- In this episode, I work with my mate Neil Burgess upgrading the suspension on his 2007 BMW Mini Cooper S rally car. As a former class champion of the British Rally Championship Neil is no stranger to rallying

Whether working on a Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius or a Tesla, the HV Battery or High Voltage battery is designed to be safe but it can affect how other systems work in the vehicle and it is always better to be safe than sorry. Doing an eMobility course at Bosch Automotive Aftermarket which results in an IMI training qualification could help keep you safe and help your (insulated) spannering career too.
China relishes the upcoming project, which invites viewers into his personal workshop facility in Buckinghamshire.
“I’m really excited to finally be able to bring this project to our fans as it is something they repeatedly have been asking for,” said China. “Workshop Diaries will let viewers really get stuck into the project and the detail of the fixes, and also provide a platform for instant feedback and interaction. It’s an exciting prospect and it’s great to finally get going!”

Can I just say, there are whole parts of the video without background music and I'm absolutely loving that!
A drop of music in the boring bits, or speeded-up parts, like when the subframe was being painted is all you need.
@@neilbarnett3046 Every so often there should be a burst of the old song "A nice cup of tea". Like "At a quarter past eleven, well my idea of heaven is a nice cup of tea" :-)
yes the BBC F UP GARDENERS WORLD WITH THERE MUSIC thankfully edd dont
Two blokes tinkering with cars while talking about them, such a simple yet highly entertaining concept!
Love this series Edd, do keep it up for us fans!
I know, right? I bet he has a wonderful team behind him, but this show it's miles ahead of similar YT shows. The product placement is not in your face, it has variety, tips and tricks and so on. It took some time to get back, but Edd delivers and he does it with a bang.
@@Sindarul Exactly. Two blokes tinkering with cars over a cup of tea. A1 homoerotic content!
Edd and Neil, two really watchable guys....well done.
I could not agree more. Great chemistry and a nice adult car show versus the young kids with their flash and fast editing.
I agree, and must say Neil is such a pleasant person to watch wit Edd. hope he does well in the rally circuit
This show is a stark contrast to other car culture channels on TH-cam, that seem to be yelling at you to like, share and buy merch. Full of hype, over the top drama and just willing to show you an end product without getting into the nuts and bolts of a rebuild and its challenges. This channel and Bad Obsession Motorsport. The only two places you really cant wait for content. And Edds channel with high production levels, no camera wobble, or any such things with the camera work. It just soothes the soul. Always.
Amen to that!!!
The thing that bugs me is the amount of product placement going on. Edd has even blurred out tools in the past just to keep sponsorship deals in a healthy state. Disgusting, dishonest behaviour in my opinion. Having said that, these videos are very easy to watch, it just really infuriates me when I see it.
ASMR car mechanics
@@XtrmJosh You could always support the channel financially, then wouldn't need ads.
@@XtrmJosh its almost like hiring a full team to film, light, edit etc is expensive and needs funding....
"Are you alright?"
"well we're the right way up" 😂😂
Brilliant
so they do all this work so he can smash it up makes sense
@@terryl9643, they’re doing all this work so that he’s less likely to smash it up. 😉. Racing on standard suspension is a little dicey.
A crest to an old mini is like a full on jump 😅
SO GOOD TO SEE THE TRUE WHEELER DEALERS MECHANIC BACK IN ACTION, WHO EXSPLAINS THE REPAIRS SO WELL
agree with you on that 100%
I like that you don't cut out the parts where you struggle to remove parts. So many shows do that to,save time. You learn so much watching someone else struggle with this.
I love how happy and chilled out Edd seems these days. Great work, buddy.
If only the strut pinch bolts on my R53 MCS had come out so easily! Snapped like carrots! That Milwaukee rattle gun is impressive.
@Arcadia Economics Please explain the relevance of this bollocks on a channel like this?
@@huwjones5879 not me, obviously. It was a fake account and I have now blocked them.
@@eddchina Cheers Edd, I knew it wasn't you obviously. Keep up the good work, the last episode was the best so far (and not just because it was a BMW MINI ;)) the balence between workshop action and chat was bang on. I would ask the editor to just dip the sound of the grinder and rattle gun in the edit though.
This has become an essential friday evening watch, it's like being a kid again waiting for your favourite TV show. Great stuff, please keep it coming.
This and Acorn to Arabella. Nice friday treats.
Friday lunch watch for me!
True, Friday night in Denmark with a cold beer and some quiet time
It's so well made
@@tomf3150 I might try that too
I suffer from OCD and watching Ed over the years has helped calm me because he goes into detail about things and deals with all the problems. I tend to obsess and catastrophise most things, but videos like this calm me because it illustrates how everything can be fixed. This video is excellent for someone like me. Cheers
Someone once told me that everything can be fixed. It just depends how far you want to go!
When you run a classic car, you find that parts that aren’t supposed to be serviceable can actually be serviced! Channels like Edd’s certainly help with building confidence with those kind of situations.
This channel and other restoration channels shows me how much I dislike background music, there's something so soothing about watching someone work with tools
There are plenty of car channels with catch thumbnails and click bait titles, many claim to have "just got my dream car", and 4 months later "why I decided to sell my dream car". Others used to show builds and now focus on hype and mixed content, thank you for throwing some cold water on that dumpster fire and having a relaxing calm car show.
Best car show anywhere 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I like Neil's understated manner. He makes a good team with Edd.
Hands down one of the best episodes. Cheers to Neil and Ed, looking forward to more episodes together.
I've just spent 40+ minutes watching two men perform bunch of work that I will never have to do in my lifetime and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Edd, (my favorite TH-cam presenter), and good luck Neil in your much improved Mini
Wake up Saturday morning here in Australia to find another Edd China episode!!
Woo hoo..... cup of coffee and watch yet another entertaining episode.
Cheers from Sydney Australia
🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇬🇧🇬🇧
Same ! Here in Canberra
Painting the lead bars gold in a Mini for the Italian Job aesthetic. Perfect! The Self Preservation Society lives on.
If Edd was a teacher at my school I would have gone every day including weekends.
Now that’s a proper demonstration of how to do a complicated job. Every part shown not just a 2 min clip like wheeler dealers does these days. Brilliant video.
Sooooo good to see you putting out these quality videos Edd. I cant believe how much I used to pay for cable for 17 minutes of watered down mini clips with endless obnoxious commercials. This is pure wrenching gold. There's no doubt that you tube will destroy this format eventually. But until then I'm grinning from ear to ear buddy.
It's just impossible to back, isn't it? I don't know how those TV companies get it so wrong
Now my childhood is back, with higher resolution and more cool content......
I saw the 44 minute run time and to be honest I was like "blimey this is a bit long", but the time passed so quickly proving this is great content.
Really enjoyable episode watching Edd and Neil at work.
I had to laugh at the video clip of Neil in a rally at 24:43 when he was asked by the co driver if he was ok after nearly going nose first into the crest and dip, and Neil's reply was "well we are the right way up"
44 minutes sure as hell went past quickly. I could watch this day in day out. Great episode Edd! Thank you very much!
Wow, 44 minutes just flew by, I could keep watching it until you reassemble everything but all good things come to an end I guess. See you next Friday!
It’s great to watch a car channel we’re there don’t edit out the issues. Real life.
Its amazing what editing can do. On Wheeler Dealers dropping a subframe looked like a 5 min job.
@Edd China Yea this aint the real Edd, jog on.
@@stephencooper3067 very perceptive, thank you! I’ve now blocked that cloned account. 👍
So happy to see Ed back in his natural element! Love this new show. Just two guys working and talking about the car they are working on. It does not get any better than that.
The only part I don’t like about these videos is that they end!! My weeks have been going by so quickly in anticipation for Friday’s episode with Edd!! Well done so far!!
Edd: " I think we can get away with..."
BMW: "lol, nope!"
I had to replace stabiliser bushings with out taking a whole subframe out... I've done it but i bet it would be faster taking whole subrame out...
The rust removal and satin black gave me such joy. Same approach that Robin Mullet and Bruce Cornfield did so many years ago at a small British car garage in Victoria BC.
Fine Work Guys. It's always super satisfying to re-close that 'Can of Worms' as we work/repair our cars.
"and maybe a nice coat of satin black?" ahh classic Ed.
Stone chip lol
I’m actually glad you went on your own especially with Paul now you can spread your wings and show the Viewers all the things that you love doing Because I think there’s so much more you can show people
This is how a car show should be lots of actual working on the car bit by bit. No editing to the extent I takes minutes well done Edd we Needed this
Great suff!!!! Thanks Edd & Neil.
Mr China, on this video and ALL your videos.... (wheeler dealers included)
Such a pleasure to watch you work!
Usually I'm not a fan of product placement. However, I'm v.happy with the endorsements presented on Edd's channel. They're introduced as being useful for a specific application, production values are excellent, endorsements aren't in your face & the items are of high quality. Edd & team; thanks for some of the best content on TH-cam. 🙏
I really enjoyed that, reminded me of the early series of Wheeler Dealers, when it was more about the instructional side of doing the fixes. Keep them coming :-)
Here’s a “sort of” funny fact for you.
I used to work at Plant Oxford. Like most car manufacturers, the engine and gearbox are assembled on one line, whilst the subframe and suspension where assembled on another. Then the two were married together.
The subframe was the first part to be loaded on the platten (mobile jig) and, due to the weight, the associate (one man) was supposed to use a handling devise. But he found it quicker the manually lift and load all by himself. Imagine doing that 900 times in one shift 😮
Im really glad you took the time to refurb. Help yourself now so you don't have to later! Loved this episode!
That was a fun show to watch. You should bring Neal in once in a while. You two work well together. Thanks!
Two legends working together makes for a great team.
I thank you Ed for coming back with areal motor show not the joke you left.
What's so great about this channel is there's no showbiz BS. It's just Edd doing his thing.
So nice to see you doing what you do best edd and explain in detail not rushed by a car dealer lol 😆
Have to say, thoroughly enjoyed this one. Didn't at all expect such a new car would have this level of rust lurking underneath but hey, I guess now we know what to look for when buying a Mini and how to repair one if we've got a lemon on our hands. Keep up the good work Edd and Neil, this is top notch stuff.
BMW tried to add some original features of the 'proper' Mini, rusty subframes, gotta love them....
It's not that new, it's a 2007 car, a very early R56.
Thanks Edd and all the staff, hello from Honduras 👍🚚
Each program is enjoyable just from the start, without people shouting, cheezy music or cheap visual effects. Loving the show....
This is why I like watching car mechanic shows, informative, entertaining and no bullsh&t drama. keep it up Edd, love listening to you explain things.
By far best Ed yet and one of my favourites in the 11 episodes. Fantastic seeing Ed into the oily bits for 44 minutes. Great work want some more please.
So happy to be able to see Edd at work again in these videos. I’ve been watching him on the television since he was a youngster working in a bay not much wider than the car he was fixing. I’ve really missed his humor and practical solutions in fixing autos. Much success, Edd, in this chapter of your life. Cheers from Florida.
Love honesty showing what it's like working on cars. "I'll just fit these coilovers and 2 new bushes" - 3 days later and the entire from suspension set up is in pieces on the bench.
Since watching you on Wheeler Dealers, (gutted you left) this give me the confidence to start working on my BMW, done everything from full brake rebuild to clutch and flywheel gearbox swap to full suspension replace, so glad to see you back.
Edd, great program, no silly stuff, just informative information and serious mechanics, brilliant
This is a comment, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Just put it here because it might help Edd & Neil in the fight against the mighty algorithm :-) The format works! It's always fun to se improvisation and the exploration that has to happen when you work on a "new" car that you've not worked on before. Greetings and salutations from Norway!
As having more Days behind me then ahead of me, It’s Truly a GREAT Feeling to look forward to a certain Day of the week for thee BEST show on any PLATFORM. Hello from the little State of Delaware USA. Thank you EDD.
It's so good to see Edd doing his own thing and focusing on the stuff we all want to see...the car work! Top notch production work too. And thank you for not drowning out Edd's comments with music.
minis of this era, super fun to drive, nightmare to work on.
Another one! I need to get caught up. Thanks for putting so many of these out.
The start of a true journey, great tour of suspension systems
The 43 minutes flew by. Great viewing material. We all need a mate like Edd!
What I’ve always loved about your videos even going back to Wheeler Dealers, is that you do jobs that most people could or would do to fix their vehicle or do minor upgrades. Most of the shows in the US are focused on things a racer would do to their cars like blowers and nitrous. While interesting, it’s not something I would be doing to my daily driver.
I think everyone has a stash of Gu ramekins, because you’ll never know when they’ll come in handy!
Reminds me of having to drop the front subframe to replace the oil pan gasket on my old 325i. Total Rube Goldberg engineering.
It's not designed to last long enough to need a new oil pan gasket!
@@cme2cau pretty much haha!
Thanks. As usual great content and an interesting and informative on the job chat with Neil👌
24.30 “Caution crest and bump”……………”Well, we’re the right way up!” Slight understatement 👍😂
Christ! I felt that rally impact through the monitor!
Great to have you back Edd China
super to see edd back on film working top guy .
Every episode has better and better production. Great job
This is so watchable it's therapeutic, thanks Edd, look forward to the next one.😁👍
I know absolutely nothing about cars but this show is just so watchable. Love it!
The variety on this show is excellent. Neil was a great addition to this episode👍🏻🔧
Those ear defender/safety goggle combos are a work of genius!
This really is a much watch series. As usual with Edd he's such a natural in front of the camera and nothing feels scripted unlike Ant Anstead on WD where, as good a mechanic as he is, every word out of his mouth felt scripted which is why Edd was such a sad loss to all of us WD fans, But he's back now so woohoo.
I love the small details of this show and especially the camera angles are on point! You know what I mean.. the bread crumbs on the bottom of the toaster kind of details! Edd is a legend.
The filming and editing is much more professional this episode. Good progress = well done!
Awesome! Just like the old days!
Edd , I was on vacation did not have wifi so I couldn't watch ur show. Home now so excited back
watching ur show. Thank for showing demonstrate the Milwaukee impact! Keep them coming I like the long shows
Rally suspicion for a Mini a la Beverian... Okay then. Imagine in this modern day and age of information; Edd's is the only car channel (with nearly a million subs) who is actually sharing said info. No script, no manufactured drama, or hyperbolic bovine scatology, just real conversation between two friendly blokes who aren't trying to sell me something. How refreshing.
Nice to see 'oldskool' experienced guys doing things properly for safety rather than 'likes'. The experience between Edd and Neil must be immense
Edd and Neil - you’ve inspired me to go back to rallying (after a 25 year break) I’ve got a MINI Paceman JCW and I’m also going to aim to compete in the Hertfordshire Rally. Keep the good hints coming, especially if they are transferable to my bigger boy. Really good watch, great banter and lots of tea. Who needs background music? You have (IMO) gone some way to filling a gap in the market that was left by the departure of Car and Car Conversions and RallySport magazine. All you need now is some ‘on event’ coverage.
That's great - looking forward to seeing it 😃
The channel that keeps giving. Don't know why, I find Ed's presentation method relaxing, a bit like watching Bob Ross! . Best episode, for me, so far, nicely paced, nuts and bolts strip down, no gimmicks. Neil, the "new guy" ;) fitted in well in the the garage.
Edd China... You are the BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST.
🤣 that rally incident. Lucky you kept your foot in it, dragged you out. The co-drivers reaction was brilliant also. She sounds on edge anyway. Great stuff 👍🏼
Absolutely love the show! It keeps me motivated with my own cars :)
A small bit of constructive criticism - the audio is quite loud during power tools and the rally clip, so I should look into normalising it a bit more. As of now, I lower the volume every time the impact gun comes out :)
For us mechanics worldwide, that's pure symphony. 😄
true
A proper job and it is nice to hear comments clearly without background "musak" My first time with this programme but not the last. Edd is very watchable.
"Well, we're the right way up". That's my new response to, 'are you alright?'.
should have T-Shirts with it on - I'd buy one
A really great interesting video from 2 people who more than know their stuff. I am just a wee bit jealous as I own a 2007 Mini Cooper, but all I could make happen right now is the cups of tea, lol.
this was a truly great episode, I really enjoyed it. thanks Edd
18:05 thats milk with tea xD
Great job with suspension! It was nice to hear Neil's experiences about Rally at the same time when working!
Edd I love your attention to detail. Sometimes us the viewers really are curious about those small nagging items that need repair and how its done. Keep up the good work my friend. If you ever visit Alaska in the USA I have a project or two you would enjoy and I can show you around.
That tape trick is something I'll definitely keep in mind. Thanks 👍👍
It is so satisfying and relaxing watching Edd working and speaking. I really enjoy watching these episodes
We really missed you. Welcome again.
"I'm forming a cunning plan"... famous last words
Wether it be rotten out Range Rovers, crazy oranges or rally spec Mini's, I could watch Edd and his mates mess with cars all day. Better yet imagine a rally colab with Bad Obsession Motorsport 👍
