Hey y'all!
Been lurking in this sub for a few weeks now as I'm hoping to restore an old CJ-7 we've had for a while now. I have zero automotive experience, so this sub is helping me to develop my C-legs (ehh, ehhhhh? C'mon!) In doing some research, I came across an earlier episode of Wheeler Dealers where they work to restore a CJ-7 of their own. While it may not provide much of an education, it provides some fine entertainment. Just thought some of y'all may enjoy this 2-part episode!

Thank you again to all y'all for the help. I hope to join the community soon!
It's a clip show of some highlights of the current season, with some behind the scenes and some outtakes. It's okay when they're not reading the script in the workshop trying to act like it's spontaneous. PM me if you want a free and fast download Mega link.
Hi All,
Does anyone know where I might find the "Top 5" Episodes (80s Icons, American Icons, Micro Cars, Performance Cars, Viewer's Choice) and the Sverige Special?
They are listed in Wikipedia but I can't seem to find anything on them or links to watch them.
Thanks for any help.
I've never been one to fast-forward through shows, but the latest seasons of Wheeler Dealers have changed me.
There's just so much filler: the intro is just a summary of what you're going to see, so it's completely unnecessary. Every time you come back from a commercial, you've gotta listen to Mike recap what's just happened even though it literally happened 3 minutes ago. The end of the show where we see the finished product now spans two commercial breaks, and almost always feels artificial and cringe-inducing.
And now, worst of all, Ant will be in the middle of explaining how something works, and Mike will interrupt him! And then they never go back to what Ant was talking about! Is this supposed to be amusing? All it does is piss me off.
I'm sure Mike and his Twitter followers will already be calling me a hater or saying I'm jealous or something, however, I actually like watching the bits where Mike goes to an independent craftsman to get specialized work done. That stuff is interesting and educational. So it's not that I just hate Mike's face or something, I just hate this artificial crap they insist on injecting into the show.
Wheeler Dealers is (was) unique and special among car shows because it didn't have all the fake drama! Now there's so much inane pablum to skip, I can finish an episode in about 30 minutes.
According to my cable guide they're playing the 924 episodes at 8, and then something from series 8; a Jag E-type. So you know... at least an episode from THIS year.
Oh and they made it a full hour rather than splitting it in to two parts.
Edit - I did some digging and found via thetvdb that the issue lied in two seasons (14&15) both being tagged as Season 14. Thereafter season 15 was actually 16 and so on up until the current season (18). Not surprisingly this was right around the time of all the change in the show. But regardless I did some manually renaming and then did a refresh and all the metadata/posters are correct again!
Moving forward it looks like I will have to use thetvdb as a reference and manually name the episodes as filebot doesn't seem to be able to figure it out since the network for whatever reason wanted to split the seasons up to make the show have 21 seasons even though by thetvdb it only has 18.
If anyone comes across this post and needs help I can share the breakdown of the episodes by season if need be.
~ORIGINAL POST~
Does anyone else have this show on their servers? If so how are you ordering the episodes?
The problem is that every source you find online has the seasons/episodes ordered differently, so it has really thrown the metadata for a loop. Imdb, thetvdb, Wikipedia, the shows own website. They are all different. Some have 17 seasons, some 19 seasons , some 21 seasons.
Backstory: Last year the show was on Velocity which was owned by Discovery. That channel was rebranded to Motor Trend Network. This was the point when all of the seasons/episodes changed and messed it up.
My issue is I had all the episodes and seasons named properly to where the metadata was correct, but after the rebrand everything is all screwed up.
PS - I am using Filebot to rename. None of the sources there for TV match anything I see online.
I am posting this so that hopefully YTTV engineers will see it and fix it. I knew that a new season of Wheeler Dealers (on Motortrend) had started recently. But it never showed up under “New in your library”. I started digging around and realized that the new episodes were under “Extras” instead of showing up as a new season as they should be. And obviously YTTV isn’t recognizing them as new episodes even though they are.
I’ve reported it via the mechanism within YTTV but I wanted to throw this out here as well.
While I’m at it, The Graham Norton Show on BBCA just started a new season and it never shows up under “New in your library” either. 😒
Edit: It sounds like it is MULTIPLE shows on MotorTrend exhibiting this behavior. Hopefully YTTV can look into what guide data issues they may be having.
I signed up for the service specifically for wheeler dealers. When I go to watch older episodes, they seem to be out of order and/or missing some. I went to see season 6 episode 9 & 10 featuring the Jaguar XJ-S. It shows episode 9 as something else and cuts season six short before skipping to season 9? Is this intentional because of licensing issues or a bug?
This has been one of the best automotive shows. The departure of Edd China was a huge loss. I am however pleasantly surprised by Ant Anstead. He’s not Edd (who could be) but he seems like a good fabricator, and is enjoyable to watch. I only hope they keep the focus that they are on the work aspect and don’t gradually take it to the usual “drama” “deadline” focus of every other show. Of course I DESPISE Mike Brewer and fast forward through every one of his parts. Your thoughts.
Hi all, not sure if you all have seen this TV carshow, if not id strongly recommend you to give it a go..
So many nice classic cars.

Hey guys this is our latest upload. We've been at this for a few months now, and some people have said we are like the HGTV of the automotive media space. One of our subscribers likens us to the show Wheeler Dealer that has been on TV for like a decade.
Self Review: our color correction and audio quality still needs some work, and we're trying to figure it out. Also, with this episode things got a little technical/dry right in the middle, but we were having a hard time balancing the value of the content vs the entertainment value. Eh - always learning. I know a 25 minute youtube video is long, but please give it a watch and let us know what you think. Thank you!

I came across an episode of Wheeler Dealers last night that featured a 2001 WRX. I thought it was a great episode, until the vinyl work at the end. It was season 7, episode 9 in case you want to look it up.
Title
The other day a thought popped into my head: I haven't managed a single team from the bottom league to the top-flight since I led the mighty Dagenham & Redbridge to intercontinental glory in FM14. Since then, I've stuck to the standard (yet engrossing) journeyman saves. From avoiding relegation with an obscure Portuguese team to dethroning the likes of PSG from the top spot with Lyon within 7-8 seasons. So I decided to embark on a new challenge: A Free Agents/Free Transfers Only Challenge.
The Premise
Inspired by Hiding From The Queen's "Trotter's Free Transfer Co." who did something similar, the overall goal is to reach the Premier League by only using free transfers. I can only bring in players and staff to the club if the transfer and compensation costs are a grand sum of zero. Unlike the other challenge, we have established a club that will be our vessel from the depths of footballing obscurity to the pinnacle of sporting greatness: Free Agents FC, affectionately known as The Wheeler Dealers.
(note: I used Create-A-Team Mode as I have no idea how/can't be arsed to use the editor)
The London-based club will replace Braintree Town (sorry to any Braintree supporters out there) and will have a local rivalry with every London club from the top-tier to tier 6. But who will be leading the club to these lofty heights? Arise, Sir Mark Down-Price.
Free Agents FC's first manager.
Rules
- Only sign players and staff if they are free.
- No loan signings whatsoever.
- Can pre-sign players who are approaching the end of their contracts on the basis that there is no fee involved.
- If sacked, a new manager can be created to take over the team.
Long-Term Targets
- Win one of the following: FA Cup, League Cup, FA Trophy, Papa John's Trophy
- Win a league title
- Win the PL League
- Qualify for a European Competition
- Win the CL League
- Make £500m in profit from player sales
The Beginning, Signings and Tactics
*As a quick disclaimer, I acknowledge that the first few seasons will be relatively simple as you can find good quality free agents in the early seasons. Once the club reaches the Championship it may become more of a challenge. Also, I haven't
... keep reading on reddit ➡So the new season has started since moving back to the UK, but those of us here in the US still don't have access to the new episodes? Why is that? And when can we expect the new episodes to be released here?
