    Yes I think that Ed should have his own show , he shows and explains the details that massages a gear heads brain, he is the best and main reason that the previous show saw so much success.

    Nice to see Edd showing folk how it's done properly here, anyone can throw brakes back together and make them work but these are the little details that make them work properly and stay working properly longer!

    Great to have the almighty Edd back. I've learned so much from you over the years!

    Edd, that looked like something out of Wheeler Dealers. Great video and absolutely spot on with the front brake disc & pad replacement. You don't need your own show with your YT channel.

  • @shockjockey5274
    @shockjockey5274 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @barrycuda1427 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Nice to see you back Edd. I have to do my brakes soon so I was pleased to see this video. I find myself in a situation where I have to do my own repair work when I am able. More videos like this or an entire show about auto maintenance/repair would be so welcome by me and I'm sure many, many others. The cars I had when I was young are so much different than they are now, I could use the help learning new methods. Well done.

  • @RADOMIRATA
    @RADOMIRATA 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the way to go Edd, do what you know best and you will have sucess. There are millions of us that want to do our own work on our cars, bikes, tractors... And that's how you help us.

    @NickElliottuk 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is brilliant. So good to see Edd actually using spanners again, and I learnt loads (despite the fact I've been doing my own brakes for years). More of this please!

  • @dartsadvice
    @dartsadvice 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a brilliant video, exactly what most people watched Wheeler Dealers for, the mechanical expertise. However, this is better than any Wheeler Dealer episode because of the clear documentary style, this sort of thing is needed as a television series, we all know that most people love cars, and that most men like to understand the mechanicals of cars. A series like this could be the biggest thing on television.

  • @hollensted
    @hollensted 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Wow! What an eyeopener, i have been doing so many things wrong for 20 years. Just ordered the same grease so i can avoid the problems i have experienced so many times. Awesome job Edd!

  • @cfcasazza

  • @danpriestman8164
    @danpriestman8164 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Edd China is the show, any show, he should be primetime everywhere. He has influenced me tremendously, and I would love to have him for a day! Have so many questions about the ls400 I bought, after seeing him work one... But having done brakes a hundred times, I've learned something every time I watch him do them! So happy that he still has a forum, but it will never be high enough for me! Love you Edd, haven't watched wheelers since you left.

  • @mrobles661
    @mrobles661 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The most thorough brake job I have ever seen. Been wrenching for over 10+ years. Actually learned something! Good work!

  • @barrywaddington3009
    @barrywaddington3009 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ed at his best. Your going into the detail that was missing from WD. We all tuned in just for you anyway and now you haven't got a TV studio restricting your airtime. Keep it up mate. Nice to see you on Project Binky recently too.

  • @marfrandema1884
    @marfrandema1884 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The amount of detail is astonishing! EDD. If our mechanic does a quarter of the job you've made to change the brakes i'll be impressed.
    It will be nice that for the end of the show, you'll do a before/after driving.

  • @whitestar0284

  • @mistermisanthrope6398
    @mistermisanthrope6398 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You're so good at how-to. That's what kind of show I enjoy watching. Not the before, and after crap with the characters being the main focus that Velocity pushes.

  • @BenHartshorne0991
    @BenHartshorne0991 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @rimmersbryggeri
    @rimmersbryggeri 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Great stuff EDD. Even the basic stuff needs to be shown properly and this was very well done. I'm going to school to be a mechanic now and you really do teach well, I'm ahead of the class by alot from watching you for years. Thanks.

    Mr China. You are like the beloved primary school teacher that you never forget and want to invite to your wedding. After studying you for years upon years on WD, you are solely responsible for inspiring me to have the confidence to attack the many mechanical repairs of my family and friends. Successfully. Thank you teacher.

    @2CabrasLocas 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    AWESOME TO SEE YOU BACK AT IT! Great instructional video, and GREAT to see you using a realistic garage. Not a spotless 10 million dollar studio garage like so many think viewers want to see.

  • @nicolashoyt5341
    @nicolashoyt5341 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to see someone putting out real quality educational videos for car repairs. So many guys out there are making these click bait style videos and offering little to no value in the content. Props for showing everything from shaking the wheel to check suspension and bearings to cleaning the pad slides.

    @donjohnson3701 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was watching Jay Leno’s garage and found Edd......then the lights went on...how about two real guys getting together...Jay and Edd. Jay with the classic cars and Edd with the mechanicals. I can’t help it but I think that the pair would be fantastic.

  • @Scrubworks
    @Scrubworks 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    This reminds me of the early days of Wheeler Dealers, when Edd actually got the chance to properly show how to perform basic repairs on a car. And this time we don't even have some cheesy royalty-free stock music in the background.

    I'd love to see more DIY videos from you Edd! This was enjoyable for me to watch. Heck when I was watching Wheeler Dealers I only watched the parts where you were working on the cars. Keep up the great work sir!

  • @DjMarik78
    @DjMarik78 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It is great to see you performing your magic again, Discovery lost dearly when they lost you, i cannot possibly immagine what are thinking of by not giving you yout own show, people love you, not wheeler dealers, not Mike, not some workshop here in Europe of there in the US, people love Edd China, as i do, they love the way you get the job done.
    I hope i will get to see loads of more stuff like this from you.
    All the best.

      @jeffpayne4697 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First 2Flight I just don't see much difference between the old WD and the new episodes besides Edd isn't there. Definitely didn't like the first episode of them doing the Ford Escort Cosworth. The adding the theoretical third wing was just ugly

    • @jasonhawkins4528
      @jasonhawkins4528 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yes edd was right new wheeler dealers has cut loads out, and too many breaks, after edd left rubbish now, workshop time cut to shreds

  • @malcolmlane-ley2044
    @malcolmlane-ley2044 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ed this is exactly what makes you great to watch. From years of watching WD a fan like me gradually feels they have got to know you and its the way you have improved and repaired cars that has given so much pleasure. As a car nut myself I can say I love the driving but the spannering and improving gives so much satisfaction. These generic videos are great but I think where you are most engaging is when there is a car project. We all know WD never recovered the cost of the hours worked but that wasn't the real point for me, it was the fixing and how you interacted with the audience that made great watching. I hope we will be able to enjoy more of you soon, in the meantime I have been following a guy in the USA called Elin Yakov and even though its slightly different, his skill and personality is also very engaging. You Tube is a great media channel to market , good luck .

  • @Martin_Speed
    @Martin_Speed 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks! This is the most comprehensive video on brakes I've seen. I liked how in depth you explained what each component does, how it should function and how to restore it's function for proper working brakes. Now I know how to restore the brakes on my Audi and please post more videos like this.
