Think outside, no box required.
The 4.6 Has the Hp24 however the HP22 will cope with the 4.6 so long as you aren't ragging the ever living shít out of it every few seconds

Righto.The 4.6 Has the Hp24 however the HP22 will cope with the 4.6 so long as you aren't ragging the ever living shít out of it every few seconds
But is another non tophatted one worth the gamble?
Wanna help?
So.... It went swimming... It nearly caught fire... It sat for four hours in water... The results are in....
Buggered pulleys,
Buggered water pump,
Buggered alternator,
Buggered starter motor,
Buggered door speaker..
No water in the gearbox or in the front axle... Pffew.. That could have been much worse... It could have turned into an évoque
..My mate Keith has sorted a replacement speaker.
So for a 500€ euro bill... it lives.
Two replacement door locks from my scrapper and a Shït load of luck

I've had luck with exchange engines, however can't guarantee you'll have either a good one or a **** one
V8dev do short blocks or turn key engines
Yea you takes yer chance!! Helps to know some kind of confusion/history though, rather than 'it came from a scrapper'I've had luck with exchange engines, however can't guarantee you'll have either a good one or a **** one

Last time i checked they were silly money and they didn't have stock anyways
Couldn't agree more, I wouldn't buy a car made after 2000.

Hmm yes, CN4x4ss has a fair few P38's I believe and a few engines. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294041975317?hash=item4476447a15:g:X3kAAMXQVERS-bar
That's where my current one came from
Problem is, i get the impression that whether you buy an engine for £700 with '100000 miles' on it or pay 1200 for an engine with '30000 miles' on it, you get the next engine in line.. it might be just run in or it might have 250000 miles on it.. maybe I'm cynical but you don't seem to get the advertised engine, just 'one off the shelf'That's where my current one came from

I hear Alfa Romeos are good
(Seriously, don't. We've had more problems with the 2000s Alfas than the 1980s or 1960s Landies!)

If he's got one in, William will give you the accurate info Kermit.
Yes, different to 4.0 and diesel which have a weaker box unless you have a manual box.
Went for a nice long drive today alone with some good music on . Well was good for me. Came home feeling a lot better. God these cars can be good when they want to be
