sounds like a VM engine with individual cylinder heads, I've got one myself in the same setup, but not sure if to bother with it,
Its still in the car at the moment

If it is its what is fitted in the older Range rovers

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Kev,

Its for nowt and after having fun yesterday in the wet (Petrol engines and water don't mix)a diesel is the way to go but costs of a good 200tdi won't mix with her in doors

So 1 engine for nothing might be the option
