The new series of scrap heap challenge demonstrated the advantages of diesel power. They both used diesel engines to power an underwater car, minimal modification to them. Mainly extended pipes for the air intake and the exhaust. The winner was a Isuzu Trooper powered by a ZX td motor bolted in the middle!!

The wife saw this and still thinks it's camera trickery. Have left her with a small book about how diesels work. Great episode.

anyone know if they show repeats of scrapheap fairly soon after the original? like how topgear would be shown sunday night and be repeated monday (later)night.
