I'm on the brink of buying 4.6 HSE...

i think most members would agree here or not,but to me i love mine to bits,but god do i hate it when something goes wrong,but there are plenty of parts around for them,and most are reasonably priced,but beware when buying electrical parts on ebay,a lot of them can be duff parts people are selling on to the unaware buyer,and the good thing about this forum is there always someone that will know or advise on any problems tht will pop up.
just remember they were built as a luxury car and like all luxury cars wether an aston martin or rolls royce they have to be kept on top of,the first time you ignore something,it,s got you

quality post wills, definately couldnt have put it better myself.
eas is probably the most problematic area vinny, (untill you buy one, then every area is most problematic), do your best with the engine, as everything else is easier to work on, and dont blame yourself for not picking up on faults when things do start going wrong, you relly dont know when them gremlins are gunna strike!
enjoy mate.
