After Ed left, promised myself I'd never watch this programme again. And I won't.. Ant seems like a good guy but not an Ed.. Brewer still portly and annoying as always.
Come on guys, move on. This ain't as bad as I thought it'd be without Ed, it's actually good and I'd watch it. Give this new guy a break, he's actually pretty good and both are probably having a tough time trying to make this work with such negativity.
Ant messed up and put R134a in the A/C. Wasn’t available until early 90’s, should have been R12 unless he converted the system which wasn’t said on the show?
Hi, where is the second part of the video ? Very interesting for me cos have and spider like this... Can you send me more links to Alfa Spider vídeos repair ? Thanks a lot in advance
A good drinking game..... singles every time Brewer says ‘I’ or ‘me’! Doubles every time he uses them in the incorrectly! Difficult to get to the first ad break!
I have just watched this on SKY TV and although I have respect for Ant I was appalled at what wasn't mentioned or done to this 30+ years old Alfa! I would have expected a FULL major service to start with, including replacing rubber hoses along with various metal clips and the engine bay degreased and cleaned. This in itself would improve the look of the engine and bay. When replacing the Soft Top I noticed formations of "Rust" on the framework. The new top was put in place with total disregard to said rust! This is unacceptable. Virtually nothing was shown of the condition of the interior and the bonnet/hood Alfa badge needed replacing as it was very faded. Plus a little thing that NEVER gets a mention are the main wiper arms. Do you just leave All of them in a faded condition? I can understand why Edd China chose to leave WD! Ant, do yourself a favour, don't renew your contract if these "shortcuts" are expected of you. Your a better person than this! Would I buy a car from Mike Brewer? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!
Very predictable: Comedy hand over of the car, broom in hand - Check Macho display of strength - Hood/Bonnet lifted off - Check Time saving voice over on technical sections - Check Irrelevant background stories of the buyer/seller - Check Used to love watching this show, but things have moved on. There's no shortage of how to technical videos online these days. So it's focusing more on the presenters and the more l see Mike the less I like him. They should stop making these shows.
Sick of these people complaining about the new WD, why bother to comment? It is what it is just don't watch it simple as that, Edd's got a new program so no big deal.
This new guy is not bad, I don't know how much of his knowledge is staged but anyway he sure can act which makes the show pleasant to watch. I think they couldn't have find better replacement.
I have the outmost respect for Ant, but this concept dos not work. He was fantastic on "For the love of cars" But the combination of him and Brewer is a failure.
RSimusic I didn't contest the fact that it didn't work. I worked well, but the tools are the things that need taking care of as you need them to do the job they are meant for. All the best! Cristian
Fixing the differential is really difficult. You need a lot of experience. Fixing it without driving it before? I had a lot of cars like this. In this car, the differential is good. He just should change the oil. There are more parts that are weak. Engine mounts and gearbox mounts for exemple.
Thought I’d have a look after Edd had gone. Just curious. Ant seems a nice bloke by I don’t like his manner or the way he explains things. Not as easy to follow as Edd. Seems the segments when showing how to do something are briefer. And I just liked the way Edd spoke, a bit foppish but easy to listen too, and the way he went about his work. Don’t like this.
Ant is 100 percent better mechanic than china .also brewer I know you havnt got a clue about cars but every car on this planet rust. It depends how you look after it
Sold out to an American audience and forgot about us Brits. As soon as Mike got to the states you knew this was going to happen. Chase the money and forget about the shows originality. Half of the 'work' is skipped now. Used to love seeing how to do jobs but seems like Mike and Ant want quick fixes. Edd used to rip out dashes on screen and do interiors, now we just have to make do with the finished product. SELL OUT!
Funny to read all these comments below. Sure the new wrench is a nice guy and good at what he does. Edd China made the show. Not watching without him. It would be like watching Top Gear without the Holy Trinity.
All around the new guy is okay-ish, bit too much manicured for car work but I guess they want to extend their appeal to young girls and gays and there is nothing wrong with that. However the added bits of explanation for idiots really put it down and the end result feels like just-another-wheeler-dealers-copycat-programe. Quite like Topgear post Clarkson, Hammond and May.
There is no Top Gear post Clarkson, Hammond and May. If they wanted to bring Top Gear over here, bring the original boys over or don't call it Top Gear.
WD without EDD is death for me...
I do miss Ed but Ant is outstanding as well!
China didn't have a clue compared to ant he leaves him in his dust
Won't watch it without Edd sorry
Too harsh. Still a decent show.
ed was a humble man, wont watch this without him
Is this program still running? I heard very few people are watching. Dump the salesman who thinks he is a mechanic and bring back Edd.
I can’t believe these are the hands of a mechanic!
After Ed left, promised myself I'd never watch this programme again. And I won't.. Ant seems like a good guy but not an Ed..
Brewer still portly and annoying as always.
Takes one to know one arse wipe
Is he fatter (brewer)?
montgoman Montgoman do you take it up the dirt box then . Just thought because you seem to used Arse wipes Gus.
Come on guys, move on. This ain't as bad as I thought it'd be without Ed, it's actually good and I'd watch it. Give this new guy a break, he's actually pretty good and both are probably having a tough time trying to make this work with such negativity.
Where'd the new parts come from for the spider?
Any advice on repairing Alfa 147 2.0T spark sunroof and window controls on driver side?
Ant messed up and put R134a in the A/C. Wasn’t available until early 90’s, should have been R12 unless he converted the system which wasn’t said on the show?
I actually like Ant.... We need Edd and Ant running the show. We could do without Mike. That would be a great show.
The show's charisma left when Ed left.
Why is Griff Rhys-Jones fixing cars?
Hi, where is the second part of the video ?
Very interesting for me cos have and spider like this...
Can you send me more links to Alfa Spider vídeos repair ?
Thanks a lot in advance
It's just so hard to beat the original
A real technician who loves his job never makes negative comments about the cars and if so let me know where the british car industry is today......
when is this coming on quest ?
A good drinking game..... singles every time Brewer says ‘I’ or ‘me’! Doubles every time he uses them in the incorrectly! Difficult to get to the first ad break!
Without Edd you may as well get a job at Avis.

It's not a restoration. That's for the new owner - one can only justify doing the work needed to safely sell the car on.
we want edd
Very predictable:
Comedy hand over of the car, broom in hand - Check
Macho display of strength - Hood/Bonnet lifted off - Check
Time saving voice over on technical sections - Check
Irrelevant background stories of the buyer/seller - Check
Used to love watching this show, but things have moved on. There's no shortage of how to technical videos online these days. So it's focusing more on the presenters and the more l see Mike the less I like him.
They should stop making these shows.
The fuel injection was only ment to meet California emission rules,in fact it runs far better and faster on 2 double dell ortos or Webers.
Nie ma Eda, nie ma oglądania.
"dont come anywhere near the workshop with an alfa romeo"... yea because the car will go full rust once he sees these two
Just “a subtle application of the mallet” my ass....
Sick of these people complaining about the new WD, why bother to comment? It is what it is just don't watch it simple as that, Edd's got a new program so no big deal.
Watched Edds first ep new show. yesterday. Great. Subscribed immediately and requested notifications.
This new guy is not bad, I don't know how much of his knowledge is staged but anyway he sure can act which makes the show pleasant to watch. I think they couldn't have find better replacement.
DimitriTheSaint Ant knows his shit,he used to do for the love of cars on channel 4.however mike is a fat fuckin twat who burnt ed,who made the show
That's good that he knows what he is doing and not staged. I agree about Brewer, never liked him, I guess salesmen watching this show must love him
Had not seen the hard top before???Come on!They are very common and any car guy surely knows this one.
Not very common on an Alfa Romeo Spider. It was an expensive optional extra.
Yep that's it.
Ant sounds like he's talking to a ten-year-old. Irritating.
I have the outmost respect for Ant, but this concept dos not work.
He was fantastic on "For the love of cars"
But the combination of him and Brewer is a failure.
Hory crap :)) he used the end of the wrench to take the torsion bar off the bolt. Edd would never do that...
nit picky mate
it worked did it not
RSimusic I didn't contest the fact that it didn't work. I worked well, but the tools are the things that need taking care of as you need them to do the job they are meant for. All the best!
Cristian
Cristian Mares You’re not wrong but you sound like zero fun at parties
:))))

I know Mike and Edd were a good team but lets give this new team a chance.
.Bring Mastermilo to this Show ,and you won't believe what he makes off a car like that.
They should boot Mike and let Ed and Ant do the show,
Thought I’d have a look after Edd had gone. Just curious. Ant seems a nice bloke by I don’t like his manner or the way he explains things. Not as easy to follow as Edd.

That bodykit..... 🤮
EDD China wah here
Without Ed this show is fucking pointless. Shoulda paid him what he wanted.
You bastards, stopping it there? Turned to shit, just as many thought it would!
Get rid of mike and it will improve the shows handling a lot !
Ant is 100 percent better mechanic than china .also brewer I know you havnt got a clue about cars but every car on this planet rust. It depends how you look after it
Wow! I read the comments below - never saw so much whining!
Edd
A bit like flop gear after the team left.r.i.p wheeler dealers,good while it lasted
I like this mechanic aswell but its not the same without Edd
We want Edd back
This show is sad but don't fear Mr China is back !!!!!
Sold out to an American audience and forgot about us Brits. As soon as Mike got to the states you knew this was going to happen. Chase the money and forget about the shows originality.

0:33 isn't that rust ?????????????????/
What a strange thing...
Where's Edd/the show?
Edd was Wheeler Dealers and now i can not enjoy the program
Not the same without Edd!.
That Ant Antstead is a god awful presenter!
c.e. s and he's an ex copper too , the prick .
so what happened Edd China
For how long have you been sleeping?
He did not like the new concept (US type) and left the show.
I miss Ed
Amazing video photo. Anyone watching edd China?
Edd was making "trans" jokes on set in California. This means blacklisting from Hollywood...
Big fan of the show an yes miss edd
Bring Edd back!!
Too many pies Brewer!
dont talk crap about edd again
Dreadful. Where is proper WD?
All around the new guy is okay-ish, bit too much manicured for car work but I guess they want to extend their appeal to young girls and gays and there is nothing wrong with that.

There is no Top Gear post Clarkson, Hammond and May. If they wanted to bring Top Gear over here, bring the original boys over or don't call it Top Gear.
Well they (Amazon) brought the original boys, called it Grand Tour and no one minded. (Mind you, I think that some magic has been lost in the process)
edd
