Running these crappy rover v8's is , the one in my bmw is twice as powerfull and uses half the fuel as the one in my RRC :doh:
More to the point I was making though they had the chance over the years and years they had it to iron out all the faults like the liners slipping etc and all they did was make them worse!
merc V8 engines are cheap these days.....
I am saying I have not seen a landy v8(I have one) that has either done 300k miles or doesnt use any oil or water, certainly not both lol.
Am I missing your point?
