Edd Takes On The Task Of Restoring This Jaguar XJS | Wheeler Dealers 

Edd, you legend! You made it look so easy, when it most assuredly was not. An incredible work ethic.

Edd China was the dude.......

Good for you. I'm one of the ones that really likes the styling of the XJS. Quite apart from anything else, nobody can mistake it for anything other than a Jag. I'm not so sure about the more recent offerings.

Am I the only one that loves XJS’s?

It's just not the same without Edd

To me show was about Ed, miss old european cars..

Good veneering, I did not expect it to come out that good. Usual practice is to flatten the veneer first by soaking it and pressing. I built a custom dashboard and that took 18 coats of yacht varnish.

Edd doing tricky excellent stuff..the only reason I liked the show

You are a clever chap Ed! Enjoy your ingenuity.

This was a really cool episode!

You give us hope. Hope that a Classic car can be sorted by normal people. Nice one.

This was a favourite episode of mine. I like the Jag XJS, got to drive one during a visit to the UK

I've had two xjs jaguars. You can peal the headliner off the backing and glue new fabric on it if you can't get a complete headliner. Less expensive. Two yards of fabric and some high temperature spray adhesive. I know this car inside out from working on it.

I miss Edd.

Wheeler Dealers was so much better with Edd

Love the early episodes, my childhood

Ed China always makes it look easy, he's a genius.

Wonderful how you did the restauration!

If only it were this easy in REAL life!

£1000 for a working Jaguar XJS. The cheapest I can find (In Norway, mind you) is £8700 right now.. and THAT is a car that works, but still requires some work. I have no idea about the general condition of it other than what is shown on pictures. There's also one for £7500, but that is pre HE.. and a Jaguar XJS pre HE type will be even more of a nightmare to run, maintain and fuel. I still want one. I find those cars to have a sort of charm to them that crosses the line between Grand Tourer and Muscle. It's not a muscle car, but with that look it might well be one.. and I love that. It's the sort of car that would go splendidly well along with some good ol' rock tunes.

Beautiful cars! I absolutely love an XJS!

back during my romance with Audis, I had the usual headliner problem. I was able to find headliner fabric at a local fabric store. Had it in 5-6 colors.

Edd is getting his knob thoroughly polished in the comments

One of my all times fave cars.

Just watched the full episode on DMAX. The replacement headliner had loose sags in it.

We bought a 1K XJS, Lets sort out the centre console first and all the structural welding it needs can be done later! Lol.

Genius Edd, even with wood!

Ever tried to do spark plug on the v12 engine?hilarious job 😂

Where did you get the headliner???

Any more restoration the the jag like carpets seats engine etc I loked this video but also felt lacking somehow

I wish I had someone exactly like Edd China to fix up all my classic, old cars. I also wish I had a bunch of classic, old cars....and could afford to pay Edd China to fix them up.

Hello, My 86 XJS interior is a medium delft blue. That is the mfgs color. Where can I get fabric to redo the door pillars and side wall cards? Thank you!

Ed made the show. I always found Mike a bit shifty.

Edd was just a natural on TV. He also got to do all the best cars rather than recent flaky U.S. pick ups etc.

Edd ROCKS.

Headlining same problem in my 1990 Volvo 740 saloon. Anyone know where to source new headliners for that car or any solutions to fix? Cheers

So what about the "DING" in the nearside wing no mention of that in the costing???

Last mot’ed in 2013, failed big time.

What the hell kind of sockets is he using?? Never seen nothing like it

Where can i watch the full episode of this video?

I don't understand why all the veneer pieces weren't pulled and redone, so they would all in fact be the same DARK color they were when new (note the original dark color along the trailing edge of the center ski slope piece when he holds it up). Otherwise, it will be a bit like "whack-a-weasel" as the other pieces continue to fade over time - needing to redo them one at a time as they do.

Everything turned out fine... no need to mention thier separation.

Would of been good to know what year the car is.

nhìn là thấy đồng tâm

realize old video, but if ever need to remove veneer, like edd did, warm it up good, with a heat gun, soften the adhesive

See1.51. You need a sticker ! They are made in china ( i know ..made in china sucks ) but they have a sticker backing and are simulated wood. It will stick with precision and all details cut out from the front so you can make it perfect.

I remember the Jaguar XJS.

Edd, what a consummate professional. My XJS was constantly and constantly in the shop, costing huge $’s, worse than the XJ6. Stick to German engineering, I’ve had no luck with British Vehicles.

Ive seen the new guy.....then I go back and watch Edd. Its Edd for the win. I cant put my finger on why it is, but I could watch Edd all day long.

I don't want to watch this cuz of you Mike I like Ed

I miss Ed also

Why did Edd leave?

Is this the whole episode? An XJS without any mechanical problems?

Wery nise kar 👍

We get lots of half or less of a story. Where is the rest?

I miss this original mechanic

By kink EDD 😃😃

không biết tiếng anh buồn thật.

I hope this is being used as a good parts car lol

Not the same without Ed.

this programme always annoyed me. often they would send jobs out to other people to do or not show you how to do it yourself (like remaking seat covers from scratch) or they would buy in new/reconditioned (like engines) rather than rebuild it themselves. but the ONE thing that annoyed me MOST of all, was many times id see a car which, including parts would stand them at, say, £18,000. then they would sell the car for £20,000. and then make a big deal about the £2,000 'profit' they made. so, for those of us in the real world, does the mechanic not get paid? ever? who pays the mechanics bills if that £2,000 'profit' you made on the car and the parts you bought? im fairly certain that the hours put in (in some of the vehicles i saw) would come to WELL over £2,000 (or whatever the 'profit' margin was) so in reality, unless you ARE a mechanic AND retrimmer AND painter, how have you REALLY made ANY profit??? the episode shown is one of the few ive seen where they actually RESTORE something. ANYONE can buy a van full of bits and bolt it into a car. most semi competent DIY welders/mechanics can go out, buy panels and fit them. how about MAKING things. buy something where you CANT just throw money at it, but have to make your own (especially if you arent taking the mechanics time into account with the costs, or all the sundries such as welding supplies, adhesives etc) panels or adaps things to fit? that would be MUCH more interesting!

Look up "Edd China" to find Edd doing his own thing.

Forget WD without Ed.

An immaculate XJS V12 Convertible = 100,000 pounds by 2030.

cố định

I miss Edd !

ok

Is there nothing this man cant do

1 grand for that, you got mugged off mate.

I Miss edd .🙂

Bit of a mincey look there from China on the thumbnail

What about the engine? We don't even get to hear or see it? What's the point of an XJS but the V12? Superb style but, so are some Grandfather clocks.

Esed'e imposebel

should get rid of chubbs and have Ant and Edd host it.

This was a great series. They really should get a couple of new mechanics and revamp it. Edd is pleasant enough but no real personality. It would be nice to have a couple of guys who can add some real spark to it.

Start with 100 ft of vacuum line. You know what's worse than a Jag. A Jag with a flat tire.

No Ed, no wheeler dealers👎🏻

Mike is nothing without Edd am glad he quit

Brewer manages to be annoying saying Click Here to Subscribe

No veneer in ere

Edd, we miss you. Where are you now? Do you have a new show? BTW your replacement 'Ant' is a bit of a poser.

điểm xuất phát và đích

no good without Ed

🤗👍👏

now just replace the engine

The show isn’t the same

Why do you insist on only showing half an episode from the old series? So bloody irritating!

🤔👁️👍🕊️❤️👼

The show sux w/o Ed!

those XJS had engines that are a nightmare to figure out what is wrong with them... apparently this one still worked.. but most XJS you find on the market probably are not, and have been sitting around for 10, 15 years .. getting those cars 'sorted' with the original engine is a nightmare(not to mention Xpensive!).. most just rip out the engine and replace it with a chevy 350.

Junk.

Who's that guy? We want Ant back.

Mike buys a piece of shit and Edd does all the work.

Post the whole video you wanker

If this was the whole show, it was one of the least interesting I've seen.

Trying to grab a few likes and subs by using a clip with ed ? Wow....

A waste of time and money...

attention, soon all gas cars will be forbidden in EU!!!

I didn't watch the complete video. But its Ed China. I MISS ED. The show today isn't worth watching.
