Not the same any more listen to brewer talking shit the second wing is just Garbage tit and the original wing does not create full down force till the car is running over 400 horse
Ford USA have made some great race cars over the years, the Mustang being an obvious one. But Ford UK and Ford Germany have made some fantastic cars too. The Escorts out of Ford’s rally shop and the Ford Capris from Germany were amazing in their time plus of course the gorgeous RS200. Long live the blue oval
Lovely car but these shows are getting farcical, I can see why Edd left. The new boy spends most of the time posing for the camera. The 2nd hand car salesman is clear eating himself into an early grave and sweating like crazy. This is another lazily produced episode, they found an owner who's willing to let their car be used for filming. The only requirement is that they pretend to sell and then buy it back. Shame this used to be a very good show.
Except they actually bought and sold the s2000, it was never lent for filming. There is a build thread for the car somewhere I seem to remember and the owner said he bought it off the guy who sold it to wheeler dealers and much much more was done than on camera.
@Paul Sykes No he's spot on, any fast ford with cosworth in the name are very desirable and can fetch huge amounts of money, up to millions of dollars for old race cars, and even production cars like the rs 200. Cosworth are motorsports legends, cosworth built and designed engines backed by Ford have won every single championship in the game, from over 176 f1 races and many f1 titles, to indy car championships, and indy 500 titles, to nascar championships for ford and Chevrolet, they have won more or less every motorsports championship you can think off. The Sierra Rs 500 race car is still the most successful race car in the whole of Motorsports, which dominated the world touring car championship world wide in every country and Rallies, the Aussies were getting 180mph out of their 2 litre rs 500 cosworths in their touring car series, that,s ridiculously fast for a 2 litre Saloon car from the mid 80's, the Sierra Rs 500 Cosworth road going production car can fetch up to 90 to 150k alone, and race spec version are worth ridiculous money

Ed was the show as for brewer was just fumes from Ed's exhaust pipe lol loved ed China in wheeler dealers but flathead brewer was diesel fumes cough cough 😥😥😥
So you miss a guy that always was complaining and had a lazy attitude when he had to fix the cars lol, edd always was crying before fixing anything lol.
I would say Ants doing a pretty good job making it his part now it's just people are so used to Edd China but overtime people will be saying he's (Ants) doing just a good of a job it just takes time for something different
That's precisely what they did show though! Ant took apart the turbo and fixed it. he took apart the engine and gearbox and fixed that too. Ant's seems like a decent bloke and is very knowledgeable and watchable don't just dismiss him out of hand just because he's not Ed.
Why?! The original designer of the car designed it with the 3rd wing and FORD's finance officers cut it out to save money in production. The car was always meant to have it.
Some of the comments appear to be from people who sound like they haven't watched the episode. Mike explains that customised cars are popular in the market they're selling (the U.S). Its unlikely there are any ruined MkV Escorts over in the states with rust, bits missing or needing what we might consider the ''normal'' WD type repairs, so with this example they've obviously thought of an entertaining way to 'transform' the car and the net result ties in with the custom/US market angle and it was also fascinating to meet the designer and learn about the 3rd wing, which if you watch the episode actually increased downforce. I think as an opener it was a great showcase for Ant and his skills and for the U.K audience it was a great episode with a familiar popular car! I thought Ant was better on camera than Edd, I love Edd but didn't feel like they've scrapped all the hands on bits? The owner buying back bit was maybe a bit made up who knows, thats only a very small part of the show right at the end anyway.
Are you out of your minds to blast music right when he starts that Cosworth engine, and keep blasting all the while he's driving? Do you understand your audience even, that we are watching this to hear the engine??? GET FIRED.
The 3rd spoiler was a spoiler 🤢 Wheel's a Turbo rebuild and oil leak fix......$20'000? Mike was never the Charm of Wheeler dealer's The only thing getting Down force is the look with that Abortion of an optional extra.
It's not only boys who dream about the RS Cosworth. there are a few of us girls who want an Escort Cosworth RS in our garage. The bi-plane spoiler makes it extra cool.
Total set up! seen it all b4 on wheeler dealers, rebuy your car for an over inflated price, wtf. 3 wings get a grip ! Ed must be pissing himself after seeing this .
My favourite car of all time the escort RS cosworth to pick up a really clean original spec fully serviced escort cossie is about £25-30k now and the mark 1 escort RS turbo still costs up to £10k if in mint condition and fully original and fully serviced my two favourite fords of all the time i do like the Sierra RS 500 cosworth aswell big bucks for one of them aswell i had an F Reg Renault 5 GT Turbo in metallic grey when i was 21 it was stunning very rapid i part exchanged it for a vaxuhall K Reg Cavalier Sri 2.0L16v in green but it was stolen and burnt out so i give up on my sporty cars my mrs has a fiesta ST in blue i have a transit connect for work lol
this is actually was a really great show I remember when mike and ed first came out and aired on speed ch in 2006 if you don't like it make your own TV show simple stop hating
Jep! And You certainly like to take shit from the street DIRECTLY with Your mouth :) What the fuck? I would strongly advise the miserable sales guy to stop with way too many alcohol!
Mike doesn't know what he's talking about, the "whale tail" tail was not necessary, thats why it was optional! Also in some markets the Cosworth could not be sold with it fitted so they only got the small lip spoiler in some countries. Adding that aftermarket spoiler was pointless...just adds more drag and ruins rear visibility!
I didn't say it didn't produce any downforce, just that it was not "necessary"...contrary to what motormouth Mike said. Hence why it was optional equipment as part of the "aero pack". Any rear downforce the car "needed" came from the lip on the bootlid. Whatever the wing gave was supplementary. The front bib on the other hand, yes that was strictly functional and hence factory fitted to all models.
The tool that installed that 3rd wing would think nothing of installing some goodmans on the parcel shelf, hopefully the owner converts it back, Jeremy Clarkson was quoted £19000 to insure one in the 90's.
The double whale is terrible but the man who was the origional designer is now the lead designer for McLaren. At the time he opted for the double wing as it creates great down force but I ford opted out and went for the nicer looking wing
Personally I think a lot of you are wrong,I thought the 3rd spoiler looks ace. One off and given the fact it was the original design then it can only make it worth more money the longer time goes on. I love Edd but you have to give the new lad credit. It's big shoes to fill so it's never going to be easy.
I have now read over ten comments in which were false information, so I have to make something clear. I know this car very well (I own two of them) and can give you much more correct informations. I make it short. This car was engineered in England, from Ford Motorsport and Fords own former department SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) which made the rally cars among other things at that time. The body was build from Karmann in Rheine, Germany near Osnabrück in a small factory building, and it was totaly handbuilt. Now to the spoiler. The two spoiler setup was tuned in over 200 hours of detailed work in the windtunnel at Fords factory in cologne, germany. The decisive factor is the distance between the two spoilers. If you put the third in the middle (in this setup) its unhelpful. In this setting it hat 45 newton downforce at the front (with the original two spoilers and two splitters on the front bumber), and 190 newton at the back at 180 km/h. So this was the first production car with downforce on the front and the back at high speed. And it has nothing to do with the design of the car. It was only for racing. When they did two wings cause of cost reasons, why has the group a rally car, which cost around 150.000 Euros at that time, exactly the same wings? Questions?
Phantomx0_1 no it wasnt . the whaletail yes . but that shit they put in the middle no. A designer said that his original drawings and design had the mid wing but he said for costs it was dropped . fords polite way of saying. "That looks shit"
I like it when they walk into another garage and supposedly meet for the first time. Didn't they wonder what the film crew was doing in there. Lol. Show needs a revamp. Who agrees?
Over here in Britain originality is very important so wasting time and money bolting aftermarket wheels and spoiler to a classic would de-value car and irritate most potential buyers. Mid spoiler is unique but so is a tap dancing mongoose & Just as useful. I guess This episode will stop most Brits from watching any more new episodes. I owned one of these cars for a few months back in 1998 & in my opinion it did not need more down force plus mid spoiler would restrict rear visibility. I,ll stick to watching old episodes featuring Edd China.
Back in 2001 i bought an H Reg cavalier Sri 2.0L 8v in white fully original and i bought it off an elderly couple in Shropshire it was always kept in their garage and never drove over 60mph it was like new very low mileage thats all i did to it was put matching white skirts/wing mirrors/ door handles and 17inch 5 spoke alloy wheels on it i loved that car it was very fast i sold it 2 years later to a mechanic who only wanted the engine to put in a Nova GTE
Absolute legend of a Ford. I would leave the proper alloys on it though as these cars of an age need to look standard. I remember when a minter was £18k but I bought my first house instead 😞 Regret.
Very Beautiful car, me n my baby bro loved this show, so entertaining, haha I have an uncle just like Mike, he can sell ice to an eskimo 🤣🤣🤣 True wheeler Dealers👍
Just what I expected , Less Mechanics & more smoke and mirrors , I think Mike and the new boy are trying to hard to make it look like they are having a good time without Edd ....
I found episode interesting. Car looked great ant looks like it will work. ant explained turbo great detail but he said i will give engine thorough overhaul but we didnt get to see this. I understand that ant is under guidelines on workshop airtime but it does ruin show as i interested in mechanical side
he said you can repair the turbo your self but then he had to get the turbo balanced by somebody. so its not a diy job and that rear wing how could they do that to a cosworth
I didn't notice much time being spent fixing this car in the workshop. They wasted so much time on that stupid spoiler for the rear of the car. People want to see the mechanic fixing mechanical problems with the cars not cosmetic stuff like the spoiler. They didn't show a full service of the engine or how he fixed the exhaust system to stop the smell in the car, why not?
do you really need to be shown how to service a car and replace a cat - these are basic workshop functions and have been covered many times in previous series. So rather than repeat the same thing and over and over again they try and show new things - you know, in the interests of keeping it interesting!
andrew walker the smell they talk about every cosworth has that smell its boost gasses my sierra and escort both did it when dumpvalve dropped gasses programs been fucked by americanising it hope eds new programs far better as ed made the show brewers only good for ripping owners off and always bidding them down silly amounts id tell him to fuck off and chase his tail if he came to buy my car and tried ripping me off brewer is on utube in a clip slagging ed off saying ed wasnt a mechanic he was a tv star what a crock of shit as if wasnt for ed wheeler dealers wouldnt have got a 2nd season like the 3 diff programs brewer hosted b4 it and i watched show for repairs not for a fat fake tanned rip off merchant whos now playing with hair dyes long live ed china mike brewers a fat ungratefull bastard who talks shit
Andrew Walker thats exactly why Edd left WD ge said the viewers wanted to see the work been done but when the bigger US production company took iver the smaller UK company they binned the parts where Edd fixed the cars and Edd said goodbye. Edd has a video stating the reasons why he left, apprently fan boys were threatning MB and Edd had to say calm it down.
I don't know a lot about fixing car I know how they feel if you sell them you try not to rip people and you make sure they are safe mot service bills to show what has been done to get it safe
So i saw this episode last night, what a set up, they never bought and reselled that cosworth. it was all staged. they wanted to get there hands on a cosworth, bud couldn't find one for sale. so they came up with some tv BS . a friend of mine ones a car exactly like that, they could have talked about how to recalibrate the engine by a simple trick . and how the original spark coil isn't strong enough and lot's of more stuff. and when they driving that car , they really really really really overacting, like the car gives them orgasms or something. be truthfull to your tv program guys, people see the BS when you make it BS.
The Cossy didn't seem to be boosting properly going by the clip of the boost gauge, rev gauge, and the associated comments from Mike. Going from the picture of the engine that seems to be the 'small turbo' (YBP), fitted with a Garrett T25 turbo. It should be boosting at around 1 bar from ~3500rpm, and overboosting to around 1.3 bar briefly! And the boost shouldn't be still creeping up at 5000rpm! Quite the opposite on the T25. Maybe it was just a misleading clip and the usual clueless commentary from Mike, but if not, that Cossy has a lot more to give.
Imagine agreeing to pretend to pay $20k for someone to completely ruin your car. That third wing and the wheels are disgusting, the car was aesthetically perfect when he "sold" it.
never seen a escort rs until i watched this show and believe me how shocked i was to have one show up the next day at my work "a ford dealer" and nobody i worked with had any idea of it's value long story short the guy driving it came in to buy a mustang and was not trading it in. before he left i asked him what he wanted for his 95 rs and he said $40k so i took a few pictures of it and posted it on craigslist and within a day i had a guy from the west coast calling me. quickest and easiest flip putting $$$ in my pocket for posting someone else's car thanks wheeler dealer's...
right ive just seen something werid...the car is stood still,engine not running at 1.30mins.it shows the dashboard and its says it's doing 10mph......HOW....somethings not right Mike...
It isn't showing 10mph, the needle is resting on the stop and the speedo numbers start at 10mph as anything less is rather pointless to show the driver.
Will done Edd China. Definitely made the right decision to leave 😂😂😂
Not the same any more listen to brewer talking shit the second wing is just Garbage tit and the original wing does not create full down force till the car is running over 400 horse
he didnt buy the car back. he loaned it just for the programme and got it back for free

Shame this used to be a very good show.
Yeah totally agree I hate these episodes where the owner "buys" the car back, just like the orange s2000 episode
FAKE
McT740052 - They also did the same with the RX7
They ruined that RX7 too
The worst part was the vinyl wrap, but would have been removed by the production company after filming if the owner didn't like it.
Except they actually bought and sold the s2000, it was never lent for filming. There is a build thread for the car somewhere I seem to remember and the owner said he bought it off the guy who sold it to wheeler dealers and much much more was done than on camera.
Wow, $20k for a service, set of wheels and a bit plastic.
Your looking at 70k british pounds, 80k US dollars for half decent one, so it's a good deal, and the turbo, gearbox, engine, cats were fixed.

I like it when they walk into another garage and supposedly meet for the first time. Didn't they wonder what the film crew was doing in there. Lol. Show needs a revamp. Who agrees?
That's a dear repair bill, $20k for a ruined cosworth
Will you be putting full episodes up for purchase like before?
The American is incredibly polite.
Over here in Britain originality is very important so wasting time and money bolting aftermarket wheels and spoiler to a classic would de-value car and irritate most potential buyers. Mid spoiler is unique but so is a tap dancing mongoose & Just as useful. I guess This episode will stop most Brits from watching any more new episodes. I owned one of these cars for a few months back in 1998 & in my opinion it did not need more down force plus mid spoiler would restrict rear visibility. I,ll stick to watching old episodes featuring Edd China.
100 % this show has gone to shit
Ever since it went to the US it's not been the same, where's the pugs, vws etc....?!
As a Brit I don,t like high fives and American terms like (unicorn car) and (lost its fizz) need to bring this show back to uk with Edd
Back in 2001 i bought an H Reg cavalier Sri 2.0L 8v in white fully original and i bought it off an elderly couple in Shropshire it was always kept in their garage and never drove over 60mph it was like new very low mileage thats all i did to it was put matching white skirts/wing mirrors/ door handles and 17inch 5 spoke alloy wheels on it i loved that car it was very fast i sold it 2 years later to a mechanic who only wanted the engine to put in a Nova GTE
Here here original is best modified or mods takes away the value of any car as for wheeler dealers ed was the show not brewer lol
The new Ed China, it's the guy off our UK TV show CAR S. O. S
My favoriete car and episode.
So....Brewer basically did a full service and some mods for 20g!
That spoiler has fucked it right up *edit* at least it now matches Mike’s chins 😂
Definitely not the same without Mr China , come back ed & show em how it's done
I miss edd
Quite like the 3rd wing tbh.
Absolute legend of a Ford.
I would leave the proper alloys on it though as these cars of an age need to look standard.
I remember when a minter was £18k but I bought my first house instead 😞 Regret.
Very Beautiful car, me n my baby bro loved this show, so entertaining, haha I have an uncle just like Mike, he can sell ice to an eskimo 🤣🤣🤣 True wheeler Dealers👍
Mike stop taking the magic mushrooms
Them boys just got money like that
I like the wheels that are on it, but im glad the originals have been kept. But that rear wing. Why on earth would you do that?
not a clue the pair of them wrecked a nice car stay over in the usa mike !!
Just what I expected , Less Mechanics & more smoke and mirrors , I think Mike and the new boy are trying to hard to make it look like they are having a good time without Edd ....
I found episode interesting. Car looked great ant looks like it will work. ant explained turbo great detail but he said i will give engine thorough overhaul but we didnt get to see this. I understand that ant is under guidelines on workshop airtime but it does ruin show as i interested in mechanical side
he said you can repair the turbo your self but then he had to get the turbo balanced by somebody. so its not a diy job and that rear wing how could they do that to a cosworth
Please never ever let these muppets near a cossie again🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Barryboys are calling you mike and edd, sorry ant lol🐴
Spoiler alert 🚨
so they do ondemand repairs now, can I send my seat leon? it needs a new distribution kit
severely cut for youtube,there is wood inside the 3rd wing that was cut in half to fit!!
I didn't notice much time being spent fixing this car in the workshop. They wasted so much time on that stupid spoiler for the rear of the car. People want to see the mechanic fixing mechanical problems with the cars not cosmetic stuff like the spoiler. They didn't show a full service of the engine or how he fixed the exhaust system to stop the smell in the car, why not?
do you really need to be shown how to service a car and replace a cat - these are basic workshop functions and have been covered many times in previous series. So rather than repeat the same thing and over and over again they try and show new things - you know, in the interests of keeping it interesting!
andrew walker the smell they talk about every cosworth has that smell its boost gasses my sierra and escort both did it when dumpvalve dropped gasses programs been fucked by americanising it hope eds new programs far better as ed made the show brewers only good for ripping owners off and always bidding them down silly amounts id tell him to fuck off and chase his tail if he came to buy my car and tried ripping me off brewer is on utube in a clip slagging ed off saying ed wasnt a mechanic he was a tv star what a crock of shit as if wasnt for ed wheeler dealers wouldnt have got a 2nd season like the 3 diff programs brewer hosted b4 it and i watched show for repairs not for a fat fake tanned rip off merchant whos now playing with hair dyes long live ed china mike brewers a fat ungratefull bastard who talks shit
Andrew Walker thats exactly why Edd left WD ge said the viewers wanted to see the work been done but when the bigger US production company took iver the smaller UK company they binned the parts where Edd fixed the cars and Edd said goodbye. Edd has a video stating the reasons why he left, apprently fan boys were threatning MB and Edd had to say calm it down.
Do you realise that this is is not the full programme don't you - Ant rebuilds the turbo, removes the engine and gearbox in the FULL edition!
fastra yes i was just saying why Edd left, he has videos stating why he left on his yputube channel. Link m.th-cam.com/video/8IB15T1LYiY/w-d-xo.html
That's worth every penny.
How can i find the full episodes
500 quid revamp n 20k profit,mike ur a legend
This doesn’t pass the smell test, love the British accent
the show is not the same at some point tv shows come to a point where it’s run its day and this show is no 1 of then.
Sold him the car back 50g man got wripped off. Man could hav jus spent a grand on it ta fix the problem lol
smart modz he'll be laughing within a few years when it's worth more then what he payed for it
Yeah totally wrong to add another spoiler it devalued the car. And the monte Carlos wheels should of stayed original. They looked ok as they were.
I don't know a lot about fixing car I know how they feel if you sell them you try not to rip people and you make sure they are safe mot service bills to show what has been done to get it safe
The wheels and spoiler ruined the car.
No one give a shit about opinion of yanks
Which have zero idea about motorsport legend....
John Brett they are the wheels alloy reproductions of the magnesium wheels used by the wrc car.
that spoiler is a disgrace to the original though.
What's with the stupid middle wing, that's one way to ruin a classic! The wheels are fine, standard fit on the Monte Carlo version
So i saw this episode last night, what a set up, they never bought and reselled that cosworth. it was all staged. they wanted to get there hands on a cosworth, bud couldn't find one for sale. so they came up with some tv BS . a friend of mine ones a car exactly like that, they could have talked about how to recalibrate the engine by a simple trick . and how the original spark coil isn't strong enough and lot's of more stuff. and when they driving that car , they really really really really overacting, like the car gives them orgasms or something. be truthfull to your tv program guys, people see the BS when you make it BS.
I would prefer one of those right hand drive
Imagine the view out of the rear with the third spoiler...
MY DREAM CAR !!!!
That guy got bent over.
No Edd China - No Wheeler Dealers
The Cossy didn't seem to be boosting properly going by the clip of the boost gauge, rev gauge, and the associated comments from Mike. Going from the picture of the engine that seems to be the 'small turbo' (YBP), fitted with a Garrett T25 turbo. It should be boosting at around 1 bar from ~3500rpm, and overboosting to around 1.3 bar briefly!
And the boost shouldn't be still creeping up at 5000rpm! Quite the opposite on the T25.
Maybe it was just a misleading clip and the usual clueless commentary from Mike, but if not, that Cossy has a lot more to give.
that wing would be doing nothing at the speed they are travelling
They look like Laurel and Hardy driving along together. Never noticed it before.
Imagine agreeing to pretend to pay $20k for someone to completely ruin your car. That third wing and the wheels are disgusting, the car was aesthetically perfect when he "sold" it.
Even the steeringwheel is on the correct side this time!
Lol
never seen a escort rs until i watched this show and believe me how shocked i was to have one show up the next day at my work "a ford dealer" and nobody i worked with had any idea of it's value long story short the guy driving it came in to buy a mustang and was not trading it in. before he left i asked him what he wanted for his 95 rs and he said $40k so i took a few pictures of it and posted it on craigslist and within a day i had a guy from the west coast calling me. quickest and easiest flip putting $$$ in my pocket for posting someone else's car thanks wheeler dealer's...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you a little ‘Mike jnr’ salesman 😂
right ive just seen something werid...the car is stood still,engine not running at 1.30mins.it shows the dashboard and its says it's doing 10mph......HOW....somethings not right Mike...
It isn't showing 10mph, the needle is resting on the stop and the speedo numbers start at 10mph as anything less is rather pointless to show the driver.
