türkiye'den selamlar.
When I watched them, I asked "How does the master endure ? It's a nervous job to restore cars quickly and efficiently, I realized that he has golden hands, and he will achieve everything
Screwing you and the audience! New owners finding it cheaper to take the value out of a product and sell it for the same price. Same story of ruining a great thing for supposed profits. Yuck!
+John Beckman "supposed profits" are what make the world go 'round... if no company is profitable then no one gets a job and everyone becomes unemployed ... great idea! :) unless you want to be a part of a commune and work for FREE for the greater good of the commune :)
Gaspam .gaspam_ I agree. Capitalism is great and has done more to help people thrive in the world than any other system. BUT, no application is perfect and this is a great example. When noncreators come in and kick out the creators to take their money the product suffers. Once the "Goose that lays the golden egg"" dies, the enterprise collapses. Then everybody suffers, fans and employees.
I always watched Wheeler Dealers because of the workshop segments. You learn so much when Edd talks you through what he is doing. Me as an engineer, I am fascinated by it all and learned so much about the smallest of details of cars. I actually learned how V-Tec worked in one of the episodes with an S2000. Never knew it was activated by oil pressure. Thought it was done magically haha! I also loved the history behind some of the cars that came on the show too. Thank you Edd for your time on the show! Looking forward to seeing where you end up
Gregg Cesaroni one of my favourite episodes with the S2000. Since I'm a Honda owner now i found out a lot of information on how the engine works. Even the location of the VTEC solenoid. 😂😂
Edd really taught me quite a lot about cars in ways I would have never thought possible. What ever he does as far as a TV show, I'll watch it regardless
Finally got to season 17 and to my surprise you weren’t on it. So naturally I had to figure out why and now I don’t really want to watch the rest of the seasons without you showing your brilliant work
When will TV executives realize that a majority, if not ALL of viewers of this type of show are NOT looking for drama! It's the technical aspect of WD and Edd's expertise what brought me to the show week after week. I learned so much! If I wanted drama I'd watch Fast & Loud!
You're the reason I watched this show!! Loved your explanations whilst servicing every vehicle. Your sidekick was fun, but you were the essence of the show i.e. How do we repair this car? So sad the show came to an end (corporate greed) but I support your decision. Thanks for the explanation!! Cheers from NZ.
Totally agree, this book is closed with Ed leaving and I won't be watching this "new format". Sorry to see you go Ed. Guess I can kill the record on the dvr for the show.
I'm absolutely devastated Ed China is and was the back bone of wheeler dealers,Ed your attention to detail was why I watched your show.I look forward to watching you on your new show I have subscribed to it and will enjoy it.Sad to see new producers couldn't see how important you were to wheeler dealers.Best wishes from an Aussie car nut.cheers mate.👍🌏
Bryan And they did it without yelling and screaming at each other. The only problem I had was, I couldn't get "Hair Brush" out of my head so I could concentrate on what he was doing!
Difficulty of making detailed and in depth coverage of car mechanics, means a lot of time and attention goes into this channel, because it is really living up to Edd's vision. 👍
A classy guy for sure. good on ya Ed. Since I run the scotty kilmer channel mysef, I never have to worry about management changes, just about what I want to show the public about cars that's worthy and interesting.
Edd, I’m sorry but the only reason I watched WD was because of you doing your magic on cars. I have learnt so much because of you. Thank you! And please keep doing what you love most! 👍🏽
SodadOfficial same here imo edds the best mechanic and it was him that made people what to watch wheeler dealers. To me the best part of the show was seeing do his magic on the cars and the fact he explained how he was doing it so that people watching know how to to do it as well.
interesting to see how on Mike's explanation he basically says Edd didn't want to work, Edd was horrible to people, Edd was a problem, Edd thought he was too big for the show, we got rid of Edd - whilst Edd explains about production and commercialisation changes and thanks all the people involved with the show including Mike, without ever getting personal or slagging anyone off like Mike did, i think Mike is bitter because he's losing the most valuable asset of the show and the thing that allowed him to reap in the cash - i know who i believe and who acted with more integrity and who has the bigger skillset - Mike can do one, good luck to Edd is what i say! long live Edd!
YES. The workshop bit made the show and a JELOUISE person Mike realised this!!! We got to Meet Edd and his Lovely Wife. And reading his book shows what a talented Guy he is. Love David and Lily. Reading.
That's because Mike is a giant twat and always was. Ed was the heart and soul of the show and I really hope it falls on its ass now and they can Mike. I hope the rest of the staff survive though and carry on with entirely new staff that don't need an aircraft hanger to store their egos.
@@steamsearcher So true! I actually forward most sections where Mike is talking and focus on the workshop bits. That's why I watch the show. Not for the ridiculous fake/staged car sale negotiations smh..
Is Mike’s rant about this on TH-cam somewhere? Not that I disbelieve you about what he said, mind you, it totally fits my preconceptions, but I’d like to see it.
You have helped me with many repairs over the years. Bad decision by them. You have shared so much knowledge.Most mechanics don't do that. Thank you so much. Good luck and take care.
I was very sad when I tuned into an episode of wheeler dealers and you weren't there Ed. Like many commenters here, I found your contribution the key element to the show. I'm not a car guy, but you made the mechanical repairs seem straight forward ..... and at least now I know what I don't know. I look forward to following your next ventures, best of luck to you.
Unfortunately this is so common in every industry. You have something the has been finely honed and is working to perfection, and then someone comes in that "knows better" and makes changes, and that's the end of it. Thanks' Edd for your honesty, information, entertainment and hard work over the years. You are spot on it was the detailed workshop parts that made the show. I, as no doubt many of your fans support you and wish you well in your new ventures.
Totally get where you're coming from Edd... No-one has ever demonstrated as well as you have, that cars can actually be fixed. Over the years, the show must have inspired 1,000's to consider careers in engineering ... this was always the pull of the show ... how about a completely new series called Dealer Wheelers?
Exactly, I wish Edd the best on his future. As far as mechanics on TV shows my two favorite are Edd and Roger on Chasing Classic Cars. Legendary Motor Cars tops my list as well. No BS, a natural sense of humor and probably 1,000 times the mechanical skills and total knowledge as many of these other hacks on some of the other car shows people have mentioned. As many other people posted that there are so many other shows that are staged for ratings. Like no one has ever done a burn out etc. Some of the shit these other shows display as far as employees attitudes etc. would have them fired in a reputable shop. Again, good luck Edd.
im with you on that get mike back and start again rent a sound man rent a camera man there is millions of viewers just waiting Dealer Wheeler great name or Fixer upper hahahaha
Good choice Edd. Well done for standing by what you believe in. You will be greatly missed.....you are a massive reason why a lot of viewers watch Wheeler Dealers. Their loss. Good luck mate in your next adventure.
Grand tour is laughable compared to the old top gear. It was a show that was not needed to be carried on after the original top gear finished. New top gear is shite. Wheeler dealers was good
Scotty Kilmer Are you an imbecile or playing dumb for the audience? Harris and Reid are English you idiot. Which American other than Matt are you referring to when you call out the losers? And Grand Tour is an Amazon production, and in case you're too simple to know otherwise, Amazon is an American company. Now be a good little lad and tie on your apron. The store shelves won't stock themselves.
Edd, thanks for all the information you showed us. What I love about Wheeler Dealers and what seperates it from other car shows, is that you explain everything perfectly in detail, so the average enthusiast can understand what you're changing and improving on the car. No other car show does this as good and detailed as Wheeler Dealers. You've taught us normal guys a lot about cars and car parts. Thanks for that. Whatever they do, you can't take that away from us. From the bottom of my heart, thanks.
Edd brought the meat and potatoes to the show. Edd proved you can have a car show without some tattoo covered asshole TIG welding in a wife beater. I'm really pissed at velocity for this one. If it sucks, which I'm sure it might, I'll quit watching. Just like I did with the UK top gear. The US top gear always sucked and I never watched it. But I can't stomach matt leblanc and that other asshat.
Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams Umm, with a name like that, you are not normal. I won't explain the science behind your idiocy, you're "one of those guys"
Just an amazing mechanic... And presenter. Huge in-depth technical knowledge. Unbelievable execution of repair and restoration work. Combined with an instantly approachable presentation style, which explained every detail of the work with a 'why' and 'how', in enough time for the layman to understand it. The guy is, straight away, a genius.
It was Edd's demonstration of how to fix stuff is what made me watch wheeler dealers. I salute you Edd on your integrity and keeping to your values. All the best for the future.
Well done Edd, you kept your integrity and it shines through. The new format is all about making money for the corporate machine and this video will resonate amongst those of us who value integrity, honesty, common sense and compassion. Values that are sadly lacking but they still exist in like minded people who see through the facade of this so called reality TV. You'll do well bud.
I will always remember you for your tremendous contribution to the show. I hope things have gone very well since then and wish you all the best in your future ventures. You certainly deserve it.
I agree - Edd was Wheeler Dealers - Mike his "Sidekick" - new Boy "What's his Name" an Actor(bad one) - VELOCITY sucks Doggy Doo - Edd will get his own Show ! He was the only Gentleman on the Show !!
Best of luck Edd! Wheeler Dealers is one of my favourite programmes and I agree entirely with you that the workshop section is the backbone of the show. it's certainly my favourite bit.
With all due respect for all the other involved, you were the show. You got a new subscriber here, all the best for new coming projects. And thank you, for all the good entertainment with fantastic content you gave us all this years in the WD!
Thank you so much Edd for all you have tirelessly done for the viewers and the channel, wishing you all the best and success in your new endeavours in the future. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
@Joel Berry You are CLEARLY too stupid to understand my reply so imagine this reply is in GREEN CRAYON. We can ALL have our own opinion but you stated 'I say it AS IT IS', that is arrogant, that is an opinion NOT NECESSARILY 'how it IS. Just because 'others agree' means NOTHING, many others have an opposite view, that ALSO isn't how it IS but how they SEE IT. As for 'getting over myself', I could NEVER do that as I'm FAR TOO LOVELY !
@Joel Berry At NO POINT have I EVER stated it worse OR BETTER or even INDIFFERENT, so how you came to that is beyond me. I haven't watched the new one's yet.
It's the spiel Velocity have put forward,saying "it's too hard' top make the show which has pre warned everyone that the new wheeler dealers is going to be yet another boring American TV show. The same thing happened to the great youtube channel, Roadkill.. now it's just an over produced profit making boring advert.
It was clear for some time Mike liked to be in America and American Cars. I do not think these cars, the drivers seat on the wrong site, are really very popular in England. I am not surprised, but really sad. Europe has no cultural background on American cars, Apart from Ford. Now there is the Daewo-Chevy. I hope there will be a TV program with Ed teaching us how to transform our cars in electric B de Haas
Edd. I'm 45 never owned a car in my life lol. But watching you fix those cars up, always made it interesting for me. I hope a production company out there has the sense to hire a brilliant mechanic. All the best.
You made the right decision Ed ; you are the reason why I watched the program. I asked myself where you have been , I didn't saw you in the program anymore and I stopped watching . Now I incidentily saw this video on TH-cam ( after all those years ) and I had the need to support your decision , even after 7 years.
A man with passion, caring, integrity, and great skill! Edd, your work was the reason I watched the show. You have been an inspiration to me and my channel. I learned a lot from you since long before I started working on real project cars. I now have a red MR2 just like the one you fixed on the show, and I honestly think of your wonderful repairs every time I look at the car. I even thought to myself the other day, why would I buy a replacement alternator when I can rebuild it myself? That's what Edd China would do. Velocity and Discovery have made a huge mistake, and I'm glad you were honest in this video. I think you are making the right decision. They don't deserve you, and I hope you move on to bigger and better things. Were you to start making new TH-cam videos in earnest, I know you would have thousands of fans subscribed with notifications turned on, eagerly awaiting each new video. Best of luck and thank you for this video and all of your hard work. Cheers!
I've learned a lot from you Edd. And YES, I appreciate the in-depth video of the how to portion of the show. I also felt like YOU did all the work without having a sayso of what was brought and laid at your door to repair. Thank you for all you've done. I appreciate your integrity. Lastly, I am now a subscriber.
I am an American and long time viewer and as others have stated I'm leaving with you brother. I agree with you the show taken a wrong turn it became very noticeable. Ed you were the main reason I watched Wheeler dealers. I of course loved Mike too but you are a perfectionist when it comes to your mechanical ability as a ex welder and mechanic I appreciated your step by step detailed instructions when repairing something and that was my favorite part of the show. I also liked how Mike would show those small shops in the UK that did specialized work for the cheap. I have a feeling viewership will drop rapidly unfortunately for Mike. Cheers! Good luck on future ventures.
You've done an excellent job Ed. You're the only reason I watched 'Wheeler Dealers'. I'm glad you stood up to what you believed in. I won't be watching the new format for sure.
Mr. China, I started watching wheeler dealers ONLY because of your very helpful tips that I use today to inspect and repair my vehicles. Thank you for all the good times, I would be keeping a weather eye out for your TH-cam content. All the best!
Everyone knows how tough and frustrating car mending can be... watching Edd was like watching magic in motion... nothing he couldn't fix! Wish you all the best Edd China!
As a teacher I appreciated Edd's explanations on everything he did. So clear and concise. He was the reason I watched the show and since Edd's been gone, I haven't seen a single episode.
Ed you are a true gentleman and someone I would trust with my car anytime. Sad that those in charge did not see what a GEM they had but decided to turn that gem into a brick. You said in 4 minutes what was the problem and your explanation for leaving is based on solid thoughts, facts, and ideas. Best wishes on all you do or have done since leaving. Found your channel on TH-cam and will be a fan again like I was in 2002. CHEERS!!
Buying a car is nothing..you clearly know nothing about the business do you. If it wasn't for Brewer, this show also would have been nothing! It was the team effort that was golden!
Ironically after his TH-cam channel went silent for months he now seems to agree, and has started posting excerpts of him working on the cars for Wheeler Dealers. 😂 Unfortunately for Ed the comments are entirely negative towards that, his fans want new content not watching partial reruns of Wheeler Dealers from when he was on the show. But just the parts of the show with him in it.
The work under, in and around the mechanics of the cars is what I love about the show. We are still watching older seasons so will still be watching you!👏👏👏 Sad you’ve gone, but support your decision wholeheartedly! For now we will still be enjoying your beautiful work!😃💗
The whole point of Edd being in the programme was all the specific info on specific cars. Edd chose integrity over dumbassary, and more power to him.....
6B8RX Very well said . Such a stand up man Ed is . Most would take the money and run . I respect Ed for standing up for all the hard work mechanics and car builders do every day . The new WD format is horrible and way too often feed incorrect information . The two car shows i watched were Wheeler Dealers and Full Custom Garage with Ian Rousel . Sadly Velocity doesn't air it much anymore either due to the lack of drama . Sad when good shows get ruined for profit ! Best of luck in the future Mr China !
Just found the Show and am hooked, catching up and found out you left. I think you were a great presence on the show, I found this channel so i can continue to enjoy your style! Thanks!
The very thing that made Wheeler Dealers my favorite, was all the detail that went into the actual fixes to the cars themselves, thanks to you Edd, not the ridiculous "deadline drama", that's involved in every other car show series. It just shows how out of touch with reality those Velocity execs are. Good for you Edd. I certainly appreciate your honesty and integrity. I look forward to following your career with great anticipation. Velocity and Discovery are a great disappointment to me and to most car guys who don't give a rip about the drama. God speed, Edd China!
+subtle7hunder62, I completely agree. When you look at the early episodes, what drove each program was the tricks, tips, and repairs (on the cheap) of each car. Having been a professional machanic for over 20 years, I absorbed and appreciated every minute of Edd time. He is one of the most talented and patient techs I have ever seen. His diverse skills are certainly envyable of any decent mechanic, and he knew his limitations as well, knowing when to hand a job over to those with the expertise in their field. I am now a subscriber of this channel and wish Edd the very best in the years to come.
I'm in the U.S and really loved this show. The only parts that I didn't mind missing were when Mike was doing his running around. Unfortunately when shows start to air in America they kill off a bit of their soul. I remember the same thing happened with Kitchen Nightmares. In the early seasons it was more about the cooking and turning the restaurant around. When it came over here it was all about the damn drama. I hate that some of my favorite shows come over to my county to just die. Good luck in everything that you do Mr. China. I hope to see you again soon.
Cause they made it for DUMB people, regular SHEEPLE. We are CAR enthusiasts, not BUSINESS enthusiasts, thats why ED CHINA was the soul of the show! IF i was a business enthusiast, there are MANY other shows that could make me happy.
The entire reason why I enjoy the show is watching Ed work his mechanical magic bringing back to life these old classic cars. He’s a true mechanic, not a “new parts mechanic”. Thanks Ed for all the knowledge shared and incredible entertainment
Edd China was THE reason I watched Wheeler Dealers.
tommyd237 I agree. The only show that actually shows you how it's done. I never used to watch the first 15 minutes anyway and the last 5 minutes didn't interest me cause they never used to tell you how long Edd been working on the car or factor that in with how much profit they were making. Edd good luck with whatever you doing.
tommyd237 He is the best part of the show. I will be looking for more great things to come from Ed.
me too, although Mike was cringeworthy at times.
I feel the same way,Ed makes the show .I feel like I`m loosing a good friend.
tommyd237 me too
I am definitely not a car guy, have little technical / mechanical skills but I loved the way Edd showed us what he was doing, why he was doing it, and how he went about getting the job fixed. And: explained things in a manner even I understood what he was doing! That, to me, is the true mark of a real teacher!
....well said...!
A true gentleman to the end of WD Mr China. No nasty comments, total respect to all - a true gent. Thank you
I concur.
MK1 GTi and P38 RR, were me faves.
This morning, while having breakfast, I came across an old episode of Wheeler Dealers on Discovery Channel, and seeing your face brightened up a rainy morning in Istanbul. Whenever I see the two technicians who came after you on Wheeler Dealers, I immediately change the channel.
Such a genuine person who takes pride in his work and won't sell out for the money. Wish you all the best for the future Ed. It's been a pleasure watching you on the show
From my inside source he quit because he wanted MORE money...
coughs "bullshit" coughs
Why not, he held the show together.
@@BrewersArcade, he had all rights to put a price to his labor. Mike may have been the presenter but Edd was the show.
Thanks Ed for being so honest. The show won't be the same without you.
without Edd ,Nobody watch the show
WHUFC71 Mr. China is definitely the backbone of "Wheeler Dealers". I'd like to see if Edd and his "mechanic mate" Paul, come up with their own automotive show. I'm not meaning another "car flip" show, but real mechanic repair work. I don't care if all the motors are European or whatever all cars basically work the same.
We miss you
You and the technical information were the only reason I watched the show.
And that is the part they pared down, thus why when the show moved to the US I all but quit watching. The "tech" was ever increasingly being left out for more "filler" with banter of Mike and Edd and more things being outsourced.
I'm with you, chris55top - Edd made the show worth watching and I can't see me bothering now.
Edd has the resume to kick ass where he wants now. Legit experts like him are a rare find in this "throw it away and buy a new one" world.
I agree...the show started to become Mike carrying parts and pieces to third parties to be repaired/refurbished. Gone were the days of Edd masking and compounding rims until they looked brand new....
I can not believe what i am hearing , fucking Americans . Watching ED fixing the cars IS THE SHOW , I wasn't interested in mike having a go or his shite sales tactics and losing money . All i wanted to watch was ED`S GENIUS ON REBUILDING THE CARS . ED MATE , COME BACK TO THE UK AND DO A CLARKSON , STICK TO THE FORMAT AND JUST RE-BRAND IT .
Generally in life I like listening to the guy that does the job, not the ones that comments it. Wheeler Dealer is Edd, he is the talent.
Edd you were the only reason loads of us including me watched it at all, the cars and your endless expert mechanics were the program, you are truly gifted. Thank you for the years of pleasure YOU gave us.
Best of luck to you Edd. I wish you all the best in future endeavors.
Ed, I spent 8 years in a job I hated playing around with cars and bikes in my spare time. Watching WD inspired me to get qualified as a mechanic and make my world bigger. I've been one for the last 4 years and I have you to thank. The detail in diagnosis and repair that you put into the series helped me get my head around things and think.... I can do this!
Thank you Ed! Stick to the morals you hold and keep turning out the quaility of work you know you can.
All the best, Steve
It’s not worth watching without you Ed. It’s not the same. You inspired me to go fix my car myself and do more research. Thank you.
YES! without Edd wheeler dealers is just seems like an ordinary car show which not fun and filled with lies. Je is the only reason show kept going for years.
Yes without Edd it's boring 😢
I tried watching after Edd left but it was quickly apparent that it was no longer a show worth watching. I know I’m one lonely peanut out here and won’t make a huge difference but I’m out!!
What a shame that the "suits" didn't like what many of us actually tuned in for. Nothing but the best for Edd. He has earned it.
Well he’s got over half a million subscribers on TH-cam so I think he’ll survive on his own 😃
@@OmniDubStep year later he has 1mill 🎉
Edds scenes were the best parts of the show. It was cool how he explained how stuff worked and why he was working on some of the things on certain cars.
yeah the episodes with edd were the best, not keen on the new guy
i agree
yeah, it was a winning formula, we liked watching the step by step format of taking a dud car and showing exactly what was done, whats the point of saying we did this and that and here's the car, actually seeing what was done was the whole point of the show
This is a man with incredible integrity. Edd, you're a legend.
Integrity don't pay the bills
boomerhgt integrity does pay the bills. every dishonest person ive seen in the last 15 years was eventually let go once it was proven what they were doing. every person ive worked with who have worked with integrity, dilligence, dedication, upstanding professionalism has remained and got pay rises.
"Sometimes you've just got to break free from the confines of your rut and head for the far horizon." Truer words have never been spoken.
Sadly this isn't the first time a larger corporation takes over a smaller company and ruins it's product- and it won't be the last.
I have huge respect for Ed. He always came across as an intelligent, talented true gentleman and this decision reinforces that.
fuk you
why u fking lying
@@alexdinamarca7620 Ed has integrity, so be respectful, wheeler dealers was good untill the American version ruined it 😔
Agree David Wish Ed all the best in whatever he does in future
@@alexdinamarca7620 fuck of alex cant even spell you twat get a life
Ed China is the reason I watched the show especially when he showed and explained how to fix the problem.
Dear Ed,
Maybe it sound a bit strange, but what was already said is true: you àre Wheeler dealers,
I would like to thank you for making difficult things easy. Only the very best can do this!
I never understand the way Mike talked to you, he was spekking from an ivory tower, even a bit like his personal slave,
Dear Ed, I would like to wish you the very best in your life, please do what your hart is telling you tot do, and leave the rest behind.
And if you want to inspire more people to help other people, just give me a sign.
Every hour of my free time goes to people with a very rare and fatal lung disease. ( pulmonary hypertension) . I had it myself and I manager to survive, thanks to a dubbele long transplant.
I try to inspireour patients myself, I try to give them hope, I try to give them that feelings of being important in life.
So if you wanna help me a bit, let me hear from you.
We have more in common than we think: cars and inspiring people
I wish you all the best, you are a much greater inspirer than you think.
Best regards

Ed has just proven he is a true gentleman.
Well, it was 3 years ago, but you've got the right idea
While mike just proved Mike's an arsehole lol
He is, and he doesn't sound bitter at all. He almost sounds like he may have been planning on leaving anyway. I may be in the minority of those posting, but I still like the show. I hear what Edd's saying, but I honestly don't see a discernible drop the amount of garage work by Ant in each show from the amount Edd did in the earlier version. I also like Mike, which also seems to put me in the minority.
thanks Ed, I follow in your new chanel.
Edd
Although I do not know Ed personally, watching him, I was immensely in awe of his honesty / integrity and apparent lack of arrogance as a person. I felt he was a man you could trust with your life.
Your portion of the show was the main reason I tuned in. The art of bringing a car back to glory is entertaining and educational. You did a great job at explaining the smallest details. You go, I go.
Exactly what i would say but in better english^^ WD will never be the same without you... no reason to watch it again... like the new Top Gear!
Right on !!! None of us will watch the Show without Edd - Edd was Wheeler Dealers - the new Bloke is just awful to watch - we think he is NO Mechanic just an Actor - how awful it all turned out - Mike sold Edd away and VELOCITY did the same - No good Car Shows left on TV - Ah, Crap !!!!
Edd China, thank you for your wealth of knowledge! As a "Yank", I've always found your approach to repairs very refreshing and educational. You will be sorely missed and I find it hard to believe I will continue watching the show without you in that pivotal role. Although I'm a fan of Mike, it won't be the same. I wish you all the best and will be watching closely for anything you produce. Unfortunately, American television networks can't help themselves but to mess up a perfect formula. Cheers!
snookiecrome Only if I were A) Born into a wealthy family, B) Holding a political position, C) A large group of people, or D) An otherwise generally important person in society. Unfortunately, we have a great freedom of speech, but our capitalist economy negates that freedom. Money usually drives all decision making...
You say it well Ben. I am hoping that at some point this problem will be corrected ... I may watch one new episoide just to see ... but I can NOT imagine I'll watch without Edd. Love & Peace to All
Good luck ed, I actually thought I was the only person that watched wheeler dealers and rattled spanners in the shed. Turns out it's quite a thing and now there will be two shows.
boycott the show by only watching reruns that have Edd, Velocity needs to learn how badly they screwed up here, I want the new season to absolutely tank. Mike will be fine if the show goes down, he could easily get into other TV shows and he's got his own car dealership again.
Good luck Edd. You're a star and a gifted thinker. I met you once in the Buckingham Palace garden party, you called a friend of mine on the phone. You was a great sport. You rock and good luck buddy. You have a follower in me.
I stopped watching Wheeler Dealer since Edd left.
so did I !!
@@peterstclair2610 so did i
we all did.
Thumbs up and a tiki boo to you Ed.
yes so have i-mikes after the mega bucks and in truth was in my opinion just a gofor on wheeler dealers---------sad to c him bad mouthing edd off on several channels but hes only after the cash-ud think hed get enough out of his car business
Edd's parts of the show were the best parts, explaining what it does, showing you how it works, suggesting preventive maintenance, going over the quirks and fixes that have been discovered over the years; Those are what made the show! Channels like Discovery, TLC, History, AHC, etc. have lost their way, and forgot what made their channels worth watching; I grew up watching these show, I almost became a history teacher because of it.
This video was very classy, didnt throw anyone under the bus, and even asked the WD audience to be kind to the new guy. To Ed; I tip my hat to you.
I only watched the show just to see the fixing part of the car.
Same here
My dad did the same. He always held Edd in high regard.
And I only watch it to see when they buy it and then when they sell it.
Learnt so much about almost all of the difficult but common problems with all those classics. Thanks Ed.
This show had died long time ago...TH-cam is a source to fix any car with any problem.
Sorry to see you go, Please know that you are the single biggest inspiration to me and are the reason I do all my own car repairs. I have learned so much from watching wheeler dealers over the years I really look forward to seeing what you do next. All the best for the future Edd!
Thank you for saying that. Inspiring people to take on their own projects was all I ever wanted.
Edd China you inspired me me all the way in West Virginia to work on cars. Currently getting a Mustang back on the road, all thanks to you!
This was evident. You are a class act, Edd.
Agreed REALr
I think you made the right decision, in spite of my dismay at hearing the news. You were the reason I tuned in for my regular dose of automotive education. I've subscribed to your channel and eagerly anticipate your future endeavors sir!
Kendime seni örnek aldım ve kendi arabalarımı mümkün mertebe kendim tamir etmeye onarmaya çalışıyorum.Bizlere çok şey öğrettin edd usta teşekkür ederim . Türkiye'den selamlar.
Ön tampon kırıktı birine yaptırdım becerememiş burayı izledim yarın kendim söküp yapmaya çalışıcam.
When I watched them, I asked "How does the master endure ? It's a nervous job to restore cars quickly and efficiently, I realized that he has golden hands, and he will achieve everything
What a great shame. Sorry to see corporate interests ruin another show. I applaud your integrity, Edd.
^- What I wanted to say! Wholeheartedly agree!
Managers are a worldwide growing problem....
Screwing you and the audience!
New owners finding it cheaper to take the value out of a product and sell it for the same price. Same story of ruining a great thing for supposed profits. Yuck!
+John Beckman "supposed profits" are what make the world go 'round... if no company is profitable then no one gets a job and everyone becomes unemployed ... great idea! :) unless you want to be a part of a commune and work for FREE for the greater good of the commune :)
Gaspam .gaspam_ I agree. Capitalism is great and has done more to help people thrive in the world than any other system. BUT, no application is perfect and this is a great example.
When noncreators come in and kick out the creators to take their money the product suffers. Once the "Goose that lays the golden egg"" dies, the enterprise collapses. Then everybody suffers, fans and employees.
Fair play to you Edd. I agree with your reasoning 100 %. The work IS the show. Without it, and you - it won't be the same.
I always watched Wheeler Dealers because of the workshop segments. You learn so much when Edd talks you through what he is doing. Me as an engineer, I am fascinated by it all and learned so much about the smallest of details of cars. I actually learned how V-Tec worked in one of the episodes with an S2000. Never knew it was activated by oil pressure. Thought it was done magically haha! I also loved the history behind some of the cars that came on the show too. Thank you Edd for your time on the show! Looking forward to seeing where you end up
Gregg Cesaroni one of my favourite episodes with the S2000. Since I'm a Honda owner now i found out a lot of information on how the engine works. Even the location of the VTEC solenoid. 😂😂
ME to got mine up and gone made 5k more all because of the Big fella
Edd really taught me quite a lot about cars in ways I would have never thought possible. What ever he does as far as a TV show, I'll watch it regardless
Finally got to season 17 and to my surprise you weren’t on it. So naturally I had to figure out why and now I don’t really want to watch the rest of the seasons without you showing your brilliant work
You can make your own show on youtube easily, we will watch you forever
I agreed with your idea mate.
easily? it might be easy for edd to fix cars. but edd is no video maker?
@@Kohnojake01 I do not think that Edd may have any problems to find a video maker partner.
Defo
This is so hard thing.
When will TV executives realize that a majority, if not ALL of viewers of this type of show are NOT looking for drama! It's the technical aspect of WD and Edd's expertise what brought me to the show week after week. I learned so much! If I wanted drama I'd watch Fast & Loud!
Tony V good point
soooo true ! ! ! ! !
Tony V Bravo, content not Kar-trashians, thanks Edd!
You've acted with dignity and not sold your soul. Well done sir
You're the reason I watched this show!! Loved your explanations whilst servicing every vehicle. Your sidekick was fun, but you were the essence of the show i.e. How do we repair this car? So sad the show came to an end (corporate greed) but I support your decision. Thanks for the explanation!! Cheers from NZ.
Edd, is Wheeler Dealers. Glad you have a sense of integrity, Mr. China!
Totally agree, this book is closed with Ed leaving and I won't be watching this "new format".
Sorry to see you go Ed. Guess I can kill the record on the dvr for the show.
I'm absolutely devastated Ed China is and was the back bone of wheeler dealers,Ed your attention to detail was why I watched your show.I look forward to watching you on your new show I have subscribed to it and will enjoy it.Sad to see new producers couldn't see how important you were to wheeler dealers.Best wishes from an Aussie car nut.cheers mate.👍🌏
This is sad news, I only watched Wheelers Dealers because you discussed and showed us how to do stuff in the workshop.
Bryan And they did it without yelling and screaming at each other.
Bryan And they did it without yelling and screaming at each other. The only problem I had was, I couldn't get "Hair Brush" out of my head so I could concentrate on what he was doing!
Difficulty of making detailed and in depth coverage of car mechanics, means a lot of time and attention goes into this channel, because it is really living up to Edd's vision. 👍
A classy guy for sure. good on ya Ed. Since I run the scotty kilmer channel mysef, I never have to worry about management changes, just about what I want to show the public about cars that's worthy and interesting.
Great to see you give a fellow professional a heads up.
you two need to do a car show together for sure, or a project series, you've got me out of some real car pickles Scotty, many thanks
We love you Scotty! And Edd! Two dedicated mechanics!
What if Scotty and Ed had a show together😁
Rev up your engines!
Edd, I’m sorry but the only reason I watched WD was because of you doing your magic on cars. I have learnt so much because of you. Thank you! And please keep doing what you love most! 👍🏽
SodadOfficial same here imo edds the best mechanic and it was him that made people what to watch wheeler dealers. To me the best part of the show was seeing do his magic on the cars and the fact he explained how he was doing it so that people watching know how to to do it as well.
interesting to see how on Mike's explanation he basically says Edd didn't want to work, Edd was horrible to people, Edd was a problem, Edd thought he was too big for the show, we got rid of Edd - whilst Edd explains about production and commercialisation changes and thanks all the people involved with the show including Mike, without ever getting personal or slagging anyone off like Mike did, i think Mike is bitter because he's losing the most valuable asset of the show and the thing that allowed him to reap in the cash - i know who i believe and who acted with more integrity and who has the bigger skillset - Mike can do one, good luck to Edd is what i say! long live Edd!
YES. The workshop bit made the show and a JELOUISE person Mike realised this!!!
We got to Meet Edd and his Lovely Wife. And reading his book shows what a talented Guy he is.
Love David and Lily. Reading.
That's because Mike is a giant twat and always was. Ed was the heart and soul of the show and I really hope it falls on its ass now and they can Mike. I hope the rest of the staff survive though and carry on with entirely new staff that don't need an aircraft hanger to store their egos.
@@steamsearcher So true! I actually forward most sections where Mike is talking and focus on the workshop bits. That's why I watch the show. Not for the ridiculous fake/staged car sale negotiations smh..
I know someone who has worked with Mike (not on this show) and they said he's a nob head. I can believe it. Edd made the show.
Is Mike’s rant about this on TH-cam somewhere? Not that I disbelieve you about what he said, mind you, it totally fits my preconceptions, but I’d like to see it.
Still a great loss after all those years.
Edd - we ALL miss you!
From Turkish fans;
We love you so much. We support you on this path forever.
We are grateful for not ruining your quality personality.
- Turkey
Azerbaïdjan too
Adam yeni video atınca gözlerim doldu :-)
Edd is why people watch the show.
So true !
The selling of some fixet car from Mike was not so good.
To cheap.
You have helped me with many repairs over the years. Bad decision by them. You have shared so much knowledge.Most mechanics don't do that. Thank you so much. Good luck and take care.
I was very sad when I tuned into an episode of wheeler dealers and you weren't there Ed. Like many commenters here, I found your contribution the key element to the show. I'm not a car guy, but you made the mechanical repairs seem straight forward ..... and at least now I know what I don't know. I look forward to following your next ventures, best of luck to you.
Unfortunately this is so common in every industry. You have
something the has been finely honed and is working to perfection, and then
someone comes in that "knows better" and makes changes, and that's
the end of it. Thanks' Edd for your honesty, information, entertainment and
hard work over the years. You are spot on it was the detailed workshop parts
that made the show. I, as no doubt many of your fans support you and wish you
well in your new ventures.
Spot on Ian. As I've posted earlier, if it ain't broken - don't fix it. Good luck to Edd for the future whatever that holds.
Totally get where you're coming from Edd... No-one has ever demonstrated as well as you have, that cars can actually be fixed. Over the years, the show must have inspired 1,000's to consider careers in engineering ... this was always the pull of the show ... how about a completely new series called Dealer Wheelers?
Exactly, I wish Edd the best on his future. As far as mechanics on TV shows my two favorite are Edd and Roger on Chasing Classic Cars. Legendary Motor Cars tops my list as well. No BS, a natural sense of humor and probably 1,000 times the mechanical skills and total knowledge as many of these other hacks on some of the other car shows people have mentioned.
As many other people posted that there are so many other shows that are staged for ratings. Like no one has ever done a burn out etc. Some of the shit these other shows display as far as employees attitudes etc. would have them fired in a reputable shop. Again, good luck Edd.
im with you on that get mike back and start again rent a sound man rent a camera man there is millions of viewers just waiting Dealer Wheeler great name or Fixer upper hahahaha
Good choice Edd. Well done for standing by what you believe in. You will be greatly missed.....you are a massive reason why a lot of viewers watch Wheeler Dealers. Their loss. Good luck mate in your next adventure.
Whitout Edd China wheealer dealers isn't wheeler dealers.
Magnitudo !! Edd did the work and mike to the credit
oh yes man... I agree!
Just dealers now :)
I'm agree, bye from Italy
@@elbarbaz77 Ok, from Italy ahaha
So in other words, Edd China was providing a delicious steak dinner with all the trimmings, but they wanted a McDonald's Happy Meal. Nuff said.
Thanks for having the balls to stand up to these greedy corporate bastards!!
yes, he got balls! 😄
Wheeler Dealers without Edd China?................NO THANKS!!!!!!!
look at top gear, now total garbage with those american "star" losers in it. Go for the Grand Tour on amazon.
Grand tour is laughable compared to the old top gear. It was a show that was not needed to be carried on after the original top gear finished. New top gear is shite. Wheeler dealers was good
I hate to tell you but The Grand Tour is an American TV show.
Gotta love those European xenophobes.
Scotty Kilmer Are you an imbecile or playing dumb for the audience? Harris and Reid are English you idiot. Which American other than Matt are you referring to when you call out the losers? And Grand Tour is an Amazon production, and in case you're too simple to know otherwise, Amazon is an American company. Now be a good little lad and tie on your apron. The store shelves won't stock themselves.
Edd, thanks for all the information you showed us. What I love about Wheeler Dealers and what seperates it from other car shows, is that you explain everything perfectly in detail, so the average enthusiast can understand what you're changing and improving on the car. No other car show does this as good and detailed as Wheeler Dealers. You've taught us normal guys a lot about cars and car parts. Thanks for that. Whatever they do, you can't take that away from us. From the bottom of my heart, thanks.
Edd brought the meat and potatoes to the show. Edd proved you can have a car show without some tattoo covered asshole TIG welding in a wife beater. I'm really pissed at velocity for this one. If it sucks, which I'm sure it might, I'll quit watching. Just like I did with the UK top gear. The US top gear always sucked and I never watched it. But I can't stomach matt leblanc and that other asshat.
Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams Umm, with a name like that, you are not normal. I won't explain the science behind your idiocy, you're "one of those guys"
Just an amazing mechanic... And presenter.
Huge in-depth technical knowledge. Unbelievable execution of repair and restoration work.
Combined with an instantly approachable presentation style, which explained every detail of the work with a 'why' and 'how', in enough time for the layman to understand it.
The guy is, straight away, a genius.
Shame but fully understand. A man of integrity & talent. I look forward to your next projects.🇬🇧
100% agree. He was a big inspiration to me and even in starting my channel. I watched for the work.
It was Edd's demonstration of how to fix stuff is what made me watch wheeler dealers. I salute you Edd on your integrity and keeping to your values. All the best for the future.
Well done Edd, you kept your integrity and it shines through. The new format is all about making money for the corporate machine and this video will resonate amongst those of us who value integrity, honesty, common sense and compassion. Values that are sadly lacking but they still exist in like minded people who see through the facade of this so called reality TV. You'll do well bud.
Fully agree, greed and cutting corners is not how this great show is made, I'm glad that he's stood up and not been a part of it! :)
I will always remember you for your tremendous contribution to the show. I hope things have gone very well since then and wish you all the best in your future ventures. You certainly deserve it.
A man of principle, Respect.
what Carlos said I agree totally
yupp, shows that he has his feet well on the ground..
The show will be nothing without Ed. NOTHING
I agree - Edd was Wheeler Dealers - Mike his "Sidekick" - new Boy "What's his Name" an Actor(bad one) - VELOCITY sucks Doggy Doo - Edd will get his own Show ! He was the only Gentleman on the Show !!
Best of luck Edd! Wheeler Dealers is one of my favourite programmes and I agree entirely with you that the workshop section is the backbone of the show. it's certainly my favourite bit.
With all due respect for all the other involved, you were the show. You got a new subscriber here, all the best for new coming projects. And thank you, for all the good entertainment with fantastic content you gave us all this years in the WD!
Thank you so much Edd for all you have tirelessly done for the viewers and the channel, wishing you all the best and success in your new endeavours in the future. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
Wheeler Dealers without Edd China is not Wheeler Dealers.
It would just be "dealer" since that was Mike's specialty.
@Joel Berry lol,bet ur great at parties 😂
@Joel Berry NOT how it 'IS' just how YOU SEE IT.
@Joel Berry You are CLEARLY too stupid to understand my reply so imagine this reply is in GREEN CRAYON.
We can ALL have our own opinion but you stated 'I say it AS IT IS', that is arrogant, that is an opinion NOT NECESSARILY 'how it IS.
Just because 'others agree' means NOTHING, many others have an opposite view, that ALSO isn't how it IS but how they SEE IT.
As for 'getting over myself', I could NEVER do that as I'm FAR TOO LOVELY !
@Joel Berry At NO POINT have I EVER stated it worse OR BETTER or even INDIFFERENT, so how you came to that is beyond me. I haven't watched the new one's yet.
Without Edd China, Wheeler dealers are done.
Maui
They'll get another guy, and script his part too, and you'll love it.
Enjoy your new favorite Mechanic.
Ed China is a fantastic teacher for all car enthousiats. Without him, it is not worth looking. Thank you for all you made us know
It's the spiel Velocity have put forward,saying "it's too hard' top make the show which has pre warned everyone that the new wheeler dealers is going to be yet another boring American TV show. The same thing happened to the great youtube channel, Roadkill.. now it's just an over produced profit making boring advert.
It was clear for some time Mike liked to be in America and American Cars. I do not think these cars, the drivers seat on the wrong site, are really very popular in England.
I am not surprised, but really sad. Europe has no cultural background on American cars, Apart from Ford. Now there is the Daewo-Chevy. I hope there will be a TV program with Ed teaching us how to transform our cars in electric B de Haas
Its like Top Gear without Clarkson, Hammond or May.
...Wait?
Edd. I'm 45 never owned a car in my life lol. But watching you fix those cars up, always made it interesting for me. I hope a production company out there has the sense to hire a brilliant mechanic. All the best.
this is the end if wheeler dealers.you are the heart and soul ed.mike is just a clown.
I too have never owned a car and I'm 46 but loved the show.
Ed is not a mechanic
Nice sentiments for sure, but Ed goes beyond just being a mechanic haha.
You made the right decision Ed ; you are the reason why I watched the program.
I asked myself where you have been , I didn't saw you in the program anymore and I stopped watching .
Now I incidentily saw this video on TH-cam ( after all those years ) and I had the need to support your decision , even after 7 years.
Good on you Edd!! You're a legend and I know this is only a turn in a better direction for you.
Please elaborate. I would love to find out what he's doing now. Can you tell me what his better direction is?.
@@macman975 repairing cars while drinking beer, not possible when there are cams
You WERE the show.... Best wishes and thank you for the years of entertainment and knowledge.
A man with passion, caring, integrity, and great skill! Edd, your work was the reason I watched the show. You have been an inspiration to me and my channel. I learned a lot from you since long before I started working on real project cars.
I now have a red MR2 just like the one you fixed on the show, and I honestly think of your wonderful repairs every time I look at the car. I even thought to myself the other day, why would I buy a replacement alternator when I can rebuild it myself? That's what Edd China would do.
Velocity and Discovery have made a huge mistake, and I'm glad you were honest in this video. I think you are making the right decision. They don't deserve you, and I hope you move on to bigger and better things.
Were you to start making new TH-cam videos in earnest, I know you would have thousands of fans subscribed with notifications turned on, eagerly awaiting each new video. Best of luck and thank you for this video and all of your hard work.
Cheers!
Exactly. It's worth doing it yourself, and doing it right.
I've learned a lot from you Edd. And YES, I appreciate the in-depth video of the how to portion of the show. I also felt like YOU did all the work without having a sayso of what was brought and laid at your door to repair. Thank you for all you've done. I appreciate your integrity. Lastly, I am now a subscriber.
I am an American and long time viewer and as others have stated I'm leaving with you brother. I agree with you the show taken a wrong turn it became very noticeable. Ed you were the main reason I watched Wheeler dealers. I of course loved Mike too but you are a perfectionist when it comes to your mechanical ability as a ex welder and mechanic I appreciated your step by step detailed instructions when repairing something and that was my favorite part of the show. I also liked how Mike would show those small shops in the UK that did specialized work for the cheap. I have a feeling viewership will drop rapidly unfortunately for Mike. Cheers! Good luck on future ventures.
Christopher Haynie couldn't agree more
It's a sad sad day love both you guys seen every show you have ever made hear in the uk good luck in your new endeavours.
Christopher Haynie same here bro.. the show is nothing without Ed. His works is the heart and soul of wheeler dealer.
better he start his own show.
You've done an excellent job Ed. You're the only reason I watched 'Wheeler Dealers'. I'm glad you stood up to what you believed in. I won't be watching the new format for sure.
Edd China you're the man. Watched the show for the workshop bits. Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more from you.
Mr. China, I started watching wheeler dealers ONLY because of your very helpful tips that I use today to inspect and repair my vehicles. Thank you for all the good times, I would be keeping a weather eye out for your TH-cam content. All the best!
Thank you Ed, You are a humble genius. All the BEST
Well said.
Totally Agreed
Edd you are a rare human being, namely a person with integrity and conviction. I wish you all the best.
Edd would make a great politician
I agree.
Des Kodur Edd for president in France !
Edd you're the "Mary Berry" of wheeler dealers! the show can never be the same without you. looking forward to seeing your own stuff now :)
Everyone knows how tough and frustrating car mending can be... watching Edd was like watching magic in motion... nothing he couldn't fix!
Wish you all the best Edd China!
As a teacher I appreciated Edd's explanations on everything he did. So clear and concise. He was the reason I watched the show and since Edd's been gone, I haven't seen a single episode.
Your role was the reason I loved the show. I'd rather see the details than the fake drama. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Thanks for the last 13 years quality entertainment, instructions and inspiration. All the best Edd
im going to miss ed too
hes such a smart man
Classy Edd, what a gentleman, just what we'd expect. You are the reason it was such a success. Best of luck in the new venture.
Ed you are a true gentleman and someone I would trust with my car anytime. Sad that those in charge did not see what a GEM they had but decided to turn that gem into a brick. You said in 4 minutes what was the problem and your explanation for leaving is based on solid thoughts, facts, and ideas. Best wishes on all you do or have done since leaving. Found your channel on TH-cam and will be a fan again like I was in 2002. CHEERS!!
He was the show. Buying a car is nothing. Working on it is everything.
the amount of effort he put into fixing every effin car, and then have Mike sell it for a small amount of profit!
oh man... I think the same.. Eddy is a a real genius!
Working on it is really incredibly important but buying and selling, having the right knowledge, is also important.
Buying a car is nothing..you clearly know nothing about the business do you.
If it wasn't for Brewer, this show also would have been nothing!
It was the team effort that was golden!

Ironically after his TH-cam channel went silent for months he now seems to agree, and has started posting excerpts of him working on the cars for Wheeler Dealers. 😂
Unfortunately for Ed the comments are entirely negative towards that, his fans want new content not watching partial reruns of Wheeler Dealers from when he was on the show. But just the parts of the show with him in it.
The work under, in and around the mechanics of the cars is what I love about the show. We are still watching older seasons so will still be watching you!👏👏👏 Sad you’ve gone, but support your decision wholeheartedly! For now we will still be enjoying your beautiful work!😃💗
That's what integrity looks like.
The whole point of Edd being in the programme was all the specific info on specific cars. Edd chose integrity over dumbassary, and more power to him.....
@@exsappermadman25055 Yes!
What’s he at now
6B8RX Very well said . Such a stand up man Ed is . Most would take the money and run . I respect Ed for standing up for all the hard work mechanics and car builders do every day . The new WD format is horrible and way too often feed incorrect information . The two car shows i watched were Wheeler Dealers and Full Custom Garage with Ian Rousel . Sadly Velocity doesn't air it much anymore either due to the lack of drama . Sad when good shows get ruined for profit ! Best of luck in the future Mr China !
So true. So true.
So sorry that Edd is no longer on the show, he was THE reason I watched the show.
A big middle finger to profit over quality.
Respect...
Just found the Show and am hooked, catching up and found out you left. I think you were a great presence on the show, I found this channel so i can continue to enjoy your style! Thanks!
Cok üzüldük ailece gitmene Edd seni seviyoruz Ailecek insallah benzer bir programda yakinda görüsürüz Kardeş
The very thing that made Wheeler Dealers my favorite, was all the detail that went into the actual fixes to the cars themselves, thanks to you Edd, not the ridiculous "deadline drama", that's involved in every other car show series. It just shows how out of touch with reality those Velocity execs are. Good for you Edd. I certainly appreciate your honesty and integrity. I look forward to following your career with great anticipation. Velocity and Discovery are a great disappointment to me and to most car guys who don't give a rip about the drama. God speed, Edd China!
+subtle7hunder62, I completely agree. When you look at the early episodes, what drove each program was the tricks, tips, and repairs (on the cheap) of each car. Having been a professional machanic for over 20 years, I absorbed and appreciated every minute of Edd time. He is one of the most talented and patient techs I have ever seen. His diverse skills are certainly envyable of any decent mechanic, and he knew his limitations as well, knowing when to hand a job over to those with the expertise in their field. I am now a subscriber of this channel and wish Edd the very best in the years to come.
I'm in the U.S and really loved this show. The only parts that I didn't mind missing were when Mike was doing his running around. Unfortunately when shows start to air in America they kill off a bit of their soul. I remember the same thing happened with Kitchen Nightmares. In the early seasons it was more about the cooking and turning the restaurant around. When it came over here it was all about the damn drama. I hate that some of my favorite shows come over to my county to just die. Good luck in everything that you do Mr. China. I hope to see you again soon.
Cause they made it for DUMB people, regular SHEEPLE.
We are CAR enthusiasts, not BUSINESS enthusiasts, thats why ED CHINA was the soul of the show!
IF i was a business enthusiast, there are MANY other shows that could make me happy.
The entire reason why I enjoy the show is watching Ed work his mechanical magic bringing back to life these old classic cars. He’s a true mechanic, not a “new parts mechanic”.
Thanks Ed for all the knowledge shared and incredible entertainment
