errr what have i done?

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
The 3.5 is a solid engine, one of the best so treat it to a good service and use quality oil (not that I'm plugging it but I use that Lucas stuff from E_bay).

Good ignition, if funds allow fit some IRIDIUM plugs as they will help with [PooPoo] fuel and stay on-song so much longer (£8 a plug :shock: ) plus some decent leads and cap/arm (fit genuine Lucas)

The colour of the insides of a V8 tell more baout it's condition than the mileage so use your common sense.
Think about a clutch if it's had plenty of use.

Obvioulsy do all the gearbox/axle oils too and look at the colour of what comes out.  If the gearbox works ok then no reason to expect trouble, if it's becoming a cow, you already know the answer.

Make sure the cooling is up to scratch, I'm testing that water-wetting stuff in the LSE (let you know how it goes) also from the Lucas oils guy.

Spares, take a sensible amount but don't break your truck with the weight of 2 spare axles/fridge/big jack etc etc.

Have fun :!:

paul and sam:
thanks for the info guys i have changed the rad for a new one had it made the other month with a thicker core than the old one and the core is a industrial one ie the vanes are set vertical so it is easy to jet clean :P honest they say that i will be able to jet clean it with no damage to the rad...
