It has been over a year since everyone’s favourite mechanic Edd China announced that he was leaving Wheeler Dealers, and all of you fans out there have been wondering what he’s been up to. Happily, we’ve finally got some good news for you – he’s back!
That’s right – Edd China is returning to our screens with what he hopes will become a new series called Edd China’s Garage Revival. In each episode, Edd will work with car owners whose restoration projects have got the better of them and help get their plans back on track. What a great guy our Edd is?
In the pilot episode, we’ll see Edd travel to Norway to visit car enthusiast Stian Jørgensen and help restore his VW Golf GTI MK1 back to its former glory.
We’ve got a sneak preview video for you above, and the full episode will be available May 1st on Edd China’s Garage Revival YouTube channel.

Brewer is just a brash Essex barrow boy with an overinflated ego. He will milk it for as long as he gets away with it. Latterly, I use the mute button to drown him out. He is though marginally less annoying than that other asshole, Tim Shaw. I suspect money was the real reason behind the break up. Brewer taking all the cash but Edd doing all the work. The early shows were enjoyable with equal roles but, progressively, Brewer took over and visibly pissed off Edd more and more until he left. I think Brewer genuinely thinks he is the star of the show? And why did he call Edd ‘my Grease Monkey’ which I am sure annoys more than me? Edd is well-educated and a fine technician. Edd needs his own show but he also needs a partner.
Needs to do better if he wants a mainstream deal.
Ed is a genius – end of. Good luck mate great education.
I really liked the pilot program and would like to see Edd do a full series. Always enough room on TV for a good car rebuild program.
Mike Brewer is one of the most annoyjng shits l have ever experienced, full of repeatitive lines “go on lets have a deal” ” how’s our little —–” should stay with portraying the role of Toad of Toad Hall as he is the master of “poop poop”.
Edd was the talent of the shows and should be presenting a program worth his skills without the mindless little beach ball hanging on.
Hi, I was only thinking the same. Wheeler Dealer reminds me of “Wind in the Willow”s”. Mike Brewer is Toad of Toad Hall and Edd China with his striped, grey hair is the wise and sensible Badger. They were a good team. I just loved the wonderful fun and humour. I still watch the repeats.

Hi my name is salman and i watched loads of weeler dealers zhows becauze edd really k ows how to make if interesting with out making it up but doing all fhe work showing you how its done he is fantastic ,
But now i need his help i havw a merc 220 s please my number is 07931346114
Salman it 1960 220s and needs a lot of work .
How about Edd linking up with stars who have their first car needing rescuing Mat Baker’s dad has an old dodge on his farm.
I alway’s enjoyed Ed’s mechanical repairs and especially his fault diagnosis. But Brewer is just a buffoon with No respect for motor vehicles, he annoyingly yanked handbrakes on, slammed bonnets, doors and boots and worst of all would rag every vehicle he drove. I wont be watching the New series of Wheeler Dealers without Ed China.
The wheeler dealer show was in my top 5 best and very sad to hear the show has ended with Mike left in it, it should have been Edd, much more interesting guy and very informative,looking forward to watch what Edd will do, How about a pimp my ride sort of show, my car first lol.good luck Edd. pete-Don-Elli.
I would only watch WDs for Edd’s brilliant presentation alongside his fixes – you’d want Edd to service YOUR car. Brewer was just an annoying brash gobshite. Given that Edd did all the work it always pissed me off that Brewer would say “WE” restored this car. He can’t even talk properly. He is an irritating up himself bore.
Edd however is class. A mechanic magician. I have learnt so much from his repairs – how things work and why.
I could watch him all day whereas Brewer belongs in a pig pen with his kind.
Edd was the star of that show; engaging, technically astonishing and damn good tutor.
I wish Edd all the best and hope Brewer goes back to his shabby forecourt where he can destroy the Queen’s English whilst insulting people.
I always like Edd’s bits best I used to fast forward Mikes bits
Wheeler dealer ran for ages I’ve watched nearly every episode was a great team that’s why it was so successful .Edd is the one fir me though with his knowledge and advice we didn’t see too much of him ..I hope his new show gets aired soon as I will be a watcher ..I dont dislike Mike brewer as he was a part of the show that showed you can make money out of restoring good cars getting them at a cheaper price. Although they gone separate ways I hope they both do well ..
Brewer, quite literally, did bugger all but the old geezer malarkey. His runners found all the parts. You know he spent little or no energy on his jaunts as his weight burgeoned, the oik.
I wish Edd well with the show rescuing other people’s projects. Seems like a great concept, minus a wee fat fecker.
Edd is a likeable and knowledgeable expert who made Wheeler Dealers what it was (note I say WAS). Brewer could just as well have been selling vacuum cleaners for all the knowledge that he contributed to the show.

I have always found Mike Brewer to be an arrogant shit, not a likeable chap at all, but how the show ran I could just put up with his bull, he is your typical salesman with little or no knowledge just a vast amount of double talk and general BS, on the other hand Edd China obviously a man who enjoys his chosen trade as Mechanic, and shines as a man who knows what he’s about without any need for BS, able to explain in terms so the man on the street can understand and follow, without doubt Edd carried the show not Brewer, I applaud Edd for his stance of refusing to be pushed into a corner by the production team by way of cost cutting or is it corner cutting. The new show I have watched and found it less than up to it, yet another motoring show falls by the roadside due to know nothing up their own arse money grabbing burocrates, file wheeler dealers next to Top Gear and close the box.
I think Ed China is a extremely talented mechanic but- THINGS CHANGE. I feel Ant is doing an excellent job and is an extremely talented mechanic as well.
As far as Mike Brewer is concerned- Just going out purchasing a car for the show is far more work than he’s given credit for. Research, planning, and knowing the current market all plays into the show.
Like everyone else I was disappointed that Ed left the show but Ant has filled the position very nicely. I continue to watch and support Wheeler Dealers.
Must say don’t watch wheeler dealers no more the new guy Ant sickly to watch.(sorry but show lost with out Edd China the true star ) Edd needs to be back on TV Mike Brewer you’ve made a big mistake losing Edd .
Just watched an old episode of wheeler dealers with edd doing his sterling work. I don’t watch it anymore as they ruined it. That new guy is more for kids tv. Hope to see edd back on a popular tv channel soon.
Loved the workshop parts of wheeler dealers and put up with the used car salesman spiff Brewer. Will keep looking for Edd on shows down under.
Any updates on Edds newest exploits?? VELOCITY of not the same without Edd!!
Ed I see that they are playing the older Wheeler shows. I hope your getting some of the money! for the replays.
Also It was great seeing you on the TV again! Hope you do get your own show also!
I lot of people still miss you on the TV!
All the Best!

EDD, Great to see you are back to doing what you really enjoy doing. Also making a paying living for you and your family. I will watch Thank, your friend Mike
The sooner that Ed’s new show goes mainstream the better. A great and knowledgeable mechanic who has a lot of respect for those less fortunate. One thing though Ed do not let Brewer anywhere near your program, his claims of “WHAT HE HAD DONE” were absolutely disgusting. Good Luck Ed.
Rubbish. I agree Edd’s Programme should be mainstream but there’s no need to be disparaging about Mike Brewer. Unless you’re 6, there is no need to choose sides
Edd. Eddie. Edward.
You are a legend and a gent I really hope you get scooped up by some network or other to make a fascinating show about car fixing. Your work on Wheeler Dealers was easily the best part of the show and it’s sad that the producers didn’t see that.
I like Ant too and I think he has more potential than the show is letting him show. It seems they have him simplifying everything to a basic level for the American audience. It’s clear he has knowledge but it’s being stifled by Velocity.
If people don’t like the show now then maybe just don’t watch it . Life’s too short to be raging online about stuff you can’t change
Brewer really does nothing but buy a car and then take the credit for it being restored , where as Ed’s the backbone of the programme and a pleasure to watch.
Why all the Criticism, Mike and Ed, were a good team, entertaining to watch , and Ed was obviously very knowledgeable.. Ant and Mike were just as enjoyable and I think given time we will find Ant is just as knowledgeable.. But the crunch is Ed`s manner charm and personality is sadly missed and there I definitely room and need for both programmes on main stream TV
Exactly. Room for both. Quit your whinging!
I tried watching wd but can’t stand the phonetic used car salesmen big bull artist no warmth or honesty. You lost me as a viewer. Al in Massachusetts U
It’s great to see Edd putting on his orange latex gloves and getting down and dirty with all things oily. Cmon get the old China back on tv.
Harsh on Ant; he’s doing a sound job. But there’s definitely room for an Edd show too.
Good luck Ed, personally I can’t stand Mr Brewer and the show was the car, the “fix” not some dodgy car dealer
Edd was the best,I was myself a automechanic ,but edd knowledge is absolut amazing.I miss him on TV,forget the stupid brewer.
We really enjoyed Edd’s pilot episode. Can’t wait to watch more. It’s brilliant watching such skill and know how. Looking forward to more episodes!
ed china got me into cars.he’s got a talent for teaching and could even help kids love engineering!
I’m not up with media or TV or how it works . Please someone tell me why the new Edd programme is not on mainstream TV? I’m sure there’s a good reason and or something to do with more money can be earnest from US markets…
Judging by the episode length I’d say the show has been made with mainstream TV in mind, but it most likely hasn’t been picked up by a network yet.
Edd was most certainly the only part of the show worth watching ; earlier shows now showing in Australia watch all of them ,wouldn’t waste my time with the new season,Brewer is just useless and Ant tries hard but will never measure up to Edd ( pun intended) so bring back Edd in this new show .Garage Revival it would be a huge success
I quit watching Wheeler Dealer when I was not enjoying Ed China’s replacements. I ran across the program in the Dish Guide. I saw Ed’s name along with Mike’s and thought Ed was back. So I set it to record the show which I am now watching. Unfortunately, it is not true that Ed is back. I don’t know why why his name shows on the Dish Guide, but I am about to erase my record series request. Apparently Velocity didn’t do any research before they decided Ed’s personality wasn’t important to the show. But they found a place for the blonde bimbo daughter on Graveyard Cars. Come on Velocity. What are you thinking.
No body wants to see fat Mike Brewer belittle customers anymore. Why don’t you air Edd China’s new show. Done with wheeler Cheaters.
We have watched Edd China when his show first came out. Thank you Edd for being you, don’t ever give up.
Ed was Wheeler Dealers whilst most people found brewer irritating and to be honest irrelevant. Please can some TV station get him signed up quickly do he can get back to doing what he does so well
Great to hear Edd is back… I love watching his work and his knowledge of engineering is absolutely fascinating and priceless. We need this on TV as it will definitely gain viewers.
I watched wheeler dealers religiously, can’t stand the new series Edd was always the STAR 🌟
We need Edd!
Love Edd’s style, knowledge, and talent at explanation. Hope to see this on TV – will definitely watch! Wheeler Dealers is boring now, unwatchable.
Great news, the good lady does not understand anything re cars. But she loves Edd China’s approach and would happily watch. Get this show mainstream.
Come on Velocity, Wheeler Dealers is horrid now. Please replace it with Edd China’s Garage Revival. I can guarantee you will triple your ratings for the time slot.
Cmon Ed, the best mechanic on the planet….and a great tv personality
To good for u-tube belongs on velocity
It’ll no doubt end up on TV sometime soon – it has definitely been filmed with TV in mind.
Come back Edd
A giant amongst mechanical midgets!
I will defo be watching this 🙂
Great. And without that irritating cunt Brewer !!
Brewer really is a twat where Edd has the dignity to say nothing , what brewers problem was Edd was getting more airtime than the fat slug himself, what a petulant little shit.
Odd, then, that Mr Brewer remains part of a sussesful show?
Not odd at all, mate. Brewer was willing to sell himself and do whatever the corporate know-nothings wanted, so he stayed on the show. Edd wanted to show people the ACTUAL WORK being done on the car, but Discovery Velocity weren’t interested. Pretty simple if you ask me.
You’ve clearly not watched any of the Ant Anstead shows then. Nothing at all against Edd and I hope to see him back soon. But Ant and Mike continue to do a good job and with similar technical content. There’s room for both.
No, I won’t watch the show without Edd because I feel that strongly about Brewer throwing Edd to the wolves. My loss maybe, but Brewer is an annoying turncoat, in my opinion. Never really liked him, so when he didn’t support Edd, the writing was on the wall for me.
Too right!
Hi well Edd is promoting a book today in Birmingham. Me and Pete always enjoyed Wheeler Dealers and were sad when he left. The format had already been changing. I am hoping to get advice on my husbands Volkie. It’s been with us over 20 years so do I scrap it or get a person to give it a home. Hopefully Edd will give me some advice. Christina
i agree, all the best edd, because you are the best !
Ed China is the man. Forget the midget Brewer, a total waste of space.
