    How much engine oil is ok for a Classic V8 3.5 petrol engine to swallow before a trip to rehab is recommended? I find that I have to top up about 1 litre every 1000 kilometers. But it doesn't blow any smoke and runs fine. Is that a lot or just "normal" for this engine?

    Roof shell swap?

    My 2-door RR classic has a roof but it is missing the back half of the headliner shell inside the vehicle. I have found a scrap 4-door RR classic with an intact headliner shell. Looks like from this account it is not too hard to remove. Any idea if it will it fit in my 2-door RR?
