I actually think You will find (haven’t checked) but the 3.9 & 4.0 is one and the same, the 4.6 is the same but stroked:eek::D.

I might be wrong and just had a dream:):)



I was offered 5.2:eek:. When I replaced our 4.6.

Yep You're right 3.9/4.0 is identical apart from the later Thor 4.0's have Cross bolted mains.
The 4.6 is indeed just a stroked 4.0..

You can get 5.6litres from a Rover V8 if you dare ;)
 
Down to 1/8th of a tank and no fuel round here. May have to put few bottles of redex to go further afield :eek:
We supplied China and the rest of the world with most the fuel for the industrial revolution, then left us in poverty. Thanks for remembering us :rolleyes:

Luckily the prices are only hypothetical as there isn’t any

Diesel is cheaper than petrol in France, but prices go up and down so much these last few weeks it's difficult to keep track.
Diesel at our local has gone down to €2.02 p lt, that from a high of €2.50 3 weeks ago. Needless to say haven't bought any at these prices yet, I can probably go another couple of weeks before I need to start tapping into the 40 lt I have in jerry cans - one bonus of not having to go to work.

I'm in the same boat as not going to work as I can't:) Too poorly these days

We just arrived in France yesterday and already even taking into account Micron's promise of a reduction, have seen widely differing prices as we drove 550 miles south west. But we didn't pay over 2€ per litre. Mind you we never fill up on the Autoroute. But went to Leclerc in Gaillac and the pump would not accept any of the 5 cards we offered it, despite having just paid for food in the ffing hypermarché with one of the cards. So drove to Castres and bought in a place that demanded you pay for the fule before taking it from the pump.
Never seen that afore!
I was lucky with my guesstimate as to how much i needed, just managed to squeeze the 50 litres in.
Weird times!

Let's hope that's not a sign of things to come. I reckon I could usually guess how much fuel I need, knowing the capacity, and what it actually means when it says it's at half, two thirds or so on (they're not half a tank or two thirds though!)
I imagine a lot of people (including my mother) would be totally lost, especially if the objective is to literally fill 'er up.

In the kit car world, designing a system that accurately matches up a fuel gauge and a sender unit becomes a fine art.
The first kit car I bought had a gauge that showed empty when it was full then moved to 1/2 where it was empty, I reversed the connections on it to make it read the right direction then fiddled with the sender unit as I discovered it was "tuneable" so it read FSD.
But most fuel gauges I have ever come across generally read 1/2 when the tank is at about 1/3 to 1/4. But on the other hand they read "full" for ages until the level of fuel comes down to the level of the float, when it actually starts to move.
I got the feeling this guy had had one too many "drive aways". He is an independent fuel station which is ultra rare nowadays.
We normally get ours from a Hypermarket or a supermarket as they are usually cheaper. Much the same as in Blighty

About 85% is full on mine, I hadn't really thought about whether it was adjustable, maybe that's a job for the nicer weather that's sure to be along soon :rolleyes::D

Don't blame the rest of the world. Our government skimmed off all the cash but blew it or pocketed it. Look at North Sea oil or gas. We've nothing to show for it. Meanwhile in Norway they only allowed the cash to be spent on capital projects that improved the country. That oil firm of theirs is one of rhe richest companies in the world. Pandemic response? France population 65m cost £12bn. England population 60m and cost £50bn+. Where'd the £30bn go?!

France produces an excess of diesel, I'm told. Whereas the UK has a shortfall ... and probably buys it from France.
