- Edd China's Workshop Diaries 20: A date with destiny. (Fixing the perished Range Rover brake pipe, should the brake pipe really look like a wet twig?)
Just one more thing to fix before we can take our 1986 Range Rover out onto the road and to its MoT test - is this really it? Well, we're about to find out. Surely, now that it runs and it's clean, it's got drive and hopefully brakes that work, it will be ready for its MoT test. Or will we find yet more things that need to be fixed first?...

Will I ever need to rebuild a rusted brake line? No. Do I want to watch Edd rebuild a rusted brake line? YES!!!!
I've had to make a few brake lines before, but I still enjoyed watching Edd do it!
I almost ruined one of mine, so I've watched some videos on it. This was a good demonstration.
First time I've seen it done. 😎
I can't drive but good series and great workmanship.
😂
It’s nice to have a show with real life repairs without all the drama. Thanks Ed, I appreciate the quality content.
No, what you really mean is real life repairs without all the bad language, busted knuckles, having to cobble up a 'similar' tool because you don't have the exact one you need, having to leave the job halfway to get another replacement widget because you only bought three but need four, finding out that someone before you 'upgraded' a part from a totally different year model, rusty screws rounding off, bolts seizing and shearing, needing an extra pair of hands to lift this, or hold that and worst of all, the Mrs. calling to talk about some nonsense when you are at the most critical point in the job - which is usually every point.
Oh, and finding out that some scroat has used the last tea-bag after you boiled the kettle.
Let's not talk about getting rusty flakes in your hair, mouth, eyes (even with safety specs one), trying to blow your nose with greasy hands and your gloves springing a hole, covering your fingers with black muck that will take a week to scrub out and you are going to a dinner party that night.
Ever notice that a job which you figure will take an hour inevitably ends up taking 5?
@@clarkwilson3505 I hear ya, that’s all true but I was referring to the dramatic tv series on discovery channel, like Orange County Choppers and the down to the last second deadline jobs. It’s all unnecessary fluff, if I’m going to watch a mechanic show I want it to be about mechanics, not a bunch of man boy drama. Grown men acting like just got their periods.
@@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074 When you mean 'dramatic', you really mean scripted snowflakes, right? I believe the word you were looking for was 'manstruating'.
I couldn't agree more and in that respect, your approach, Edd, is most appreciated for us 'classic car' (and I use the phrase in its loosest possible definition) home mechanics, fettlers and 'CPR' givers.
Your workarounds are nicely simple and educational and there's not the editing shortcuts per WD to fit the content into a half hour slot including adverts, so we see the logical progression of the intervention.
Its also nice to see ways to tackle tasks when we don't have a main-stealers garage of specialist equipment and have to occasionally improvise.
I do recommend that you contact one of the tea-bag manufacturer's to arrange for a product placement deal - you could put on a flat cap, lab jacket and Yawk-shea accent to promote "Edd's Mechanic-Strength Workshop Tetley Tea - served best from a China cup"...
Anyone not from the UK is unlikely to get that reference... check out the Tetley Tea-men adverts on You-Tube and you'll understand.
Fascinating to see that some old clunkers are not beyond saving (as long as you have knowledge, experience, creativity, persistence, stubbornness, the right tools and a well-equipped workshop !). What one hears is that current Range Rover engineering and manufacturing will never again produce a car that be brought to life after 40 years of hard driving and neglect. A really excellent channel. Well done all involved.
I used to replace lots of brake pipes on cars when i worked at National Tyres and autocare. My most memorable has to be a vw golf "C" registered. The entire system needed new brake pipes mainly because of the same thing where the pipes join. I did one at a time and kept it connected to an old Lucas brake bleeder machine which i had to disconnect in between. Took a while so luckily he left it with us while he went on holiday.
The car is still on the road to this day. This brought back that memory.
Great show Edd thank you.
With this every Friday I don't miss wheeler dealers at all.
Not anymore !
Not missing WD doesn't take that much effort to be honest...
Its a good replacement
Wheeler what ?
@@Vespastendert
And no used car salesman who pops up halfway through the episode to give snarky remarks
Thank you Edd (and your team) for sticking to your beliefs of what a great car show should be!
Wheeler Dealers youtube channel just posted episode #1 of the show. And there was Edd China, looking young, thin and with No grey hair!!!!
@@rickh6963 I hope Edd gets a cut. Looks like they can't do without him. They've got less than 300k subs in nine years, Edd got a quarter of a million subs in a year. Quality just works.
blame the american format on wheeler dealers for them it's all about the $$$$$$$$ with advertising - ed did the right thing getting out
Yep, couldn’t agree more!
I'm glad you used the coper lines. That's a permanent fix because the car will rust away long before the line breaks again. Glad you didn't stop after Wheeler Dealers days. Wold be awesome for the old crew to get back together and make a car running again for fun. You are a great mechanic Edd
Cameraman should be congratulated on his closeup filming and general camera work. Production team work is excellent.
Or maybe he should avoid close-ups altogether in the future - seeing the rotten frame in details gave me goosebumps :-)
Edd = National treasure
The only youtube channel i don't skip ads. Says a lot.
Well thank goodness, he's back. When I explained to my lovely wife the dissolution of "the team", her response was: "Mr. China takes you through the repair process most thoroughly". To capture her interest regarding mechanical repair topics, you have to be outstanding,
Did I learn anything watching this after running a successful business working on old cars for the last 15 years? Nope.
Did I enjoy it? Absolutely!
Other UA-camrs: Barn find abandoned for 30 years started and driving in just 10 minutes!!!
Edd: 40 minutes of fabricating a brake pipe.
This is why we love you Edd ❤️
Edd China for the win!
Binky: 7 years of fabricating brackets.
To be honest, a barn one, especially if its been prepared for storage, will be in a lot better condition than this out door one
One big difference here is what is acceptable to drive on the road in one place vs another. In Europe you need an MOT, and insurance to drive. In many parts of the world, if you put fuel in it and it goes forward then its good to go. Derek from VGG would have got this beast running with a boat fuel tank, changed the oil and the trans fluid and as the front 2nd brake circuit sort of works, driven 1000 miles home. If he had temporary insurance (which he normaly does) he would be good to go and it would be perfectly acceptable!.
Whoever does the camera work and editing is doing a fantastic job. Your show is really up there and ready for TV.
I don't miss Wheeler Dealers at all.
With the quick pace and interesting projects, your new show is a great hit!
This is 10 x better than anything Wheeler Dealers ever did - no detail with them just theatre! Well done Edd China, really interesting stuff from which we can all Learn
I like wheeler dealers a lot, but there were a lot of details in the repair that were edited out to meet the 44 minutes per show. I really like this format better, keep showing the mistakes and repairs as they come instead of over editing them out! Great work!
I just watch, I don't have any questions.I watch and learn keep them coming Edd China!!
I’m so fortunate to be slowly restoring an old Range Rover and have Ed’s amazing tutorials to assist me! 👏
Milwaukee, one of the best sponsors a mechanic can have!
I love how all he needs to do is use the tools, they sell themselves after that.
Your production team's creative shots and editing are top-notch quality...a real pleasure to watch.
True that, I haven't found another mechanical channel with as clear quality and production value, it's great!
Gotta keep those sponsors happy, too! 😁
@@Involvod ChrisFix
@@toyotacorollae1407 Ah yeah, Flexiny too now I think about it.
the choice of sounds to accompany the images of the brakes being bled took me to a new dimension, ok maybe not, but with the nightmare of music copyright, it's usually a big downer but not with the creativity of the accompanying sounds, they bring something pleasant to the party, good stuff
This would be a great video if there weren’t so many adverts. Ed China you are a legend I understand they are required and I’m totally okay with a couple ads but it’s almost unwatchable. Anyone else the same or is it just me?
Ed you are the man. Watching you fabricate and bend the brake pipe was outstanding.
Ed, I'm glad you're still around, wrenching in the workshop. You have a unique way of explaining things, that gets through to my thinking. Thanks!
Do not judge someone else’s past; you don’t know your future
@@margaritasycheva4670 what are you on about?
Finally someone shooting these videso in 4k with a good cinematography. SO satisfying
Not so in the wilds of Lincolnshire where the bandwidth is so low, it buffers all the time
@@pigswhist which connection?
@@simonev97 copper lines a mile from the main box
I have no desire for old cars at all especially for SUV-s but I enjoy watching him fixing things.
Loving the series, far better than wheeler dealers, the in depth analysis of how to do things is what wheeler dealers need to show, keep up the amazing work
Hey Edd nice job what I love about these videos is the fact you take the time to show the process I know with the tv shows you always had time constraints but they alway felt rushed and incomplete for people like myself interested in how it all works.. this is way better.
Much appreciated for the time you take to bring us all along….
Best video so far!!!!😁😁😁 back to the basic super descriptive. There's the old Edd China bravo🤗🤗😁😁😁😁😁 i knew you had left in ya.
Edd, these videos are so well put togeter, lots attention to detail, I love them! This is definitely what I would expect to see in your channel, many thanks!
one of the few videos I could watch while being on the edge of my seat every minute
Enjoy this so much - let’s be honest Ed was the best part of WD by far.
Ed was better of course
Edd was/is a rare breed. An honest mechanic to say the least, a passionate engineer. Mike is a used car salesman. Enough said.
You're absolutely right! Felt that way sinds the beginning. I remember Edd with dark hair and reparing a Ford capri and the Porsche 924. There is something to be said about ''used car salesman'' and ''integrity''. The first chance Mike got he ran of with American producers with cheesy commercial ideas that ruined a good car program. Just like that producer who fired Jeremy from Top Gear. I hate this day and age but God am I thankful that Edd is on his own now! He was genuinely the only interesting factor in that program.
Ant Anstead isn't too bad, he does do the same things as Edd, but it's what the editor leaves in and what the director & producer want that makes the most difference.
@@neilbarnett3046 I’m sure editing plays a major role but I think this channel is what Edd had in mind, a more in depth auto repair/restore show, whereas WD has gone more in the way of a car flipping show.
Perhaps you should just dip the entire vehicle in the rust remover you used for the gas tank... thanks for taking us along on this journey
😂
Well, dissolving the whole car is certainly going to deal with it 😂
I'd really like to see someone go over a rusty car with a 'cleaning' laser like Narran manufacture. Would be interesting to see what was left.
Strap the whole car to a cement mixer and fill it with bolts, just to be sure.
there will be nothing left to take out.
The show looks like WD with all the cons gone. Thank you for the every daily dose of edd fixing stuff. I didn’t realize I need that until I lost it .
The epitome of patience and attention to detail 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
J'adore votre programme et c'est toujours avec plaisir que je regarde.. merci
Merci a vous!
@@eddchina encore et encore, j'apprends grâce et avec vous la mécanique automobile. De la part d'un petit français, merci
“It’s fuel injection, it’s bound to” 😂🤣
This along with Project Binky is my kinda entertainment. I think they can learn much across the pond, rather than repetition and continuous adverts.
A couple more epic channels like binky and Edd and I can cancel Netflix and finally stop paying my TV license...
Judging by the state of this Range, it could take as long as Binky to see the road! 🙈🤣
@@peteledwidge3631 By the time Binky is on the road, it'll need converting to electric to meet homologation. :)
Love the way you don't skip the problems (usually rust) we all encounter, this is a great show Edd, be proud of the following you have.
Who needs to do a college course in car mechanics when you can just watch Edd? :)
Brilliant Episode Edd. Reminds me of a mini a friend had that had been sitting for about four years. I spent three weeks doing tons of jobs on it and finally getting it through an MOT. Greatest feeling in the world. Like to this Rangey getting fully restored 👍🏻
Have to say Edd this is much better than an episode of WD it’s much more natural and less staged
That new pipe just doubled the value of the car. I just found your channel Edd and I'm super happy.
The cinematography and music even the little sound effects are spot on! Like the sound of the bubbles played by the flute lol made my day
I'm just so happy to see you doing exactly what you want to do Edd. Teaching this global community some skills we otherwise would never have exposure to. Thanks for carrying on the show, being the wealth of information you are and interacting with the community. Bravo sir
Used to always see your show on the tele but had no idea about your channel.
I was getting tired of seeing just American mechanics with American cars... I'm so glad I found your channel, probably the best suggestion UA-cam ever made me 😃.
If you get an MOT for that rust bucket you are a magician! Can't wait to see the result.
Oh boy. Looking at that underside I get PTSD from my own Merc restauration all over again. Great to have you back Ed. 🙂
Excellent series!
I'll never own a classic Range rover but it's great watching the transformation to a running vehicle.
Better than regular television!!
Straight forward,simple,no B.S...Enjoyed it.As one old mechanic to another great job on the whole thing.Clean clear video and explanations.Quality all the way.
In the old days we had Haynes books for car repairs now we have Edd 😊
Messaging you from Cyprus Edd, temp here has been in the 40s all day, been very tiring. But the 40 mins just flew by, was completley awake. Great video and information once again. Thanks.
I have a sneaky suspicion the 'pass' list will be shorter than the 'fail' list.... Best book a double-slot for the MOT Edd, no way 45 minutes is long enough for that old shed!!
A new car that is set ablaze will get better inspection results than this one.
It’s always a “joy” and oh that feeling when rusty fittings unscrew! The joys of being a mechanic!
I'm thinking about buying a secondhand R/Rover, your workshop diaries are a great help
Love this series, hope there is many more!
Considering it needs a full strip down body off rebuild, I'd imagine there will be more
@@jwatkins5155 Definitely, but when this is up and running I hope he finds something else to work on 🙂
@@jwatkins5155 to be honest the chassis isn’t that bad. The out riggers are the only serious issues I’ve seen and the can be done body on. Only area you can’t see is the top of the chassis. That’s where my defender was rotten. I replaced all the out riggers and rear crossmember. Got it through the MOT and then realised the top of the chassis was missing in a fair few spot. I could have spent time and effort welding it up. But a new chassis delivered was £2000. Not a terrible price if you ask me
I _LOVE_ that you are doing $10,000 of work on a car worth $500! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
these cars are now classic cars - value going through roof, the oldest ones once fully restored are now in excess $100k
@@paulriggers1558 Haha… you only need to travel a few miles into the countryside here and you can pull one like the one Edd is working on out of a hedge!
@@CynicalLemonade get them while u can, even the rusty old original steel wheels go for about £100 now, just looked on fleabay, £ 1600 for 4 refurbed.
Ed - have to admire your perseverance with the old Rangie. Cannot believe just how crusty it is everywhere you look. Cannot wait to see finished job!
This is how advertisers should use UA-cam. As someone who tries to avoid adverts at every stage, the subtle shots of the Ansell gloves and power tools added to the quality of this video. Eddvertising masterclass. I even bought a box of those gloves online (oh...and Subscribed) Nice job!
Ed, good morning.
The Range Rover project its wonderful!
Your are a excelent engineer, and person.
I like your job and videos.
Congratulations!
Best regards from México.
This is exactly the kind of videos I love! Fixing up an old beat up car that's really nothing special, which most of us can relate to. I also like that you have the perfect balance between being informative, detailed and entertaining. 👍👍
There are to much car in this rust 🤣. Jokes apart... Edd is a Master in that repairing art.
when Edd said 'Classic' surely he meant 'Jurassic', love the photography tricks at the end, learned some awesome technical terms as well, notably, dog eggs and road apples, now that is classic
This is great. So much work to find out how much more work is needed. Classic. Looking at the blue smoke coming out of the exhaust at the end, I'd say this show isn't over yet. Cheers
Every time I watch this, I feel refreshed in the sense that a repair has been possible and done by a professional. Great video edd 👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant, just bought my first P38 range rover! Can't wait to learn about the faults, It's a Great British icon so I had to get one. Loving your show Ed, the government should teach more about this in schools, a whole generation has been denied this. Hands on experience alongside mathematics and physics you can't go wrong. Keep up the good work!
I was taught to use a T-bar, not a ratchet for grease nipples, bleed nipples, sparkplugs and injectors. Even rotational force with less chance of angling the socket extension. Love your vids Edd!
Edd you're a good teacher. We learn lots from you, good man.
This is a great show Im hooked. Ed is such a great problem solver.
Allways enjoy seein ur new episodes u take the time to explain what ur doin and u do everything to sort the problems rather than just throwing a heap of new parts at it and hopin that cures the problem like some so called mechanics do . They not mechanics just fitters . . I do appreciate ur methodical approach to any problems u encounter . Pls take care hope u and family are all well . ... ian ...
Love the authenticity of your videos.
It's very interesting, thanks for videos. Best Wishes from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Whoever does the editing on these videos is doing a great job 👍 Loving the RR series Edd!
It's a pleasure looking at you at work
Ed’s… so watchable. You’re a genius.
38:06 It was nice of Edd's identical twin brother to help out briefly. No number plates is an instant MOT fail I think (unless you're the Queen!).
I think the 'twin brother', is a nod to one of the early Wheeler Dealers seasons that also featured 'multiple Edds'.
Love your channel and all your efforts to rescue the Rust Rover!
Hi Ed, seeing the state of the underside of the Range Rover, I'm starting to take pity on the MOT mechanic when you finally manage to get the vehicle to the station. Great series Ed, loving the videos. 👍
It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever brought him… or, on second thought, maybe it is…
@@eddchina looking forward to the video 👍🛻
I know it is a stupid question but who is disliking these videos?
These are awesome!
I love this show. I have made many bake lines for old rusty vehicles here in Chicago. I usually do this by hand. I knew about these line bending tools and now I will have a clue about using them properly. Thank you
Result!
Edd, you should consider taking advantage of the current mania for ASMR videos and just present loops of activities like you recreating knackered brake lines. What a lovely thing to watch!
Your hand skills + common sense analysis are a joy...
All the best, sir!
Great to see you back. Production values are great and I'm not even bothered by the odd "Accidental" product placement.
So great to see a car mechanic show with no "If we don't finish by morning we will lose the shop!" Bull eggs.
I dont know my arse from my elbow about mech stuff but ive really enjoyed the videos about the range rover. cant wait till the next installment
The amount of knowledge gained in these videos is priceless. Thanks a lot Edd and Crew.
Great video Ed.When I was a apprentice in the early 90s my boss had exactly the same brake flare tool,I haven’t seen one in a very long time and they worked a treat.In a small workshop In Melbourne we would convert import USA Porsche’s 356 to right hand drive and I had to hand bend these brake lines. 👍🇦🇺
thank you very much, edd, for the subtitles in portuguese! my dad loves watching dealers whealers and now are watching your channel! cheers from brazil!
Greetings from Turkey Edd China, we are watching you with great interest
It’s all good until you flare both ends of your tube and look over to find the ends still in your work bench. Lol. Love this series!
😂😂😂😂😂 sounds like it has happened to you b4 it happened to me once 😂😂😂
@@johnsondominique57 it has happens to me. Not in automotive application. I was making a hydraulic line for an airplane. Made two of the most perfect flares known to man. Only to find that the ends were laughing at me from the workbench. Lol
@@michaellearn5117 😂😂😂😂 and thats when you just did ur best work
Wait until you congratulate yourself for routing the new pipe neatly, only to discover you fitted one of the ends(who owns a flaring tool without a selection of new fittings, which are only a few pence each?) the wrong way around...
A first class mechanic and a first class story teller as well and an all round nice guy. I can see why you’re approaching nearly a million subscribers.
Keep up the good work. As I said before, from one 6’5 VW enthusiast to another, feel free to come and play air cooled beetles with me at any time!
Run into your channel couple of hours ago, its now0233 am going to get another coffee n watch few more of your videos mate they are Brilliant your truly a master crafter, never enjoyed a video on car repairs like yours B4 ever many thanks mate
some of these camera angles are amazing, its hard enough to see this stuff without a camera in the way
Todo un genio Edd China ,veo todos sus programas..
Using the bender as an angle gauge is a great tip! I always eyeballed the angle and then compared to the old pipe.
It was a lovely surprise so see Ed and the Range Rover today when I stopped for fuel, loved the energy you had going on even when you were off camera.
The intro, isn't that Queen, We will rock you?
Thanks Edd for this amazing episode again :) I'm still quite ill so these video's can keep my head off from being ill and just enjoy!
Nothing better than an Edd video to distract you from your worries. Get well soon mate and get spannering. All the best 👍👍
im here in the U.S.(Michigan) we use salt in the winters one of my projects is a mercury grand marquis, the brake lines have suffered likewise from the years and the car sitting ( its a 1996) I am impressed by the level of expertise it takes to fabricate new lines, my mechanic makes everything seem so easy...
We put salt on the roads here in the uk in the winter its rusts best friend lol
I have made new copper brake pipes, it is easy to do with a hand flanging tool, takes five minutes longer, but not hard. You don't have to be so fussy when running it along the car, as long as it is secured to the body (you can get plastic clips) and it is not hampering or rubbing against anything. Did all the brake pipes on my old car and it sailed through the MOT. It felt a bit spongy after bleeding, but a few hefty pushes on the peddle shifted the bubble of air and it worked its way to where it could be expelled. He commented on the hand brake but it just passed, it improved with use and in the end would lock the back wheels when driving along the road. I think it was just a bit of contamination on the rear brakes. He also commented on one wheel that was feathering a tyre, so he aligned it for next to nothing. He also broke his shifter while trying to loosing a track rod end nut. I tried not to laugh, but failed. He said it had a crack in the jaw of it for ages, it has been a spanner for 30+ years, been hammered on, put on the end of a long pipe with two people pushing on the pipe, it owes me nothing. Been a good shifter, but I was needing a new one anyway.
He was quite strict with MOTs, but he lost his licence for them, never found out why!
I only want to make one point to Ed, It's brilliant when you have your youth and all the equipment in the garage. Mine tended to be a few spanners, a pair of ramps and the ground. Of course these days you would dare touch a car.
Even a maveric like the great Edd China second guesses him self for a triple check. There's hope for us all yet. Loving this channel Edd 👌
Nice to see Ed Recycling this RR back onto the road eventually, in a society Today where we are more often scrapping relatively repairable cars which can be used for many more years to come.
The UK and car dealers offering Scrappage incentives is part of the reason many of these old vehicles are scrapped because with a move to a greener society they are getting to the point that in a few years the Emission regulations will be almost impossible to meet.
I appreciate the time Edd took to explain "Dog Eggs" & "Horse Apples" to those unfamiliar w/the terms. You are guaranteed to learn something on every episode of #WorkshopDiaries. I learned about annealing brake lines - I've replaced the lines on my own car, & if I'd known about that, I would've been done faster back in the day :) Thanks Edd!
I love the tempo of your show. I've been wrenching on cars for all of my adult life, so I'm not learning anything new here, but it's a stark contrast to the way I operate. I'm always cursing and moving quickly. I especially don't like doing rusty brake lines because they tend to break in more spots than they even were before I start in on them. You're cool, collected, calm, and the camera work really sets it off. Nice job.
Also, I really like that flaring tool. If I have another big project where I need to do a bunch of flares, I might pick one up.
Ed is surely more knowledgeable than the average MOT tester… Which makes me wonder why he doesn’t do the pre-mot himself…
Either way, this show is incredible… it’s full of facts and the production quality is better than most television problems… bravo to all involved..
Thanks to Edd and everyone involved. This series is great!
