Out of all of the programs I have watched (seen them all) and that was the most boring episode they have ever done (and its not because its a quattro) as they have done a lot of cars that I like or would like to own.

Basically they did sod all to it really, painted the front and back bumpers didn't even take them off the car???? (never talked the indicator lens change or adding the pin stripes), changed the clutch reservoir and bled the clutch system to fix a bad clutch pedal - lucky fix? - I suspect the master was gone really and they never showed or admitted to replacing it as why would there be a new part there and the car has dirty clutch fluid? Bodging the drivers seat and replacing the rear wheel bearings.....

Hmmm, that's a shame as (guilty secret time) I actually rather enjoy the series.
Not necessarily due to any technical merit, but I've happily spent many an afternoon watching most of the previous episodes.
Particulary liked the Fiat 500 one (seemed to do a thorough job on that), and the 635CSI, 928 and Range Rover.
Bit of a giggle, and it's funny how Ed makes it look all so simple!
