Great thanks for your help. Valve body on EAS has had new o rings along with the compressor. It's also had a new air dryer... So think all that's left is bags, but at sub 100 a pop and easy to replace not too bothered about those. Saint v8, how many miles have yours got on them? 130k ojoon...

Thanks for all your help. Also just found out the p38 has ''EAS pumps internal thermal switch failed so it has a external one fitted. Works perfectly well.'' what does this mean!?

Sorry. yea it is a D1. Yea, I think P38 it is! Just got to keep my fingers crossed I don;t get a bad one! Not bothered about the interior issues as can sort everything really....just don;t want to be rebuilding the engine after a few k miles....how much do you rec it would cost to get top hat...

thanks, which have LCF blocks? any way to tell or are all thor 4.6's lcf?

Thanks, well I will be towing, that's why a derv gearbox worries me..... I assume if you remove the MAF you put in a MAP sensor? or does the derv already have both? I do love a v8, that;s the only other thing! Even if it is mainly for the wife to drive, especially on LPG as would probably...

the engine may be...but what about the gearbox?

thanks, but again i don't like the idea of a tiny highly strung diesel bm engine in a huge car....

Thanks, still think I'll go for a v8. derv doesn't attract me in the slightest really!

great stuff! I think I may gamble!

great thanks

but nothing too major? engine still strong?

also is 1.8k for a 125kmile p38 (no lpg) worth it!? only 1 owner since new!

thanks, p38's seem a bit of a gamble....but one I may well take! Just don't like the idea of a dual mass flywheel on a tiny diesel in a huge car especially if it's been towing and especially as i will be towing - even if my caravan is only 1.2tonne

Yea, so many conflicting views. I know maintenance is key, but have heard that even than there is no guarantee that it will eat itself tomorrow! Is 130k on a Rv8 a lot? I know it's not for a m62b35/44 but they're German engineering!

Thanks, so you obviously had issues with your petrol ones?
