    One of the great testimonies to Edd's show is its ability to make half an hour seem like 10 minutes.

    Hi Ed, loving the fact that you have the opportunity to show the issues that you run into in more detail on this channel rather than the sanitised version for TV.

    Ed it's such a pleasure to watch how you work, and with all the right tools for the job, and of course the excellent work ethic you possess, I still miss wheeler Dealers as you and Mike Brewer made a great team, but still watching you work was the main part of the show, not to mention all we learn from watching, thank's for continuing on, love your show!

    • @thewizzard3150

  • @_SR375_
    @_SR375_ 3 года назад +7

    Edd, I hope you see this, but this show of yours is 100000% better than that "other" show, I don't care about the dealing, but the commentary you provide, and your quirky vehicles are what makes this quasi(?) reboot really worthwhile. regardless, thank you for your efforts!

  • @Shane_Marsh
    @Shane_Marsh 3 года назад +1

    This reminds me of the first wheeler dealers when the whole show was just about what edd was doing to fix the car up. This new show is Edd at his best and the way he describes things is sublime.

    @MarkK01 3 года назад +1

    I love this new show with Edd China. I loved watching Edd on Wheeler Dealer and in my opinion Edd is what made that show so good. Mike was just the lazy money man. I will continue to follow Edd where ever he goes. Thank You Edd for another wonderful series.

  • @chemxfan
    @chemxfan 3 года назад +16

    There's lots of thinking & pre-planning going into this upgrade - not just throwing parts at the car & hoping for the best. Neil's car should do well once he & Edd are done making the improvements.

    I don't have a mini. I don't go rallying. I am not likely to upgrade the suspension on my 22 year old CRV. Why am I watching this with rapt attention? Well, it's Edd isn't it? 'nuf said... I'm so pleased Edd is back on RUclips making videos.

    Edd, I think it's brilliant that you're showing the bumps in the road. That is not to say you cannot effectively plan jobs out, but it shows how you're dealing with the work as it comes along the path to completion. Thanks for showing all the bits that go into this, it's fascinating.

    I am so glad that Edd used the word damper and not shock absorber, the springs are the shock absorbers and the dampers control the rate at which the springs (shock absorbers) recoil so everybody please stop calling them shock absorbers.

    @howestimothy7820 3 года назад

    I am so pleased to see you back. Simply a joy to watch, thank you! I wanted to make a comment about the Ansell HyFlex gloves. I bought a pair to do the front brakes on a 1968 Rover P5B. All went well but these gloves are not oil proof and certainly not brake and clutch cleaner proof. I tend to get dermatitis from brake fluid and realised I needed a pair of cheap nitrile gloves underneath to avoid contact dermatitis. It might be worth warning of this this and feeding back to Ansell. Otherwise they are very good. Certainly as a protective barrier aginst cuts and grazes they are brilliant. Also just a quick comment about spinning the oil pump on the rover V8 to prime it using an electric drill. I am a bit of a fan of the technique recommended in the Rover P5 workshop manual which is to fill the oil pump with petroleum jelly prior to start up. I do know that the oil pump on the Rover V8 has had several improvements since 1968 and it maybe that spinning with an electric drill is better on the later V8s but I thought the information might be useful. All the best!

    Edd when using Gearing clamps in a puller, place the cast part of the tool across your support plates (NOT the bolts).
    Doing this prevents the bolts from bending under the stress (granted you were not putting much stress on it doing those bushes).

    Nice work Edd, I enjoyed this episode very much. Especially as this week I’ve done this exact same bush replacement on my 2004 Mini Cooper S. To remove the lower suspension arms from the bushes I used a vice and a large pry bar, then to get the old bushes out of the carrier I bought a tool from eBay for £28, the knackered bushes slid out with no effort and the new poly replacements slid in using the same tool in reverse. I’m staying with factory suspension for the moment but looking forward to seeing the fitting of those lovely Ohlins to see what I might need to look out for if I decide to go the adjustable coil over route.
