Edd China has left the Wheeler Dealers and Mike is filming the new season with another mechanic. Hmmm... Edd will be missed. I can’t be the same without him.

Why have Edd China when you can have STUD MECHANIC who can change a tire with just his pecs?

There can be no WD without Edd. I think I’ve seen just about every episode, at least since it went to an hour-long show. I’ll give it a shot, but I’m dubious. Maybe it’s just time for the show to end. They’ve had a great run.

Is that the new mechanic?
Because that man is way more handsome than Edd.

Noooooo!!! Let’s just hope Edd will start making his own programs, in which he gets much more time to cover all the technicalities.

By now, it’s getting hard to come up with an affordable, cool European car they haven’t done. Quit while you’re winning?

Damn, Edd was my favorite person on the show! It won’t be the same without him!

Mike’s FB post said something along the lines of him following other projects.

Seems like it. I think I’ve seen him in some other British car show???

That sucks, but isn’t too terribly surprising. Edd does a lot of side work and runs a business iirc. I remember reading a while back that he didn’t expect WD to last as long as it did and that he honestly preferred working out of the eye of the camera. Maybe it was just time.

Exactly. I found the series on American cars to be rather boring, honestly. But it probably wan’t so for their European audience.

I’ve long had the feeling that Edd was not happy on the show. Also Mike did that version of WD where he traded his was up to a ‘super car’ by trading cars all over the world. I long suspected that series of shows was due to Edd not being happy.

Edd just released a video revealing some of his reasons for leaving. It essentially equates to the further dumbing down of programming.

Couldn’t we have at least gotten “My mate Paul” to replace Edd?

Got it! It’s Ant Anstead from “For the love of cars” which actually was quite a good car repair/resto show.

But Paul doesn’t speak! We don’t know if he even has vocal cords, all we know is that he’s the Stig of giving a helping hand while wrenching.

Yup, that’s him. I’ll have to check out that show also.

I didn’t realize the show still existed. I stopped watching when they went to the States. It got too dumbed down then (and the cars less interesting and less attainable).

I’m betting Edd has forgotten more McGyver type repairs on vintage vehicles than “The New Guy” has ever learned. His ability to come up with a fix for long gone parts was remarkable.

The new guy is Ant Anstead from “For the love of cars” which was actually quite a good car repair/resto show, so he’s not a complete noob.

Since it’s buried in the comments, that guy is Ant Antstead, and he was on For the Love of Cars , another really good car restoration show.
