I find Ed so calming, especially when he can't find the cause of the noise and just keeps working back, and I love the little bits of ingenuity he throws in to help you make the job easier for you.
I was about to comment that exact same thing. What an automotive zen oracle he always turns out to be! And even though I know he is, it always takes me by surprise as it is so contrary to how I deal with fiddly bits and confrontations with Murphy’s law: I throw a temper tantrum....
So happy to have Edd back on TV! This is what automotive TV should've been like all along. We don't need hype man, fake sales negotiations, and fake drama about finding parts. Thanks, Edd!
Thank you for clarifying your answer to my electric Smart Car's air conditioner problem. And thanks too to the person who suggested a nearby Mercedes dealership. Love you and I'm overjoyed that you took the time to help. XXOO
It just goes to show you that even the best (EDD CHINA) can be fooled by a bad bearing noise! Great stuff as usual Edd. Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺
Ed, you really are the UK's own version of Mustie1 over in the states. Really glad you're back uploading regular content. If you ever fancy a trip down to Devon to work on some old aircooled VW's with me, you'd be more than welcome!!
You were always the most interesting part of "Wheeler Dealers". I am pleased to have found you on TH-cam and will be following your exploits. Good luck.
I enjoy projects like the Range Rover much more than the Orange but am glad to see you back on the interweb regardless. Keep up the with questions for Edd.
Hello Edd 👋! Just saw episode 8 and after watching it I subscribed immediately. It is good to see you back in action again as I've watching you on TV for a long long time in Italy, yes I'm Italian and I love restoring old cars. I'm looking forward to see your new videos and tonight I will look on your previous videos in order not to miss anything! Good job again 👍👍
So much more enjoyable to watch than so many other car shows that are rigged and faked with planted barn finds and fake incidents to cause Drama, I dont mind the adverts or the product placement, your whole team are doing a great Job Ed, great to have you back on the TV regularly again.
This was the best episode so far. The perfect balance and super relaxing. This is the ideal format for this series. Great work, incredible quality production, I’m excited for the next episode!
Agreed. I thought he stuffed a bit more fixing in this episode which was great. The gold standard doe me was when he fixed the steel box part of that shifter on that polish car. That was ingenuity on display and we’re getting back to that I can feel it.
Good to see you back. I so enjoy a TH-cam channel that doesn't think I'm deaf. Or two years old. Dad worked at Rolls Royce, East Kilbride, I had access to Hylomar. Great stuff, still using it. What I really miss is the pink release agent, LUSOL, WD40 doesn't touch it. Also good stuff was an aluminium paint that only ever appeared in an anonymous plastic bottle. It felt like holding a metal ingot :-), and a solution that left the surface encased in a very thin plastic film
I don't understand much/anything about cars, i still watch these Edd's workshop things. So entertaining and i learn every single time something new. Keep up the great work!
Edd, mate you are, like I commented elsewhere here, a true Automotive Zen Oracle. And I think you did a marvelous job at presenting something of always a bit of a sticky subject I think, the sponsorship. You really own it, explain it to us, place it in line with your own workplace ethics but also as a warning sign to others to keep themselves in check and safe while working on their dream cars; a real mutually benefactorial approach what makes you a trusted partner for your sponsor yet at the same time a trusted partner for us viewers. That is a really fine line and you walk it without a hitch. Well done mate!
I’ve watched you on wheeler dealers from the start. You actually made me into a diy mechanic which I started on a discovery 3. I now 6 years later don’t have to go to a garage. So thank you for this, I hope you never stop the workshop on here. Thank god your back 👍🏻
Brill video again Edd. Great camera angles and perspectives which really make understanding the process much easier, thanks to the photographer for the extra effort and skill.
Edd, great as usual. Nice to see the show attracting new sponsors. Big kudos to the crew, the lighting, sound, editing and filming of those tricky angles is excellent! Very appreciated.
I've been using your orange gloves for years and a very good job they do. Only issue is by the time they get to me in Australia they are horribly expensive. But at least my hands are reasonably clean at the end of the job. Thanks mate, enjoy your show.
Love ya show edd china you were always the highlight of the wheeler dealers show and now you have started your own show I am watching this its always informative and always full of detail keep up the great work 😎
Love watching Edd work and really appreciate the fact that he didn't re-edit/re-shoot the video once he realized his initial diagnosis of the alternator was potentially wrong
Best episode ever. Loved the extended repair section of a video. Advices and explanations about wearing gloves and using screwdriver as a stethoscope were my favourite bits - same things I liked when I started watching WD as a teen almost 15 years ago. Thank you and please keep continue what you´re doing!
Holy wrench Batman. The level of this episode is very close to the network level. This was originally Wheeler dealer. Learning by watching and training yourself to do. I bought nitrile gloves, but I was wondering that they sweat really fast. Well know now that they didn’t have neoprene inside. Damm, now I know what to buy.
Unusually, I am so pleased you have sponsors to help fund your channel. Great video continuing to detail the basics...Just what I need...Keep 'em coming Edd..!
Great sound bites, when you're watching along and think what the sound was going to be and the sound bite was perfectly timed, worked really well while watching along with headphones on!
Thanks Edd - your calm nature + the groovy tunes of each episode is just what the Dr. ordered after a somewhat hectic week. And to hear a Dr. tell you that having hydrocarbons in your blood is a bad idea is a wake up call to all mechanics - professional or home. I'm going to start wearing gloves from here on out.Thank you Edd!
Hey Edd, to test anything like the alternator after removing it just use a socket on your cordless drill and spin it up. I also use this to break in bearings I have replaced on machinery, like my small milling machine using the trigger to vary the speed. Cheers from Peter from OZ
all my respect to who record the voice of that tools. all records f..in awesome and real. and mr edd, my master teach me the way of listening with hose, about 1 meter hose and bigger than 10mm diameter perfect tool for listening and no need to be touch to parts.
Hi Ed. Great video. I'm liking that you've spent a bit more time on the actual car during this video. The balance between that and your Q&A seems much better.
Reminds of 1977 when the water pump bearing on my 64 Mini Cooper gave up just north of the A1 Retford roundabout. It had the 4 bladed metal fan which ripped into the radiator causing the car to overheat. The first and last time the RAC have recovered my car!
Yeah it seems treacherously simple. From first hand experience with my own infamous underwhelming self awareness I tend to start in full swing to mostly end up pulling my hair out; so I should know anything tinkery will lead me down that same path even though currently I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will do a similar or even better job than Edd does... Truly Amazing... ;-)
Excellent mechanic learned so much from this great man, fantastic to watch him back on the spanners 👍and the time for tea medicine has gotten me out of many a scrape Edd.
28 thumbs down? Must have taken Mike some time to make 28 accounts on youtube. But seriously, if you don’t like the show just don’t watch it. The lighting, filming and sound is really great, Can’t wait for the next episode ;-)!
Watching Ed China in his natural habitat is incredible it’s nice to see him back, I must say watching this is rather relaxing no shouting very calming. Thank you Mr China
Two items I use to find trouble noises 1. A 5ft piece of rubber garden hose. Use one end to probe and the other end to your ear. 2. A shop vac hose, the small end to probe and the large part over your ear. Just keep them away from spinning things. 😁
I’m not a professional mechanic like Edd, but I’m surprised that he did not perform a cooling system flush given how bad that coolant was. Who knows what remains in those coolant passages.
Time for a bit of a clean with something like Sentinel X 400, then flush out and dose to correct level with suitable antifreeze. X400 is effective for removing rust and mobilising sludge
What memories and thoughts todays video has inspired . . Mac Tools use to sell an electronic automotive stethoscope I purchased one in 1993 It then spent a lot of 1994 atached to my partners stomach throughout her pregnancy with our son while she listened to everything he did. Ever scince then it has been intrumental in pinpointing and diagnosing countless faults on cars apart from you guessed it alternator bearings due to electrical interferance. I still use the tool regularly and to great effect today. Currently my son and his partner are expecting my first Grandchild and I have thought of offering it but as you can imagine after more than 25 years service poking around in engines although still a very usefull thing to have it has shall we say seen a few better days. I'm not sure I would want to put it on my stomach . . Also I remember driving an Outspan orange back to the workshop in 1982 not very fast and poor visibility as I recall. I also as a young boy in the early to mid 1970's regularly played in the lift at Outspan House. Thank You Kindly.
As I have said before, my sons and me enjoy these episodes ever so much, however, my eldest has taken to saying to his grandparents, when they stop by, "Hi. Welcome back to the workshop!". How wonderful! Glad to hear of the new sponsor and glad that it will help in the continuation of this program! We look forward to more! As always, regards from Nanaimo Miles and sons.
I commend the production crew for helping us hear what Ed is hearing when he pinpoints each component with his makeshift listening devices.

Omg how great is to sit and watch Edd again
No probs buddy keep safe mate
I was just thinking to myself, this is what i missed.
I totally agree. Been a long time since i first watched the first few series of Wheeler Dealers. Now we can see the bits we want to see.
10/10 for the sound person on this episode.
yeah, nicely synced
Outstanding camera work on all the close ups, thumbs up to the camera man. These episodes are so relaxing to watch, much appreciated!
Exactly this! Close ups on old, greasy, non factory-fresh engine, yet the shots are crystal clear and the lighting superb... great stuff!
Thats what EDD wanted in the car Show he was in. And now he serves us with those nice Steppe repair guides and tips for people on a budget.
sound production pretty great too
I thought the same thing.
Sound editing excellent as well!
So happy to have Edd back on TV! This is what automotive TV should've been like all along. We don't need hype man, fake sales negotiations, and fake drama about finding parts. Thanks, Edd!
I love the jazz in the background, such a change from heavy metal music other car shows seem to insist on.
Thank you for clarifying your answer to my electric Smart Car's air conditioner problem. And thanks too to the person who suggested a nearby Mercedes dealership. Love you and I'm overjoyed that you took the time to help. XXOO
Any upgrade since ?
Nice to see you back Edd. Now we have two great auto repair shows happy happy happy🥰🍻
I see you have a bike beside you there, Are you going to do motorbike repairs?
It just goes to show you that even the best (EDD CHINA) can be fooled by a bad bearing noise!
Great stuff as usual Edd.
Cheers from Sydney Australia

Can't wait to see Edd PEEL out of the garage in his now repaired orange
Badum tss !
Just as long as it isn't fresh squeezed...
641k subscribers....Edd is back with a vengeance. I so much prefer to watch this than any TV show with all the fluff.
who ever is behind camera is doing awesome work!!
Ed, you really are the UK's own version of Mustie1 over in the states. Really glad you're back uploading regular content. If you ever fancy a trip down to Devon to work on some old aircooled VW's with me, you'd be more than welcome!!
You were always the most interesting part of "Wheeler Dealers". I am pleased to have found you on TH-cam and will be following your exploits. Good luck.
Agreed 👍
"Orange" you glad you didn't replace the alternator without checking the water pump? LOL. Thanks for another great video, Edd.
I enjoy projects like the Range Rover much more than the Orange but am glad to see you back on the interweb regardless. Keep up the with questions for Edd.
That cone/extension stethoscope is why I watch Edd China. What a pro tip! Thanks for the amazing content.

Edd China, he's like a knowledgeable best friend showing you how to do 'stuff'. Delightful.
That was wonderfuly calming for me to watch on what has been a stressful day. Thank you Edd 👍😊

Brilliant 😁
Good to see you back. I so enjoy a TH-cam channel that doesn't think I'm deaf. Or two years old.
Dad worked at Rolls Royce, East Kilbride, I had access to Hylomar. Great stuff, still using it. What I really miss is the pink release agent, LUSOL, WD40 doesn't touch it.
Also good stuff was an aluminium paint that only ever appeared in an anonymous plastic bottle. It felt like holding a metal ingot :-), and a solution that left the surface encased in a very thin plastic film
I don't understand much/anything about cars, i still watch these Edd's workshop things. So entertaining and i learn every single time something new. Keep up the great work!
And nice audio editing when Ed was using the stethoscope.
Very therapeutic to watch Edd fix these vehicles. I always end up with scraped knuckles !
The production quality on this new series is great!
Edd, mate you are, like I commented elsewhere here, a true Automotive Zen Oracle.

Editing of your work is fantastic Edd. The work behind the camera is only forgotten when it’s this good. High quality work from you all.
These videos are just getting better. Love the camera work, by the way - you're finding some nice angles that show the mechanical bits really well.
Another great video Edd and team. It's getting better every episode! keep it up!
Theres no way you have watched this video in full you liar! 🤣
Really great having fewer ads
I’ve watched you on wheeler dealers from the start. You actually made me into a diy mechanic which I started on a discovery 3. I now 6 years later don’t have to go to a garage. So thank you for this, I hope you never stop the workshop on here. Thank god your back 👍🏻
Best episode yet! Feels like it’s really hit its stride and the right balance of shop work and comments/chat. Great work Edd and team.
"Orange symbolizes energy, vitality, cheer, excitement, adventure, warmth, and good health." Pretty much what I feel when watching your shows.
Brill video again Edd. Great camera angles and perspectives which really make understanding the process much easier, thanks to the photographer for the extra effort and skill.
Edd, great as usual. Nice to see the show attracting new sponsors. Big kudos to the crew, the lighting, sound, editing and filming of those tricky angles is excellent! Very appreciated.

Superb close up shots 👌and good end to end coverage of a typical home diy job(s). 👍
Need orange gloves for orange car though 😀
My Dad would always use my Mum's best wooden spoon as a stethoscope - went down pretty well, as you can imagine.
My dad always used my mum as a stethoscope, which as you can imagine went down well...
Just a regular dowel works OK. Not as good sound transfer as metal but non-conductive in case you are near electrical wires.
I once used one of my mum's Tupperware containers to do an oil change. Happened at least 30 years ago, I haven't been allowed to forget about it.
My dad was struck off by the GMC for doing exactly the same thing.
@@bloccoaspirale1867
Forget the stethoscope
who’s mum went down on who?
Love to see u again. Miss u on TV! You were the reason I watched wheeler dealers, not the same without you and I no longer watch the show.
Superb camera work and editing. And Edd is superb as a host of course. I loved every minute of this episode and can't wait for the next one.
Weekend starting with Edd tinkering. That is great.
Love ya show edd china you were always the highlight of the wheeler dealers show and now you have started your own show I am watching this its always informative and always full of detail keep up the great work 😎
The sound detail of this episode is just incredible on that part of the stethoscope!
How refreshing to watch a car repair show doing just 'what it says on the tin' well done Edd you should be on mainstream TV again.
Eddie, No Fair! Every time I have to replace a water pump it seems to be the coldest, wettest, windyest late afternoon of the year. 😆😆
I entered Edd.
Love watching Edd work and really appreciate the fact that he didn't re-edit/re-shoot the video once he realized his initial diagnosis of the alternator was potentially wrong
Every video I watch production as in camera, sound, scripts etc is getting better props to you guys your on (🔥)
Best episode ever. Loved the extended repair section of a video. Advices and explanations about wearing gloves and using screwdriver as a stethoscope were my favourite bits - same things I liked when I started watching WD as a teen almost 15 years ago. Thank you and please keep continue what you´re doing!
Best half hour of the weekend!! Love the camera work and the hints and tips. Plus the only brewer in sight is Edd with his tea!!!
Enjoyed having more 'mechanical' content in this week's video. These are my favourite bits.
Holy wrench Batman. The level of this episode is very close to the network level. This was originally Wheeler dealer. Learning by watching and training yourself to do. I bought nitrile gloves, but I was wondering that they sweat really fast. Well know now that they didn’t have neoprene inside. Damm, now I know what to buy.

Perfect blend of talk and practical, real life spannering. Relaxed as ever, Edd makes me think I could do this stuff as easily as he does!
Yeah it seems treacherously simple. From first hand experience with my own infamous underwhelming self awareness I tend to start in full swing to mostly end up pulling my hair out; so I should know anything tinkery will lead me down that same path even though currently I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will do a similar or even better job than Edd does...

Yeah that kind of misplaced confidence now has me spannering with three transaxle Porsches. The local parts counters definitely know me.
A big hug from Brazil Edd, in Brazilians we will never forget their mechanical classes
Love how many of the comments agree how satisfying this is :D I feel absolutely the same!
Thank you Edd & all the best!!
Good evening from The Netherlands Edd! Hope you'll have a grand weekend!
Been working on cars for over 20 years and Edd is always teaching me something new! Exactly why he is the best! Great episode sir!
Excellent episode! Greetings from Argentina!
Excellent mechanic learned so much from this great man, fantastic to watch him back on the spanners 👍and the time for tea medicine has gotten me out of many a scrape Edd.
Having Edd back on screen is like reconnecting with an old friend.
great video, far more oily bits which is just brilliant. Also great to watch a job started and seen through and not left us hanging for next episode
28 thumbs down? Must have taken Mike some time to make 28 accounts on youtube. But seriously, if you don’t like the show just don’t watch it.
The lighting, filming and sound is really great, Can’t wait for the next episode ;-)!
Lovely bit of spanner work. Satisfying to see the job start to finish and close-ups of each stage. 👍
Thats what my tradesman always said. “Work smart not hard”.Edd is the best example of this saying.
You watch this channel then watch the drivel that Discovery calls content, theres no comparison, Keep up the great work Ed.
You did a great job recording those chirping sounds.
Watching Ed China in his natural habitat is incredible it’s nice to see him back, I must say watching this is rather relaxing no shouting very calming. Thank you Mr China
always good idea to make sure your orange has plenty of juice.... I'll show myself out.
Two items I use to find trouble noises

2. A shop vac hose, the small end to probe and the large part over your ear.

You make this stuff look way to easy, superb production again and congrats on the sponsor, many more to come ☺️
Wonderful series Edd, so enjoying this. Great production too 👍
Really appreciate the description of how to diagnose things using the various forms of stethoscope
Ed's presenting style is settling into a much more natural and confident one
I’m not a professional mechanic like Edd, but I’m surprised that he did not perform a cooling system flush given how bad that coolant was. Who knows what remains in those coolant passages.
Agreed, plus new thermostat.
Or change the thermostat.
I thought he would flush the block as well. Maybe he did but it was cut for time?
That nasty so called coolant is most likely the cause of the pump failure. =)
Time for a bit of a clean with something like Sentinel X 400, then flush out and dose to correct level with suitable antifreeze.
X400 is effective for removing rust and mobilising sludge
Ed you're a great presenter, as well as a great mechanic.
Cracking, another enjoyable episode. Thanks Edd.
close ups of bolt extraction of alternator pivot bolt was amazing! great camera work.
Yes we need to see edd, back on tv doing what he loves to , the right way, cheers mate
I love watching Ed work on cars. Also love the Extra Juice for the orange. Haha
Superb show. I haven't worked on a mini engine since the 70s but still recognize every part.
Marvellous Ed ! ... and hats off to the camera man .
What memories and thoughts todays video has inspired . .

Great video Ed - very relaxing viewing on a Friday night !!
i always have loved watching edd, its all the easy stuff you can do at home without a mechanic or the harder stuff pro's do.
Another relaxing and informative episode. Thank you Edd!
As I have said before, my sons and me enjoy these episodes ever so much, however, my eldest has taken to saying to his grandparents, when they stop by, "Hi. Welcome back to the workshop!".
How wonderful!
Glad to hear of the new sponsor and glad that it will help in the continuation of this program! We look forward to more!
