In the Series 5 intro as Sam is driving Jupiter down the main street of Pontypandy during the line "...Fireman Sam! 'Cause he's gonna save the day!...", if one looks closely it can be seen that Jupiter's lights do not flash at the correct rate near the end of the shot.

Phew, it's hot outside today! With the weather so dry, Pontypandy's Fire Department are especially busy. And now, Jupiter - The Fire Engine - is almost out of water. In the Original intro ( Series 1 - 4) Sam drives off from his house in Jupiter, but he leaves the front door open due to slipping on Norman's Skateboard. It's all go at Pontypandy Fire Station with Trevor on his part time fireman course. But as Station Officer Steele sets up a drill for him, it looks as though trouble with Dilys's drains will give him some real experience. In the first CGI intro ( Series 6 - 7) when Sam, Elvis, and Radar left with Jupiter, Jupiter's side logo was missing and Penny's helmet could not be seen on the shelf even though she did not go to an emergency. Both these goofs were corrected in the Series 8 - 9 intro.
