UK Royal Marines change Ford Escort engine in 42 seconds

Meanwhile it takes a local mechanic 3 and a half weeks to diagnose what's wrong with an engine

So the engines were just paper-clipped to the chassis with nothing else attached to any other part of the car?

Highly modified car...meh. A well trained pit crew in F1 can change four tires in less than 10 seconds, but there's no way your doing that on a stock model car.

set up, shite wasnt even bolted, they didnt even connect the radiator

Let's see them do an F250.

What decade or you from? F1 pit stops (4 tires changed) are routinely under 3 seconds now with the fastest under 2 seconds. In the refueling era stops were indeed longer.

This might explain why they had such a shitty performance in the Falklands.
