[Munson]

Great video!

 

[Christopher.]

[Ash']

Real mechanics there. All done by hand and a bit of brute , then a good o'l smoke afterwards. The driver didn't even say thanks, asshole.

 

[david hodson]

Not a buzz gun in sight , great work

 

[uk300matt]

[Ollie82.]

They weren't playing games there. Epic vid.

 

[Chris205]

Awesome work that, imagine if you got that service down your local dealership

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol that's epic

Be pretty handy for changing Clio gearboxes? The labour would be about a tenner

 

[Chris205]

I think if you paid fixed prices for everything instead of an hourly rate the mechanics would get there arse into gear and earn more 'bonus'

 

[Skeeter]

I've got no audio at work, how long did it actually take them to change the gearbox?

15/16 mins

Great vid.

 

[Munson]

About ten minutes, unless the video was edited, which it doesn't appear to be.

 

[The_Pirate]

LOL, thats awesome!

 

[Christopher.]

Rothmans should have used it as a smoking advert. John looks so cool at the end

 

[JackJack]

I think he says 16 at around 8.06

 

[Tez.]

Noticed that too - arrogant sod - assuming he said nothing elsewhere?

Failing that, I'd radio the co-driver when they were a few miles down the road and tell them I have seven bolts in my pocket, that look fairly 'important'.

D.

 

[JoeyD]

Brilliant! Proper mechanics. Looks like very hard work to get everything done that quickly.

Couldn't have done it without a Rothmans - Flol!

Yeah, or tell the co driver that you where 'unsure if the new gearbox had any oil in it'.

:evil:

 

[James28]

Excuse my ignorance, awesome video, but why were they doing it/who were they ?

no it was real enough - did 3 or 4 stages with only 3rd gear before the swop could be set up - I think in the rush the van(s) got a bit lost in amman - hired taxis to follow and had only a few minutes to set up before the job started - there are 2 videos - the "proper" one used in the main rally video and the ds xmas special with all the added bits unsuitable for general showing!

that video was made by barrie hinchliffe and was the 1988 jordan rally end of leg 2 with saeed al hajri - the box change took about 16 minutes

Source,

Quite interesting

A*

bloody brilliant! As said proper mechanics earning their moolah there!

 

[Budgie]

Meh.

Failsport have done quicker. (;

IIRC, a Subaru rally car is about 6-7 mins for a box change.
