38/40 and I'm disappointed.

In all honesty the majority of the questions were kids stuff. Couple of thinkers but the american wording (eg oil pan instead of oil sump) made it more confusing in parts.

100%, you had to be careful of the American terminology. I'm not even an injiear.

Done a Frexit, now in London
39 out of 40

I work in IT, but I've got a penchant for old cars and have restored a few in my time. Only one I got wrong was the speed relation of the cam to the crank which I actually didn't think about, got confused by the numbers.

40/40....mind you i have a BTEC automobile engineering and have been in the trade and drive commercial so perhaps no excuse.... remember folks my lorry run 24 volts so dont ask for a jump start.'

36 made me twitch but no hints needed.

40/40.

All that time spent under a rusty old Triumph Stag was apparently not totally wasted!

Years ago some chap used to put BMW rear LSD's & rear suspension into his and even a M3 3.2 EVO engine..was E36 3 series and E34 5 series circa 1995.....

40/40, lucky guess on the history one, but i would expect anything less as i am a mechanic

I'm out now,been out since 1998 so really would struggle,that said i changed the farther in laws Zafira cambelt 2005 and even 2 weeks ago my mazda 6 developed a miss fire on number 2,got a coil and still did not fix,perhaps i should have swapped them first to see if the coil was needed but time was pushing,got some plugs at the same time,out came 2 and well....nothing left of it,burnt out turned it over to hopefully blow out any bits and put back together.....engine management light went out and been fine ever since..

not bothering to do a compression test because i could not afford to do the work even if it was lower....

all repaired for 79 notes.

Knew a guy in Tongdean Lane that used to do such things. His cars were ridiculous. Wonder if he's still around...

Doubtless he would've scored 25/40 and complained about all the American spelling though!
