Factual error: No gearbox problem would cause the noises in the episode, it was a clutch problem.
Other mistake: When the old well needs filling in, for safety reasons, Ryan is breaking up bricks. If you are filling up a well, first, you'd need lots of bricks and stones, heaps more than Ryan's small pile, and, two, why does Ryan have to break up the bricks? They're going into the well - it doesn't matter if they are big or small.
Revealing mistake: After the Custos's house has been broken into, the next day, the Custos takes a key out of his jacket pocket, unlocks a drawer and takes out a pile of bound papers.

Character mistake: When Angus is found dead, he left a word, "murder", in steam on the mirror. Daisy cleaned off the word before anybody, except Laura, could see it. Later, Daisy said that Laura was annoyed with her because she had wiped the words, plural, off the mirror. But it was only one word.
Continuity mistake: When the doctor is putting the bandage on Laura's hand, it ends at her wrist. But later, the bandage goes all the way to her elbow.
Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2
Plot hole: When Jeremy stopped to drink his water, which turned out to be vodka and which killed him via a heart attack, why did he hide himself away, surrounded by plants and only found by his mobile ringing? And why would he put the lid back on the bottle in the throes of a heart attack?
Factual error: Bert is using an oxygen-acetylene torch, not butane, and the stop valve is NOT the large T piece on the regulator. Butane cannot cause a heart attack.

Character mistake: When interviewed by the police, Rosemary says "You do know where the arrow came from? It came from Mr Danvers' collection." But Lyle, the resident archery expert, would have his own collection of bows and arrows.
Continuity mistake: The girls are driving when they see Karen driving the van Martina. Problem is: when the girls stopped, there was a stop sign, but when they drive on, the stop sign is missing.
Other mistake: At the end, when a policeman pulls an arrow out of Franklin's shoulder, there's no sign of pain or blood, on the arrow or on Franklin's clothes.
Continuity mistake: When Angus is found dead, Daisy has her hands steepled in front of her face, but, in the next shot, her hands are lowered to her chin - except in the mirror, where they are still steepled in front of her face.

Swords into Ploughshares - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Near the end, the girls find a big box, filled with antiquities, buried in Lord Engleton's lawn. Laura's jacket changes from before digging, to having found the box, and then back to the first one as they carry the box away.

Continuity mistake: After the girls have seen the site of their next job, Rosemary hands Laura the keys to the Rover. Laura has a bag over her right shoulder. When she climbs into the Rover and closes the door, the shoulder strap of her bag vanishes.
Orpheus in the Undergrowth - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Laura decides to talk to Helena for the second time, she's wearing gardening gloves, but as she walks away, the gloves are gone.
Continuity mistake: When the girls walk into the palm shop, Rosemary's sleeves are rolled down to the wrists, but, a second later, just as she gets a large spider on her arm, her sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, so now the spider can bite her.
Continuity mistake: In order to meet the Queen, Laura stands up from her last minute toils in the herb garden and she has a plant in her her left hand and a trowel in her right. Suddenly, the trowel is gone.
