...and I'm suprised to see a balancer shaft on a v6

It is a tractor, remember.

Probably rough as a badgers yaris without

[aaronjb]

See, where you're all seeing something overly complex, I'm seeing something that's really quite clever in design terms - it keeps the engine compact as the chains all sit within the area of the heads & (very short) engine block and with several short chains rather than one enormous one you probably get a lot less wear on the slippers and less propensity to rattle..

..still not sure I'd want the repair bills, mind but let's face it - Entwood is hardly going to be able to tow the pikey palace with a clit, is he

(Then again, cost of clit vs. cost of land yacht plus pikey palace - you could probably have a lot of hotel time for that.. but let's not get into that argument )

[05omegav6]

Well that's that settled

VXR8 with Holden Commodore rear lights and bumper to enable fitting of the factory spec 2100kg towbar, which bolts straight on

And before anyone says 'type approval', by the time it becomes an issue, the EU will have collapsed




Hopefully...

Hopefully...

if I were there ,a British made car with relatively cheap parts available anytime and lots of friends knowing about it would be my first choice.. 
 
and you have plenty of choices.. why not Jaguar..

[05omegav6]

Trouble is, that only leaves the following choices:

Toyota Avensis; Honda Accord and CRV; Nissan Primera, Note and Micra; Vauxhall Astra and Jaguar/Range Rover 

All of which are plastic wwd tat, except for the Tata options, but neither are, by their own admission that well built or reliable besides, the Range Rover is also a bit too 'Cheshire'

Aaron, discussing about the quality of a luxury car of German engineering is pointless ofcourse..
 
and no doubt the pikey palace will lift off the clit in any pothole or irragular roadshape   remember its 950 kg and with 4 passengers and load maximum 1400-1450 kg..
 
ps: did you tried clit 3.0 v6

I would love to have a go in one of those - standard or modified (there's footage of a supercharged version with full clutchless sequential gearbox somewhere!).. two of my favourite cars (of those that I've owned) were my Renault 5 GT Turbo & Renault 19 16V. Admittedly I may have somewhat rose coloured spectacles on when thinking about them as I was only 19 at the time!

In that example, it is older than my Omega, has less room in it, is a lower spec, and is a god awful colour...

...and, most importantly, it's not a vxr8

I would have hoped that much was obvious

Parts aren't exactly cheap then

I would of hoped too tbh
"I want a vxr8/phaeton/Lexus"....or whatever, is not really an open statement
