Mike bought a Peugeot 205gti in this episode, and whilst driving it back to Ed his mechanic, the car started belching out clouds of smoke.
A sloppy gear linkage was repaired and Ed stated near the end of the program that repairing the linkage had cured the smoking.
I am not a mechanic but, I cant see how an external repair not connected in any way to the engine, can cure a car not to belch smoke.

I've no idea. I watched one where they did up a Merc SLK. Used their TV influence to get the parts cheap. Had a couple of days free top mechanicing and then bragged about selling it for a profit! What a load of tosh.
That's a really old one!

Edd China is actually a top mechanic and does know his stuff (mike brewer needs a punch in the face or two!)

It's a TV program, this car was covered on various other forums quite extensively and it seems it had a cracked block that was sorted but that bit was "edited" out for the TV program.
Edd may well be a top mechanic Chuck, but he needs to submit his bill before fatbloke does his schtick to camera about "turning a profit"

Days of workshop time FOC?

Do me a fayva.
I do agree, Douglas, the program is stupid because they don't take labour into account.

Edd hold several world records for his creations though :)

The premise of the program is that the work is to be done by a home enthusiast. It's patently obvious that most of the repairs would lose money if true commercial rates were factored in. Far from "stupid" I find it a very informative and useful program and Ed has certainly inspired me to do jobs I would never have attempted before.
-- answer removed --
I like the program but why OH why does Ed use the term " A shinny New Bolt / washer/Part? regards Mike, he would be better off selling Ice Cream at Blackpool.
I f the premis of the programme is to encourage enthusiastic amateurs, why do they have one of the country's top mechanics doing the work?
err to show them how it's done??
Does Ed China have his own business outside of the programme ?
