Today was the first time on significant amounts of ice, new experience for me in the p38!
First time I've felt the brakes do their thing for a sustained period and have to say it felt quite odd when the pedal locked up solid! I'm used to feedback from the abs and to keep pressure on the pedal

I've had a Torquemax cam on my shelf for quite a while..

A good way to spend new years

This explains it's lack of umph

I'm quite buzzed after 1/2 a bottle of fine Whisky so I do wonder whether it'll go back together in the right order

Damage done before your ownership, presumably? Cams seem to wear fast on the v8. Does enough oil get there?

Don't know about'enrys, but mine went from running seemingly normal to totally guided in a 15 mile journey. Didn't seem to have oil problems though

The issue isn't the Cams LR in their infinite wisdom deciding to recommend a 10w40, nowt wrong with the grade however most 10w's have little to no ZDDP in them which prolongs the life of the cams.

Without it the cams wear, the process accelerates when the servicing interval is extended

Some say lob a 20w50 in it, to be fair unless the oil has a high level of ZDDP it is pointless.

Valvoline VR1 20w50
Penrite HPR 5w40
Castrol Edge 10w60

Are all good.

A Generic 10w40 will do fine with a Zinc additive...

The same can be said for any Pushrod V8s

unless they have roller cams

Mind you The RV8 is a walk in the park compared to other troublesome Range Rover V8s

I thought about going out and having a crack at my timing chains. Ten seconds out there made me decide to wait for a warmer bloody day.

It's the quiet ones you have to watch, like a volcano that grumbles for years, then without any warning all hell breaks loose

Towed a Kia Sportage out of the mud. Seems they thought they had an off-roader!
