The description (even though a bit vague) on the show was entirely plausible, as was the way that Hammond described having to effect gear changes without the clutch. Have done it myself with many vehicles.[/QUOTE]
I'm doing that at the moment in my '95 defender because my new slave cylinder is yet to show up. I really can't wait until it arrives!!!!:mad:
Know where you're coming from mate. Master cylinder in my Disco died a while back on the way down to Perth. Drove from around Northam into Perth and around for a day or so with no clutch until I could get it in for replacement of both master and slave. I learnt that LR clutches can be a mongrel to bleed.Quote:

And good on them for creating an interesting and yet semi-informative program that has brought car fantasies to the masses. It is not for the purists, 5th gear is more orientated to that task..
Just can't wait for the new series to appear:)
I thought it was very entertaining:D The river crossing was not scripted cause my rangie does the same thing in the drink just look at my user photo not bogged, stopped, started after a couple of minutes and drove out happens all the time:(
