Let's not talk about how many times TBE was towed then either  ;D that lifetime warranty wasn't much good was it?!

Also, a big thank you to VXL V6 and Mrs VXL V6 for coming down today, with parts I needed to get the project going!

You are welcome, good to catch up again, it's been a while!

Older V6's weren't that quick. It's just the suspension, brakes and steering were so shit that it felt like you were going plenty fast enough. ;D

A select few of us know, the 2.2 petrol is really the superior engine.  It does a dead V6 very well.  :D

Interesting project, I'd keep it all as is and just accept the power that it gives. Given lack of MPV's around now, suspect many might want it as a family car!

Not sure I could live with a V6 fuel usage at todays prices though, that said I don't think I could live with any combustion fuel car.

Yes but now I can nearly "fill up" for not much more than the cost of a single litre of petrol.

My Desmond Sport was last MoTd in 2020 with 38k on it. Hopefully it went to the Emerald Isle and is still going strong rather than being scrapped...

Was mint apart from the tree sap damage from being parked under a tree for a year before I bought it.

Older V6's weren't that quick. .........

My brother-in-law owned a MK2 Granada 2.8 Ghia X and when the *gearbox started playing up* I took it to an auto gearbox specialist. The guy, without taking any notice of what model it was, test drove it and commented that it was flat for a 2.3. I said it's worse than that, it's actually a 2.8.  ::) ;D

*
The viscous coupling had seized, causing load on the engine, which in turn confused the gearbox.
