    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @NickElliottuk

    I hope i will get to see loads of more stuff like this from you.

Thank you teacher.

    @danpriestman8164 7 лет назад

    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.

  • @joshuahussey7623
    @joshuahussey7623 7 лет назад +4

    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!

  • @nicolashoyt5341
    @nicolashoyt5341 7 лет назад

    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.

    @jamesm6413 7 лет назад +48

    • @jeffpayne4697
      @jeffpayne4697 7 лет назад +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 7 лет назад +2

    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 7 лет назад +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.

    Can I just say a bit thanks to the Mintex PR team, they don’t ram the advertising down your throat like so many sponsors and yet two years on I can still remember who the sponsor is and they have become my brake pads of choice. Very subtle & very well done.

  • @gazjonze
    @gazjonze 7 лет назад +38

    Edd is extremely competent and thorough, anyone who has worked for a main stealer will tell you they don't go anywhere near the amount of time, care or expertise exhibited by Edd. Virtually all nuts and bolts get buzzed, nothing gets greased. Techies are instructed to work in this manner by the service manager, who in turn is told by the area manager to do it this way. The franchises make the mechanics have their torque wrenches calibrated so that they have a nice little certificate as a way of a disclaimer in case a buzzed bolt shears and the worst happens. It's all time, and in the world of main dealer garages, time is money. The dealer I worked for charged £85 + vat for labour, and paid the mechanics (who had to buy their own tools at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds) £8.50 per hour. Where possible, do not use main dealers, use a reputable independent garage. You get better service and pay half the labour price.

    • @carlosedwardos
      @carlosedwardos 7 лет назад +1

      I worked as a master technician for several main dealers, and they knew I was good by reputation, and I always negotiated a pay rate of 1/3 the shop labor rate per FLAG HOUR, so in your example that pay rate would be £28.33/hour - and because it is per flag hour, I could easily make £50/hour by beating the book specified time for each job.

    • @gazjonze
      @gazjonze 7 лет назад

      burrito rustler I would like to know which dealer that was, and also when it was, as most main sealers would tell you where to go if you tried to get more money out of them, as there's no shortage of technicians... I'm going to hazard a guess and say you were a Vauxhall techie?

    • @carlosedwardos
      @carlosedwardos 7 лет назад

      this was in the states, and it is ANY dealership I work for - I am good at what I do, and if your dealership wants me, the price is 1/3 of shop labor rate per flag hour, and it's NOT negotiable.

    • @TakuroSpirit77
      @TakuroSpirit77 7 лет назад

      When it comes to brakes an other low skill jobs they have to do a quick and dirty job because they have to remain competitive with the small shops using inferior parts, tools, and training. Everyone wants to be a cheap ass these days and wants to get what they assume is the best deal for the money, when in reality they don't care what kind of job gets done to their car, so long as their wallet isn't much lighter than it was going in.

    • @bikecommuter24
      @bikecommuter24 7 лет назад

      When I lived near Ipswich I used to go to a little shop in a town I think it was Felixstowe? the older gentleman was a Brilliant Mechanic and he never over charged me even if I was a young yank at the time, he always did my MOT and told me upfront if I needed to fix something before it went bad.
      I can do a lot of the mechanical things myself but I did not have access to a working space I had a one room flat even my Mini would not fit in there.
