Rather disappointed to be honest, usual over- dramatising of simple problems and lack of detail, plus the usual factual inaccuracies. Watched episode 1 but won’t watch any more.
In this episode there is a Mk1 Cortina with an interesting history, not run for 20 years. After checking it turned by hand (at least they did that!) just chuck a battery on and a gallon of fuel and start cranking. And cranking, and cranking. Eventually stutters to life on a couple of cylinders and they are chuffed to bits. Nothing else shown on the engine as to how they got it running nicely by the end. Then the windscreen removal which was “so tricky and tense as it could shatter at any moment” and was replaced with an “upgraded laminated version which won’t shatter like the old could” . Except the old one was cracked top to bottom so was clearly laminated in the first place, a toughened one would have broken into a million pieces. Mechanic referring to front pads as “brake shoes”, voice over guy saying “he cleans the whole hub” when he gave the rusty discs a quick wire brush etc.
Also the 206GTi, rear light cluster full of water, blamed on the rubber seal to the body letting water in. How does that happen unless the car is full of water? And when it left after being sat in the rain you could clearly see the condensation on the inside of the lens again so only half a job.
Bottom line, I wouldn’t take my cars there!
