This is why i like Edd, he gave credit to the camera man for the idea about using the jack to get better purchase on the bolt. What a nice guy he is, i love watching this guy fixing and repairing older vehicles. I would never purchase a range rover cos they are a bit crap but I do like seeing them being worked on . Thank you so much :)
Love how you go into detail, and show the work involved. It's not all about showing the "money shots" and et voila it's done. Save that for the America audience...Us Brits like the nitty gritty details, keeping it real...
Hate to break this to you, but most of the American audience also wants detail and explanation. Just because lazy producers decided to take the easy route doesn't mean the audience wanted that. I've been waiting years for Edd to return with his level of detail. That he now gets to do it his way, without being weighed down by the (apparently still) butthurt Mr. Brewer, makes it even better.
I'd say it's more the network that want the programme to appeal to more viewers not people who are really into cars. I'm not American but it's not the American fans fault.
As an old-school mechanic I really appreciate Edd's practical approach to problems instead of just throwing silly money at everything. Not everyone has $100K+ and immaculate workshops to throw at "barn finds" like some Yanks do on YT. Corrosion and busted screws always challenge, but pressure and torque win in the end.
Back in the days of Wheeler Dealers I loved the workshop bits where you were always explaining almost everything you would do. Of course each episode of wheeler dealers was 45 minutes in total, but 40 minutes of only wrenching on cars and a bit Q&A inbetween is all i ever wanted. Thanks Edd
Best episode so far. Loving the work on an old car, with day to day problems that we can all relate to and fixes that we can learn from too. Excellent.
Can't see why people are getting the arse over the mini stuff. It's an interesting project and as worthy of Edd's time as any other. He said at the start that this channel won't be focusing purely on one thing be it cars, bikes, boats, tractors or what have you. No reason for people to start complaining because they aren't interested in one particular project.
Too many You Tube Experts really want control of content- although I have thrown down my YT E card, I insist only on stating my opinion, freely and for free. I even admit I have been wrong once, maybe, possibly, could have been twice, but to go on; Edd is no "newbie" so I expect he will sort the chaff from the wheat and do as he thinks best, while trying to keep the nay sayers from realizing he has a perfectly constructed "shelf" to keep them on. FR
Yeah, the fake chemistry always got me. Even when brewer nipped off to his 'mate' who just happened to own a shop which just happened to specialise in repairing the most obscure object. That said, I picked up the odd bit of info from the English shows. A mate has a moggy traveller with the infamous rotten woodwork and I remembered Mike getting a full kit from a place in wales.
@@s1udgeguts Repost, but; so sue me; 'Edd! I fawt you was gonna 'ave this workin' loike a good 'un in ten minutes tops!? Whatcha bin messin wiv? Gawwww! I gotcha wheels danne at a wheel place wot me mate owns an' awwl as a fayvah to yah! Gawww! Whatchu loike!! You let me dahhn Edd. Gawww!'. What a fucking nob that Brewer is.
That's one of the reasons I don't watch TV anymore. As the drama quotient increased I watched less and less, until it finally hit every genre I watched. Now I watch UA-cam and I learn a lot more as a bonus. The TV and movie industry shot themselves in the foot.
This is why I like Edd and old Wheeler Dealers. Simple DIY fixes like using the trolley jack to create extra pressure, things that any home mechanic has access to it. Credit to Dave the camera man too! Watching fabricators at work has it's appeal of course, and you can admire their skill, but at the same time it's a far cry from the sort of thing most of us can do over a weekend.
For rounded torx, philips, pozidrive etc my favourite tool is the manual impact driver. The old school type you hit with a hammer and its cammed so it rotates slightly. Kind of the same idea as the jack trick which also worked a treat. Will hopefully remember this for a time i dont have an impact available. For rounded internal hex screws (unbrako/allen) its often possible to hammer in a slightly bigger torx bit. Usually works better than dedicated extractor bits. Although for external hex bolts and tall cylindrical allen screw heads the extractor sockets are great. Anyway those are just some tips which might come in handy for anyone unfamiliar with them. But nothing new to a lot of hobbyists and pros out there including, i'm sure Edd as well. Excellent videos Edd and the rest of the crew. Just stumbled over this after not having watched wheeler dealers for years now, and i really like the production and presentation of this new show as a whole. Thanks a lot and wish you all the best!
There's a couple of additional friction enhancing tips: one is to take a torx tip and grind the end square (like a pin punch) or even slightly hollow (like a wobble broach) so the sharp corners broach into the fillet radii at the bottom of the female recess when the axial force is applied generously, and the other is to put some tungsten carbide grit in the recess. If you put this together with what Edd did (and didn't) try: 1) Some heat and penetrating oil (or better still, beeswax in conjunction with heat) *before* beginning (and before the recess gets further damaged) 2) Inexorable axial force (thanks, Dave!) _ideally with an overlay of axial vibration, but it's important that this is not at the expense of maintaining a high axial force even at the lowest point in each cycle of vibration, and this would take some arranging._ _The old school impact driver (as Hamring suggests) has a lot of merit if you can lay your hands on one - you'll need to source a 1/4" hex impact socket for it if you need use any torx or other specialised bit in it_ 3) Sharp ended driver bit (if torx) 4) Tungsten carbide grit you're giving yourself the best chance of success There is one more step if dealing with potential galling, eg stainless steel male/female thread pairing: Whenever a tiny rotation is made in the loosening direction, reverse the turning force and retighten before seeking a further tiny movement . This cannot be hurried, and in this case, use cooling, not heat. The time to take action against galling is before it starts. If all else fails, TIG (if it's available) is a better bet than MIG.
Brilliant episode Edd & team - I really enjoyed this one. Those mashed torx bolts are just the kind of thing us home-mechanics face every weekend, turning 30 minute jobs into 3 hour jobs. Nifty solution suggested by Dave too - which definitely deserved a brew & biscuit... 👍
Too much effort IMHO. I would have "ghetto flushed" it by pulling trans cooler line off and letting engine pump the fluid out for me, no lift required.
As an ex aircraft engineer , there are a few products in our industry that might be useful , ie jointing compounds for dissimilar metals that you may not be aware of, you just used standard grease when you were re assembling the mini rear end whilst discussing the potential reaction between steel /aluminum and copper as I recall, in aviation we always use specific compounds to minimise the reactions between dissimilar metals. Also , another aviation trick when dealing with possible structure structure movement as you mentioned when dropping the transmission oil on the old Range Rover , we use a thing called a jury strut , much like builders use when installing a Lintel to prevent any movement. I think they call them floor or accrow props, but the same idea , rig something up under a little tension to prevent movement. You are way more experienced than me, but thought these might be worth mentioning to viewers , PS love the show !!
Wonderful to see this truly remarkably talented professional doing what he doe so well. Thank you Edd for the countless hours of entertainment you have given us all these years.
The camera work, editing and production (and the presenting, of course...) is really professional - as good as, if not better than, much of what I watch on TV.
TBH, I was pretty sure Edd's long history with the British public and TV folks would raise a crew of "awesome help". The folks that "let Edd go" might well sharpen their pencils and open a fresh page in their notebooks- Edd is going to teach this lesson his way, after all! FR
I miss you so much on tv my dear Edd. You were the best of the show without any doubt. I want to send you a very big hug from Spain, hopping you are ok, and wishing you all the best for 2023. Thanks for being here mate.
Was anyone else expecting that crossmember to not go back in place so Edd then breaks out a massive hydraulic ram to separate the chassis a teensy bit… (trick up his sleeve) Another top quality episode Edd, thankyou!
If you look closely you can actually see the carlift directly on those chassis beams basically pushing them outwards horizontally a bit with the weight of the car resting on it. So I sorta already knew when he said it that sliding the crossmember back in wouldn't be a problem.
Having done the same job myself, I can assure that you can hammer-slide a bit forward the cross member in order to remove the pan, it doesn't have to be dropped off the chassis.
Hi, Edd, my name is Sergey, I am 34 years old, I live in Russia, and the only thing I watch on TV is the Wheeler Dealers program, where you repair cars, you do it divinely, explain everything in an accessible and understandable way with the help of your videos, I learned how to fix most of the breakdowns in the car, and now I have found your channel on You Tube, I subscribed to your channel and look forward to every new video with pleasure and impatience!!!
Ok I'm only 22, I remember in my early teens watching Wheeler dealers every week, religiously!! When they split i never watched a single new episode... I was only watching because I wanted to hear what mr. China had to say. Forgot about him making this channel... now I'm stuck benge watching....
Much prefer the Range Rover episodes.. getting that wreck of a car working again is really interesting and the editing is much better now too. Nice job!
Love the show, you were the best part of W.D. and I have been fixed on your channel for a couple of yrs waiting for your show and you didn't disappoint .
G'day Edd, just wanted to say I used to watch you on Wheeler Dealers back when I was about 17 or 18 years old. I"m 30 now and I"ve learnt a lot from you. I glad to see you're still as good as ever! Thank you for all the knowledge and the memories!
I do like the mini segment (episode) it embodies the mechanic work (or any other manual labor) especially if you didn't do the previus job /mantenace yourself, it may take half a day... it might take weeks!
Great work Ed. Something about watching the transformation of an old car come back to life is so humbling and relaxing to watch. Much respect to all the hard work 💪👍
A genuine pleasure watch and listen to Edd in action again. I love that you also showcase the damaged / stuck bolts --which are far too often a dreadful time sucking nightmare.
Great video, Edd, and I love that you show every single part of the operation and don't just miss out the kinds of problems we all have when we are under our cars - like bolts with knackered heads. Super presentation and already looking forward to the next episode.
Fascinating compulsive viewing, especially from the comfort of an armchair and no risk of getting a wry neck working overhead like Edd is doing seemingly with ease. Great to see that thinking outside the box and finding alternative ways to crack the stuck bolts problem. I'm full of admiration for this guy especially his patience and resolve not to give up- never be beaten by a lump of metal. Also very neatly filmed too.
There are many things I like about these videos - for one, I owned an RRC for many years and can relate to the need to maintain it, as well as owners who have pushed their trucks into the garden due to their insatiable need for care. Then there’s the fact that to me, Edd reminds me of Alan Rickman, who was one of the best actors of the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s a bit like Severus Snape took up a hobby of being an auto mechanic. Absolutely magical! 👍
I dont watch wheeler dealers any more. Because Edd was the main character actually for me. Now I watch his youtube. . We love you Edd you are the Einstein of the cars :)
Love the sound of tools being used and the sound of parts going together... and Edd of course... instead of stupid music playing in between all the time like alot of other car vids. Cheers Edd.
Edd may not have been the wheeler dealer, but he was the best mechanic on the show. He told you jobs amateur enthusiast can do at home and ones for the garage. He really walked the viewer’s how to do the job and gave you confidence.
Hi Edd, good to see you're branching out, and keeping us fans happy. Picked up many tips from you over the years, thanks for all you do. I love watching the dirty oily bits. 👍😉
I loved how he gave credit to the camera guy for his idea to remove those striped bolts on the gearbox filter. The good sorts give credit where it's due.
I love all the content Edd China it's amazing how you can explain a lot about engines and in the end is fun. You keep us staring at the screen. I've been watching all your content since I was a child because of you.
I adore this type of content.As someone with a passion for cars and wrenching this was a treat for me. YOU learn something and also get entertained.I hope you make more videos like this
So glad to see a competent mechanic using eye protection whilst working under a vehicle. Good show, and excellent work. I have subscribed and will be looking forward for the brake repair video!
so great to watch you and not that mupper mike brewer, such a pleasure to watch you work edd, ive been in the trade 25 years and i work just like you. Proper mechanics are a dying breed edd... keep up the great work mate great channel
Dude... I am so glad you didn't hit yourself on the head with that transmission crossmember. My name is Brandon Mcclellan. I live in the USA, & I have been a fan of yours since about 2012 when I 1st saw you on Wheeler dealers with Mike Brewer. I would love 4 u 2 come to the US again & do some car repair shows on TV. I think you are an AWESOME car mechanic!
So glad to be watching and listening to Edd again, thanks for all your hard work as always Edd. Realising just how much detail has been missing from certain other programs I’ve watched and 4K…. I’m in heaven lol!!
Ed,good morning from México. I have seen all your videos and I can say that they are more than great. Congratulations for your sucess. Regards. Fernando Esparza M.
Fabulous content, camerawork and editing. Great workarounds. Laughed out load at 'biscuit of unpleasantness'. Many thanks to Edd, Dave and editorial team.
“A biscuit of unpleasantness” haha keep them coming! Wonderful series Edd. For some reason watching your show brings back memories of Beano and Xmas pud. You’re quickly becoming another British institution.
Really loving this show, electrical van, Mini, and Range Rover and so on! Enjoy all of it! I actually like the Mini part too...being all dificult and what not :D Thank you for making this show! Regards Niels
love the lighting and camera work on this show. so refreshing to not see wall to wall wobblecam, gopros, wideangle timelapse. instead well crafted and composed transitions. OH and the content was nice too
This is excellent! With so many shows out there along these lines it’s great to see such a useful, humble and well put together show. I feel educated and entertained without having been assaulted by gimmicks, bromances and hyperbole. Nice work.
I actually had a Land Rover back in the days, pretty much the same car. Was a 1997 Discovery 3.9 V8. what happen to me was, as I was driving through some off-road trail, a manage to cross a flooded pit, the video is in my channel by the way. So...long story short, I had some transmission fluid contamination and had to be brought home on a flat bed. So I flushted the whole transmission using the cooling lines before I change the filter, and luckly for me, I had no problems with the transmission but the torque converter. Nice job Ed, those Land Rover videos bring me back in the old days.
This is quickly becoming the very best of wheeler dealers. I've learned so much from watching Edd over the years, it's great to be in school again.
And therein lies the trouble and the rumble between the "grease monkey", Edd, and the slick, high speed jacket wearing, car salesman. FR
Two different shows, enjoy them both. I'd rather have more car shows than less in this day and age.
Good to see Ed running into problems such as stripped bolts like the rest of us and how he deals with it!

Edd was the best part of wheeler dealers and I’m glad to see him still doing what he is so skilled at. Thanks Edd! New subscriber!
I cringed every time the other guy was on, I just wanted to kick the screen in because he ruined that show.
while i agree, Edd and Mike were and always will be wheeler dealers to me, I won't discredit Ant as he is an excellent craftsman.

I do like the mini segment (episode) it embodies the mechanic work (or any other manual labor) especially if you didn't do the previus job /mantenace yourself, it may take half a day... it might take weeks!
I love that Ed works on old rusty stuff too just like our own projects at home 👍
Difference is that he gets paid for it...
Maestro, genio, pero sabes que me gusta de tu persona y que se nota de lejisimos es tu GRAN HUMILDAD. sigue así, saludos desde ARGENTINA 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Great work Ed. Something about watching the transformation of an old car come back to life is so humbling and relaxing to watch. Much respect to all the hard work 💪👍
I forgot I was watching UA-cam while watching this. This could be a series on Netflix or Prime Video.
A genuine pleasure watch and listen to Edd in action again. I love that you also showcase the damaged / stuck bolts --which are far too often a dreadful time sucking nightmare.
I spent many hours battling with bolts and nuts when the manual said "unbolt and remove"
WTF???.
"Biscuit of unpleasantness" isn't a phrase you hear every day.

What about “dog eggs”?
“Was supposed to be a doddle but it turned into a bit of a faff.”
I'm waiting for the "Biscuit of Unpleasantness" t-shirts to show up in the Edd China merch shop!
This is Edd fucking China's workshop... The only thing he can't fix is bad attitudes
Great video, Edd, and I love that you show every single part of the operation and don't just miss out the kinds of problems we all have when we are under our cars - like bolts with knackered heads. Super presentation and already looking forward to the next episode.
Fascinating compulsive viewing, especially from the comfort of an armchair and no risk of getting a wry neck working overhead like Edd is doing seemingly with ease. Great to see that thinking outside the box and finding alternative ways to crack the stuck bolts problem. I'm full of admiration for this guy especially his patience and resolve not to give up- never be beaten by a lump of metal. Also very neatly filmed too.
now that was a truly great episode, amusing and informative all at the same time. thanks very much Edd I thoroughly enjoyed it
There are many things I like about these videos - for one, I owned an RRC for many years and can relate to the need to maintain it, as well as owners who have pushed their trucks into the garden due to their insatiable need for care.
Then there’s the fact that to me, Edd reminds me of Alan Rickman, who was one of the best actors of the 20th and 21st centuries. It’s a bit like Severus Snape took up a hobby of being an auto mechanic. Absolutely magical! 👍
I dont watch wheeler dealers any more. Because Edd was the main character actually for me. Now I watch his youtube. . We love you Edd you are the Einstein of the cars :)
Love the sound of tools being used and the sound of parts going together... and Edd of course... instead of stupid music playing in between all the time like alot of other car vids. Cheers Edd.
So nice to see you back, Ed. I've missed your wit and talent. That Rover is a real pig box. Best of luck to you.
im not even into fixing crs but i just love Edds style and presentation ,his segments were always the highlight of wheeler dealers
Thank you for all the hard work and passion you put into this channel Ed. This was your best episode yet!
Worst bit of the video is when Edd says “but that is for another day” 😄
ua-cam.com/video/em4nrsXbXTo/v-deo.html🔥
agreed. wish he'd do a live stream and just tinker in the shop
indeed
Edd may not have been the wheeler dealer, but he was the best mechanic on the show.
He told you jobs amateur enthusiast can do at home and ones for the garage. He really walked the viewer’s how to do the job and gave you confidence.
I'm enjoying the work on the mini with Neil. To each their own.
Hi Edd, good to see you're branching out, and keeping us fans happy. Picked up many tips from you over the years, thanks for all you do.
I love watching the dirty oily bits. 👍😉
I loved how he gave credit to the camera guy for his idea to remove those striped bolts on the gearbox filter. The good sorts give credit where it's due.
I love all the content Edd China it's amazing how you can explain a lot about engines and in the end is fun. You keep us staring at the screen. I've been watching all your content since I was a child because of you.
I adore this type of content.As someone with a passion for cars and wrenching this was a treat for me. YOU learn something and also get entertained.I hope you make more videos like this
So glad to see a competent mechanic using eye protection whilst working under a vehicle. Good show, and excellent work. I have subscribed and will be looking forward for the brake repair video!
Eddie for me your the best mechanic I know...…I learned a lot from you.
I really need to watch more of these. It's quite nostalgic.
Props to the editor, btw. Top job.
And don't forget the music . Very well done!
That cleaning was the most satisfying thing I've seen in years.
ua-cam.com/video/em4nrsXbXTo/v-deo.html😎
I agree lol. There’s a UA-cam that deep cleans some REALLY nasty cars.
You need to watch autoshine cars then.this rangerover is clean compared to some of the cars he cleans lol.
@@ivanfernyhough3851 it's not just the transformation, it's the soundtrack and cinematography along with Edd's ultimate calm.
Get out more often.
so great to watch you and not that mupper mike brewer, such a pleasure to watch you work edd, ive been in the trade 25 years and i work just like you. Proper mechanics are a dying breed edd... keep up the great work mate great channel
This is just exactly what YT should be all about, informative and entertaining at the same time. Great production values too!

Спасибо тебе, ты из моего детства на дискавери)
Dude... I am so glad you didn't hit yourself on the head with that transmission crossmember. My name is Brandon Mcclellan. I live in the USA, & I have been a fan of yours since about 2012 when I 1st saw you on Wheeler dealers with Mike Brewer. I would love 4 u 2 come to the US again & do some car repair shows on TV. I think you are an AWESOME car mechanic!
I absolutely love that this programme shows you all the challenges and ways to get around them that we all have. I have learned so much!
So glad to be watching and listening to Edd again, thanks for all your hard work as always Edd. Realising just how much detail has been missing from certain other programs I’ve watched and 4K…. I’m in heaven lol!!
What I enjoy about Ed is his integrity
And his ability to do the job right
It's good to watch and listen to a master mechanical engineer. He reminds me of my grandfather. A pleasure to watch.listen and learn ! !
Ed,good morning from México.
I have seen all your videos and I can say that they are more than great.
Congratulations for your sucess.
Regards.

" a biscuit of unpleasantness "😄
We want Edd to reach very very up to the million of followers, He is amazing!!!
Good to see that Mike Brewer still gets a mention from time to time, "this is where the little dipstick goes"
😂😂
toxic. Edd and Mike have already resolved their issues so why are you still on about it?
@@ArrghhMatey Why am I still on about what?
Hahahaha awesome
@@ArrghhMatey oh god, better get you a freezer incase you melt
Fabulous content, camerawork and editing. Great workarounds. Laughed out load at 'biscuit of unpleasantness'. Many thanks to Edd, Dave and editorial team.
Thanks!
“A biscuit of unpleasantness” haha keep them coming! Wonderful series Edd. For some reason watching your show brings back memories of Beano and Xmas pud. You’re quickly becoming another British institution.
I do so enjoy your work Ed. Bravo from the Colonies.😀
Hi Edd from Ukraine! You make is great job! I like your video's! More than 5 years i watch your video's and up my level! thank you!
Loving the Range Rover stuff. Can't wait to see you doing more on this car.
Really loving this show, electrical van, Mini, and Range Rover and so on! Enjoy all of it! I actually like the Mini part too...being all dificult and what not :D Thank you for making this show! Regards Niels
I miss Edd on wheeler dealers but if he didn’t leave we would never have had this UA-cam channel so thank god for that
Love the vibes of that content. And the pedagogy.
This is a great show. Glad to see you back!
love the lighting and camera work on this show. so refreshing to not see wall to wall wobblecam, gopros, wideangle timelapse. instead well crafted and composed transitions. OH and the content was nice too
These episodes are fantastic! Thanks ED! Proper "TV"
Don’t worry about a few negative comments about the mini videos… I’ve learned a lot from those videos.
I saw Wheeler dealers just because of you. I love your job.
This is excellent! With so many shows out there along these lines it’s great to see such a useful, humble and well put together show. I feel educated and entertained without having been assaulted by gimmicks, bromances and hyperbole. Nice work.
Pra mim, o Edd é um dos melhores do mundo! Tem carisma e conhecimento técnico! Cara inspirador!
Mate, I'm not sure what you're implying, but our Edd doesn't consort with 'melhores', and has never touched another man's 'conhecimento'.
@@markglover2525 He said, "to me, Edd is one of the best car mechanics of the world,has charisma and technical knowledge,inspirational guy"
Ant também é muito bom, de qualquer forma acho que o Joias Sobre Rodas não deveria ter acabado.
Wow! Edd China! Here you are! What a nice guy!
So refreshing to see someone use actual spanners instead of a bloomin impact for everything!
Yes!
Try taking the wheels off with a spanner, spanner.
When you do this day in day out as a job, using ratchets and breakers is soul destroying
Hey Edd, ILook forward to each show. This show is interesting and informative and I'm always surprised when the "job for another day comes so quickly!
I actually had a Land Rover back in the days, pretty much the same car. Was a 1997 Discovery 3.9 V8.
what happen to me was, as I was driving through some off-road trail, a manage to cross a flooded pit, the video is in my channel by the way.
So...long story short, I had some transmission fluid contamination and had to be brought home on a flat bed.
So I flushted the whole transmission using the cooling lines before I change the filter, and luckly for me, I had no problems with the transmission but the torque converter.
Nice job Ed, those Land Rover videos bring me back in the old days.
Isn’t Ed just great, always comes up with the solution
Well done mate
I really enjoyed it. Found it more fascinating than the MINI.
