Hi and welcome. When I was looking for my p38 I had a list of what I wanted. Had to be the 4.0l, still on air bags. As in my mind that was what it was designed for, and putting coils on realy spoilt the idea. I hve a friend who has a DHSE, he had 2, one on coils, and hated it, so got one with air bags, and loves it. Everyone will have their own opnion, so take in everything you can. Touch wood mine is ok at moment, but under no illusions, that something will go wrong.

To be honest I got my own stamp. I do do a complete service when I do them, and stamp my book. But have known people to "borrow" a stamp from a stealer and stamp their books up to make it look good. If in doubt ring the places on the stamps. They should have some form of record of the motor. Especially if they a main dealer. My firm do their own servicing, so none of the vans have service stamps when they are sold off at 4 or 5 years old. sevice book sitting in glovebox of mine, never been out. But this is in agreement with ford/vauxhall as they have 100's of vans.
thought it was mine!
