    Here's a thought, do you have comprehensive insurance?

    Comprehensive insurance will usually cover you for "accidental damage". That is the legal term.

    For example a rock is thrown up by another vehicle and smashes your wing mirror. Or you drive over an unusually large pothole and it causes your cylinder liners to slip?

    It is worth an ask at least, if you don't ask, you don't get.

    Cheers, Matt

    Hope you enjoy it Pedro!
    Out of curiosity, what's the fuel economy of the 4.6 compared to the 3.9?

    For a V8, you just measure it in one word -"LOTS"

    Hopefully better!

    There is a 5.2 on here that gets much better economy than a standard 4L.

    sort of makes sense,,


    as mine was such a slug I AM expecting a good result fuel wise.
    10-1 comp, new H180 Kent cam and new 4.6 bores/pistons.

    Am hopeful of over 400Nm
    (crosses fingers)

    as for you Sheerluck--
