rs calibrate the speedo so they are 100% accurate,i had a 95 4.0 se some9- 10 years ago and it had wires everywhere ,srs was deactivated storage boxes in boot & some sort of control box for lighting on the inner n/s flitch.tbh it was 100% reliable prob due to being maintained regardless of cost and motorway driving.it also had a sticker on the rocker cover stating it had a genuine l/r replacement engine.mine was orriginally a Stafford police motorway car

I believe standard practise for the police is to replace engines at 100k. On some vehicles engine and gearbox. A company I worked for years ago had an ex-pol Transit that had 125k on the clock, it had the engine replaced at 99k. But in that last 26k it reached the age limit so was punted on. I imagine they are a tad more frugal these days, but heyho.

If my memory serves me right, back in the 70/80's Essex police used to replace their cars (Fords) at 80k but RangeRovers at 200k. Of course this was before LR had the bright idea of overboring the V8
