Watched this.

Lovely colour the Jag though, sounded nice too.

Am glad someone else thought it was still smoking on the trip to Oxford, I thought I could see smoke but couldn't be sure.

How about "the hole in the floor" though - what a mystery that was! Edd said he had been all over the underside and couldn't find anything, yet he finds a very strange slit in one of the exhaust downpipes and suggested that this was in fact the mystery hole in the floor.

Was it just me or did that slit look just like someone had hammered a screwdriver blade into the metal? It must have been done very recently too as there was no sooting or carbon around this "hole". Most odd, but I guess that's television for you?

That still looked pretty damn smoky at the end. "if anything goes wrong with it you can bring it back and i'll have my mechanic look at it". I suspect Edd will be changing rings off camera ;)

Just watched it and, having previously seen the comments on this thread, I was looking out for smoke during the trip around Oxford. I couldn't see anything untoward.

There aren't huge clouds but to demonstrate the smoke before they "fixed" it they ran it flat out to produce a cloud of smoke. They didn't do the same after the fix they only ran it at idle on camera.
