Replacing that annoying Rory with Ed.
Ed China leaving Wheeler dealers :(

How do people continue to miss the point this widely after so many years
There are several posts of this nature in this thread.
So from the sounds of it Ed China wanted to go back to the old formula, (return to a UK focus?) but I'm guessing Mike Brewer failed to back him and sided with the production company about the direction of the show, so left.
It was pretty obvious that when the show got a bigger stage in the US, Brewer wanted to be seen as something more than just the dodgy used car salesman, hence his bigger presence in the workshop in recent episodes.

Edd could see himself being eventually beind pushed out, so it's no real surprise and I don't blame him.
Hopefully he'll come up with something good, albeit on youtube or somewhere else.
Love how in depth he goes, and the hints and tips are very useful silly little things you wouldn't even think of.

Maybe he could pop "down under" and do a special with the Mighty Car Mods guys? Or do some work with colinfurze. I would think either of these youtubers would raise his profile there for his own channel to do quite well. Although he probably wouldn't really need it, it could give a wee bump if he was to start down that road (they 2 channels have over 6 million subscribers between them, and might not be too far off what he does already).

But the new series is all about wheeler dealing with Mike isn't it. That is just the rubbish part. No I haven't seen it.

Same as before really, Ant removed the engine/gearbox and refurbished the turbo.
Changed the Cat and made a 3rd wing for the cossie.

So why push China to leave?
I dunno mate i got the feeling Mike was pushing to do more jobs in the garage but from this latest episode it was business as usual.
He just got the bits as usual and Ant fitted everything.May change in later episodes tho.

I saw a clip on youtube, it was like watching playschool. I was waiting for Humpty to appear.

I don't think he was pushed. He said in a youtube vid that the production company wanted to cut back on filming workshop stuff as that was the most expensive bit (time consuming). The workshop stuff was what Edd was all about really.
So why push China to leave?

Ed China is a top mechanic. His jobs go so smoothly, no rounded off or sheared bolts and he never drops anything.
It's as if the whole thing is staged.

Well I never! Fair play to the show for including this, I've seen loads of wheeler dealers but not this episode.
Saw the whole boxed set on sale for about £30 somewhere, might have to add it to my Christmas list.

Wonder if Discovery will offer him a show on his own, They've announced this week that Aaron from Fast n Loud is getting his own show as the popularity was still there for him.
