Been sat a year? Gearbox probably blew up.
Mabye worth a knock on the door.
Got great news tonight lad I do loads of motors for has just gone bought a full size rr tdv8 with blown turbos. It's getting dropped off monday.

If its got two blown turbo`s it why did they go

i seam to recall something to do with oil pump losing pressure and taking the turbos out new turbos are put on and guess what they go as well because the pump was not changed.

Any recommendations for a set of p38 shock absorbers that are a reasonable price, and how easy hard are they to replace?

OEM are best IMO. Try Island 4 x 4.

Looks like you've lost yer load...

Henry_b · Mar 12, 2020

Threw a bottle of this into the tank, being in a rush i didn't read the instructions, it said a "shot" per 50 litres there are 2 shots in a bottle..
I dumped the whole bottle into around 15 litres of fuel

No wonder it didn't have emissions issues!

Runs sweeter than ever though, so maybe it works!!

Added a pair of these to the car aswell, the MOT'er noted the wipers as "OK" upon using them on my way home the rubber disintegrated on the passenger side wiper.
So i bought some proper Bosch ones from ECP, they even have little "spoilers" on them to push on the screen at speed

stops them parting company from the screen at speed.

Wiped the leather over too and added a floor mat on the inside to help protect the carpet.

Getting betterer,

I cant find the rears only fronts in Boge

Got mine from Island-4x4 before the trouble. Paddock or similar should have them. Dead easy to swap out.

You managed to start and run with only 15L in the tank!? Surprised it didn't just cough and and splutter a couple of times.

Was Lunch time Haha. Finally done. 20mpg all day. Cant grumble. Gearbox survived. Been faultless all day.
Litterly away to tick onto 142k now.
Towed absolutely brilliantly as expected. Only doing a 2mile long climb with the volvo on it showed 93° once engine temp wise 85-90° all day.

Gvmclean · Mar 12, 2020

Completed a 570 mile journey from Aberdeen to London. Computer says 38.7 mpg but I know this is just folly! I started a brim to brim but haven't brimmed up in London yet as the 7 year old daughter needed bed after a long run. I'll update tomorrow after a fill up. She ran beautifully though at a fairly constant 60mph. Go on Rita!

I've got the flat wipers on mine. Never needed an aerofoil, even at speed.

RangeRoller dt · Mar 13, 2020

Maybe it’s the extra height but the aerofoils help on mine.

stuu · Mar 13, 2020

Scrap runs all day. 4th car today.

That looks good! I've already got some suitable glue lying around that goes most things including rubber and remains flexible once cured. Should do the trick
