Great to see Ed back onscreen. Great presenter. Don’t limit him to vans.
I'd watch him even if he reviewed farm equipment.
Oh and ed when is your new program comming?
Edd China is the Gold Standard for Honesty, informed smarts and NO BS
Damn , I missed this guy ..great job Ed 🤝
Nice to see your back Edd, when i was a van driver [now mobile cranes] i HATED THE over priced Sprinter my boss at the time bought a new VW LT35 extra LWB which was MY VAN . I used to drive upto Longbridge [ROVER] and over to Land Rover Solihull and Loved that van So comfortable good on fuel [not that i payed] but it NEVER let me down. I put 167,000 on the clock in 2 years right up until the GREEDY managers BROKE the back of Rover and i lost my job of 13 years ,i also drove Lorries at the time. Since then i have been an VW/Audi guy all the way.
It just shows ,that was a brilliant review and i didn’t miss mike brewer one bit.....more ed please👍👍👍
Hooray! It's Edd China. He's a great person to review vans/cars. Nice one.
Great to see Ed back! Top bloke whose opinion I will definitely trust.
is it his opinion but????
talking about loads of comfort whilst steering wheel on knees and sitting on rear end of bottom seems a bit streched..
Wheeler dealers is nothing without this guy
You are good at this Ed - would like to see more.
Never thought I'd watch a review of a bloody van... that is, until I saw it was done by mr. China!
Great review as always mate,super job,Cheers
Great review Ed, detailed and very informative.
I now need a crafter in my life! Top job edd, good to see you back.
More Ed please! Don't care if it is a shopping trolley or a wheelbarrow: if it's got wheels and you have Ed review it....... I'll watch it! 😉
I just bought my first Volkswagen Crafter yesterday 😊 L4H3 RWD 177bhp.
After watching this video another confirmation that I made the right choice! Thx Edd! 👌🏻
every review should now be done by Ed China :D
Great to see Edd back.
Hi Ed, great video, looking forward to more 👍🏻
Ed is the best! Still watching old wheeler dealers episodes. Carry on!
Great stuff, more Ed China. Subbed.
It is cool to see Edd again. I hope we will see more of him. I can also Imagine to see a car test from him. Cool review by the way.
It's a pleasure to see Edd in video. I hope he come back to explain how to repair old cars
everyone need more Ed in their life :-D
Ed. You are the best. Please do reviews on everything. You need your own TV show!
I'm not remotely interested in vans, but I'm here to listen and watch Ed China talk about them. Which makes it interesting and enjoyable to watch.
Nice to see you in action again Edd.
Great to see Ed again..more please
Glad your back on ED.
Also worth mentioning that whilst the Crafter is no longer merely a rebadged Sprinter, you can get the new Crafter with MAN badges.
So you could be a white van man driving a white MAN van.
😁
“Get a Van, Jez. You do that, and we can be Men with Ven.”
A white man van driving a white MAN van.
Hang on, the transit is available with fwd, rwd and awd and automatic
Why is ed China reviewing vans? Should have his own series
Great review Edd, thanks, keep up the good work!
Great work Edd. More Edd, please 👍🏻
Yay Edd’s back, take it to bits take it to bits 😂👍🏻
Loving watching Edd again! Although I wonder how much of what he said were his own opinions over just reading a script?
Nice to see you here also Edd
You're the best buddy 😊👍
Good review Edd. We need to see you back on TV mate. WD going down the US gurgler has left a gap that needs plugged. Car SOS has picked up the slack but there is still room.
This guys a brilliant reviewer. I don't know how i even got here but i ended up watching other reviews he done lol.
Well done What car you have bagged a star Great to see Ed back and a great review
Nice to See You Edd.Greetings from Berlin Germany. Keep it up👍👋
Something good to add is how the vans fair in terms of theft. I have heard some horror stories of brand new vans only taking minutes to break into. Great review Edd will definitely watch more.
Any van with inside door release handle can be open in under a minute with a drill and high quality bit to drill through the plate.
Great review Ed, cheers!
Happy to see Edd!
Ed China great to see you on TV again
Edd is full of knowledge about cars... Let him review some cars..... He's a legend.... Humble guy....
Yay Ed's back. Sweet
thank for edd china pls can you take more video with edd china
Great review Edd, can you do one on the Transporter T6 please..
Nice to see ed again
Good to see Edd again
Can you please add tow weights to suv's, 4x4 and vans.
I've not had a new Crafter yet, but I got a new sprinter with 19 miles on the clock. By 700 miles, it was fucked. Serious loss of power (40mph max) and heavy vibration. Don't know the exact cause, but defo either clutch or gearbox issues. It got replaced with a brand new VW Transporter. What a fantastic little van. Superb to drive and made a good noise. It was like a little angry jack russell 😃
The past: I could watch Ed China review a bus and I would watch it.
And here we are , keeping are word and watching Ed China review a bus.
He’s back ❤️🚀
LWB, 4motion, Super High Roof = perfect vanlife conversion
Hi Edd; Good review - i've watched all or most of your earlier van reviews and reckon they're all great. One other van I'd like to see you review is the Toyota Hi-Ace (unless you have already and i'm just too dopey to have found it)!
As an engineer & inventor I thought you'd introduce some thoughts & facts about the van I wouldn't find in the dealers brochure. 🙁
Glad to see edd back! Question tho would vw consider building a Crafter 6 or 8 seater mpv swb, modern mpvs are to cramped, ceilings to low and the transporter is too tight for the driver . I'm 6 foot 4 and my knees are wedged up against the dash.
Very enjoyable review Ed. Any chance of reviewing the latest Transit? My own experience of driving both vans empty was that the Transit was more compliant over bumps and had lower noise levels; in the Crafter the bulkhead seems to "ring". I agree with you that the Crafter's steering is better weighted. Obviously the Crafter, like the Sprinter, does have more kudos which is important to us motorhome converters! Looking forward to hearing your views.
Good to see Edd 👍🏿
Who would you trust to give an honest opinion on a motor...China or Brewer, I know who I'd trust. Nice to see you Edd, enjoyed the review...more please!
Edd is the best car mechanic / expert! ☺
Edd, it's great to see you back on the interweb, but I'd rather you were fetteling and upgrading motors. Any road up, good to see you back.
Such a lovely guy, I'd love to have a beer with him and discuss cars.
You've gotta love Edd China
hi ED. how good are you on 2.5 TDI vw failing to respond after junction / island / traffic idling .
Top bloke he is up there with the best presenters and would have been great on Top Gear..
Edd please answer the question...which is better in a van, fwd or rwd. Not only dynamically because I would pick rwd all day long but mechanically as well. Thx.
Great to see you back near car's. You should start car reviews full time!
Thanks Ed for this down to earth honest personable information on vans which I am using as a reference to make choices.
Before I watched this I wasted an hour watching the “new” and not now very good Top Gear because I thought the program was showing a tribute to Sabine Schmitt.
It made me realise how much better Ed China would be at presenting compared to the current Top Gear lot.
Great review , I had this same model on hire , would agree with most of it however I found fuel consumption very disappointing compared to its rivals.
Cheers Ed, I’m an 18 year old T4 driver, van not me. Been driving a brand new transit this week which has got me thinking of a new van. Would be great to see a review in the T6 and T6 electric.
Which model gets air con as standard
I just bought an Audi Q7 3 litre which cost me £51500 - I can't believe the same company sells a van for £52100!
Black wheels... is that the new trend on vans too? Nice to see you Edd!
Mr China is back. Instant sub
Finally a car big enough for Edd😃
Do they do these in white Edd?
We have the MAN equivalent of this at work. Absolutely fantastic van. Good power, comfortable as a car and the 8-speed auto box is a gem. Far cry from a smiley-front Transit or a Talbot Express
great job Ed.
Also Transit is available fwd, rwd and awd.
Lovely jubbly, nice one Ed.
Hey Edd, may I ask how big you are? I noticed you couldn't stand full upright inside of the van. Makes me wonder ....
Transit is also available with front, rear and all-wheel drive.
yes Ed is back
Nice video Ed.
It doesn't matter what vehicle edd drives, the steering wheel and controls always look tiny! Not in the market for a van I only rent one from time to time, but these reviews are great.
What are the differences to the MAN TGE? Isn't that the same van?
Could you do a review on the new Renault??
i hope the running ones come without a lit chek engine light.
Edd China you are the Best.
I know diddly squat about vans, just glad Edd is back
Definitely youre the best mate!!
i enjoy listening to this wizard on car mechanics, are we going to see more of Ed on this channel?
Edit: I see he's done a Merc Sprinter one too, keep them coming, let him do wacky stuff :D
How far away is that steering wheel? You're not that tall are you Ed? ;-)
I'm so jealous of Eds hair
Anyone know where this was filmed? The views around look lovely. Maybe those two tower blocks in the distance are a landmark?
From the satnav Oxfordshire or possibly Bucks
Don't even need a van but the Crafter is the best looking van I've ever seen and want one just because of that 😂😂
this is very well done good work china
The Crafter also comes with LED Headlights
We have fourty vans in the fleet at work. The Crafter is by far and away the one that breaks down the most. If I had the choice I would not get one.
Be thankful that the firm didn't buy the VW Sprinters!
