ronnyd, if you regularly cross over the Orwell (and clearly you do being able to point out the landmarks), can you just count you only have 5 fingers per hand?

Only 4, the other digit is called a thumb.

That will change if you keep going to far east....

Does the FType still use the Ford V6?

It never was an engine Ford used

It was a design JLR did massive development on to create the blown V8 and then they dropped two cylinders (block is the same length and angle) to create the V6

Didn't stop them casting it with FoMoCo all over it... 

Not looking for a fight about it, just that I find it an amusing sidenote.

I thought the FoMoCo one was used in the s-type, x-type & XJ (plus about 12 early XFs) up until about 2009, same one that Aston welded together in pairs to make the V12 for the DB9 et al (not actually welded, before anyone gets smart  ).

V6 and V8 engines were assembled at Fords Bridgend plant until a few years ago.

Consequently all castings had FoMoCo on them as that was the production origin (not the design)

I used to run my 5.0 SC XFR with the crappy plastic engine cover removed. It looked better. Sold it on Ebay for around £150 with the front splitters which I also removed because they were too easy to scrape.
