Sorry to hear that but horses for courses I guess. My dealer purchased 4.6 cooked itself on day 4 of my ownership, cracked block, they replaced engine and the next 4 years ran fault free until sold. Plenty of other stuff broke and was replaced, but for me that was part of the enjoyment. And now several years after selling it, from online records I see it's still passing MOTs. So some lucky git owes me a beer
Last few years have had a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3.0 Merc engine, 100% reliable, fast, zero complaints. But it ain't no P38. So the next purchase will be the best one I can afford. Yes I'm an idiot and I'll still have to shell out 3k+ on fixing stuff (if lucky). But I'll enjoy it until they get banned and we're all driving twist n go battery pods.
