I've seen the escos episode. A complete and utter shower of s**t.

Usual bs with original owner buying it back after they have messed it up.

The third spoiler was the original concept.

i did watch it on a link a while back but then saw it in 4k the other night, Ant is not a bad lad but brewer is a very marmite character as are most car tv show hosts tbh, looked a nice car and original rear wing or not in design its pig ugly, not a surprise china bailed out as the format is so US based

That spoiler has got everyone talking. It's horrible. They paid 5k to do the spoiler and test it out for better handling. Why didn't they just fit some proper suspension parts like a 6 degree rear beam??

The oil leak made me laugh. When ant was checking the leak which was in between the box and engine, to me the oil looked clean. Then you see a shot of Ant draining the engine oil out and it looked black to me.

Saw this last night, made me laugh, can’t believe the previous owner bought it back!!

That spoiler is hideous, no wonder ford never fitted it, who cares if it had fractionally more downforce!

And 5k to make it look worse with no real gain, why!?

I’ll miss Ed but Ant seems cool

Cheers Paul

I don't think I would like to strip and rebuild a turbo.

So what did they actually do? A head gasket for no reason other than a slight bit of mayo in the oil cap, a new hand made exhaust system as the rubber mounts were shagged on the old one, cleaned the seats and plugged the headlight back in?

That sounds about right Richie. We are only 2 episodes on and I think this season's wheeler dealers is shite.

I don't think things are getting explained like they used to do.

Exactly why old china left as they were scaling back the technical stuff in favour of more of mikes bs. You actually learnt stuff watching ed china on the earlier wheeler dealers.
