You'll get a tidy L322 3.6 TD V8 for 10 grand

Yes it was the 160,000 mile 3.6

Tried the Italian tune up .......decided to get a refund rather than get involved

I'm looking into those but I've had some strange insurance quotes..........the L322 TDv8 3.6 was £900 ........a 4.2 supercharged Sport quote is £600 .......how does any of that make sense ?

Cloud of black smoke on acceleration.......more than normal

I took min e back to the dealer and got my money back :)

Had a mk1 facelift auto diesel Hippo and loved it........ I wish you many happy years together

And thats what scares me :(

Why thank you gentlemen ...... I look forward to discovering my first fault :rolleyes:

I bought it :D

I'll check .....on my way to have a good look at the paper work

I,ve looked at a 2006 V8td Vogue today.......looks immaculate, drives spot on and everything works BUT 160,000 miles with a full history and invoices .........am I crazy if I buy it ?

Dont forget to remove the intercooler and drain/flush any oil out of it

What a lovely story , may all three of you have many adventures together

Finally someone with common sense..... I wonder how many posters on this thread report a neighbour /friend to the TV license people or for any other trivial thing, if you're not buying it get a f*cking life

Yes , the cause

The reason I'd crack off the feed pipe to the rail is to get as much petrol out of the system as possible

Drain the tank, use compressed air to blow out fuel lines , fit new fuel filter then refill with diesel crack off fuel rail feed pipe and prime fuel system , retighten pipe to fuel rail , crank and start engine .

Why the f*ck would anyone want this ?

There is no need to apply the handbrake untill it locks the prop , the decelerometer will give the reading long before the wheels/prop lock ..........the clue is in the name , decelerometer, Like most things in life correct use of the equipment will give the results without risk of causing...
