It was almost 25 minutes... and it wasn't very exciting for anyone who've worked on an old car before. This would've been less than 5 minutes in a Wheeler Dealers episode, and rightfully so.

I know you won’t see this Edd but I just had to write this so people realise that quality educational content reaches people and focuses the mind. My Dad was an amateur mechanic all his life especially in the 70’s when cars were bad and money was tight. He and I used to watch Wheeler Dealers all the time when you were on it Edd. He used to say to me “that big man’s a genius!” He’s 89 now and has dementia but if I say to him remember Dad when we used to watch Wheeler Dealers On the TV? I swear to God he still remembers and says that big man’s a genius with a wry smile on his face that say’s I’ve been there and suffered on the footpath with my tool bag!

When you watch Ed work and are working on the same type of vehicle, you can be confident that you can do the job because you just watched it being done in real time. All the other shows at best will TELL you to be careful of a part or trick on how to do it but Ed shows you exactly how to do it. It’s a pleasure to watch his show while it’s a chore to watch the others, thanks Ed ❗️🇺🇸. With the ice cream van - you were always smarter than the average bear. lol 😆

The switch in that Alvis with the spring-loaded plunger holding the knob on is just amazing. That's the type of engineering you don't get in modern cars - easy to rebuild, hard wearing and durable, high quality and simple. Wonderful.

I do believe I could watch Edd working on cars every day.. lovely that he is showing us what Wheeler Dealers are missing. Thank you Edd

That's the Edd we fondly remember. Grafting & Crafting. Wrestling stuff into submission. New tech in old machines. Innovation with respect. Hats off.

There is something soothing and relaxing about this....a small repair, in real time. This is my new therapy channel

A real guy working in real conditions, and no dumb music. It like a breath of fresh air :-)

Ok so this is not a dream, we really are going to get a weekly dose of Edd wisdom.

So nice to have Edd back on screen again. Have always loved his style of presenting. It's been far too long, so it really is nice knowing we are now getting these great shows.

Ed’s an absolute legend..a proper Wheeler Dealer..I’ve watched every one ,time and again.

I love the contrast in this video, some people might say old cars were great because you could repair them yourself, but then he's 3d scanning a gear box with a handheld device straight onto laptop.

I love how they show full length of a basic switch replacement process. I always hated how TV shows shortcuts these things like make it look so simple. Than you Edd for showing reality.

Love the English terms for things like "earth" instead of "ground". Great to have you back Edd.

Edd’s confidence is stellar. Put it all back and then test it...awesomeness extreme!

Workshop diaries! Now without question my number one YT channel!

Holy cow! I can’t stop watching these videos, I’ll get divorced if I don’t stop! Thanks Edd for your videos!

"If I'm feeling a bit tarty" hahaha. It's good to be watching this genius again

Nice to see you back Ed.

Wheeler Dealers was so awesome because of your charisma and amazing work done on those cars.

My Wheeler Dealer's nostalgia is fixed - multi-fold... very satisfying ... A surgeon in the workshop...

Most of these mechanic shows make things look so easy, no effing and blinding, skinning your knuckles and farting around in fiddly bits and bobs... which is reality. Good to see this.

We are so lucky as viewers to have this guy back doing his thing. Much love from Cape Town South Africa

The number of projects I just gave up and sat in my car upside down hanging under my dash, I so sympathize with Edd, especially since I'm really tall too.

Who would have thought you could have one programme about an EV, 60's electrics in an Alvis, and laser scanning. Eclectic and brilliant. If I won the lottery a few beers with Mr China and Mr May would be one of the first on the to do list

It's great to see you back Edd, I just wish I could stay as calm and chilled as you when working on vehicles! No cursing, no drama, just cool, collected enthusiasm! Don't ever stop being you!

I watched Edd change a switch for 20 minutes and it's the best thing I'll do all day!

I am glad to see your back at working on vehicles. I really appreciate the way you explain everything so even the inexperienced folks understand. I really enjoy shows where the vehicles are the main objective and not the "drama". Thank Edd for everything you do

Wait, why am I paying for cable tv? .

I remember back in the day when Edd was doing rattle can paint jobs and now he's using 3D scanning tech to get custom machined mating surfaces made. What a world we live in!

Just like the good old days without the interruptions from Mr Brewer, thought I'd give it a watch for 5 mins and finish it later on tonight but couldn't tear myself away, fantastic production, you've not lost any of your boyish enthusiasm and charismatic charm, I was very disheartened when I found out that you had left WD's but am well happy now, keep up the great work.

Mixing old school engineering and new technology in one episode is a great idea ! Love the new series you have put together Edd! Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺👍

I'm so happy you got a regular episodic program going again.

The original GOAT great having you back Edd

Oddly enough, sir; the greatness of this channel is that it shows the detail, difficulty and physical strain of what you do. I much prefer the sweat, diligence and personal victory not seen in the WD days which did not even begin to show your gifts. Give me great truth over great editing any day. A marketable product has never been the primary aim of artists

It's so difficult to find someone to work on your car that will work to the same standard as Ed. So many cowboys outhere. Love the videos

I like how Edd is giving a realistic process for trouble shooting and completing repairs. One thing that always seemed a bit unrealistic on Wheeler Dealers was the speed at which they completed repairs, where a massive list of jobs get done in only 23 man hours.

Watching Edd fix a Willy's Jeep on Wheeler Dealers while watching Edd on youtube....life is good 👍👍👍

I am so glad you have started this channel. It's exactly what I wanted after wheeler dealers. I was always more interested in the workshop stuff. Your encouragement has allowed me to continue with a SAAB Carlsson rebuild that I've been doing for 10 years. Family things got in the way...now that I've more time, it's a pleasure to go into the garage and finish all the small things left.

Such a treat having weekly content from Ed!!

Edd you always have been and always will be awesome. I just hope you can afford this fantastic cameraman.

Very professional without skimping on the detail and dumbing things down. Fantastic!

Only Edd China can make replacing and rewiring a switch interesting and very watchable 😁

Edd I can not say how much I miss you on Wheeler Dealer. I refuse to watch new episodes with out you in them. In my opinion you are the person who made that show so successful. Mike was just the whinny baby with the deep pockets. I really am looking forward to watching you on You Tube create the magic.

YES!!!!! This format and pace is perfect. Its what you do best. So glad to see you and your calm expertise back in the garage!!!

Another cool episode, good to have you back on our screens. Long time overdue. Thank you 👍

Missed this type of content that you did for WD, just like the old days 👍

I can only say MAGIC. Thanks Edd another winner.

It's brilliant to get a look over the shoulder all the way through a procedure like fixing the connections on the back of that switch and see all the tiny details included. It's far more realistic than the rushed glossing over required by the Wheeler Dealers format. It's dead interesting to watch how a ninja mechanic solves all these little micro-issues that WD just wouldn't have had time for. Great stuff, Edd.

Considering that you don't have a complete crew, the resulting audio and video quality is really good. I'm enjoying your videos. Also, really glad that you have the time needed to show what you are doing in detail. Really happy how the adventure is turned out.

This is magical. I’m loving the detail and lack of fluff.
