6 Cylinder man's V6 hasn't done many miles so flushing the engine shouldn't really cause any ill effects?

How often is oil on police vehicles changed then? I'm guessing they're either really bad at this or really good!?!  ;D

No, they were fitted from about 94/95.....

The part code we normaly advise on is the repair pack taken from the bulletin in TIS which includes a new cooler plate, cooler, nuts and O rings........this comes it at well under a ton unlike the individual parts that are well over 2 ton!

Add in the correct sealent (which comes in a small sealent type tube that requires a sealent gun), 4 douty washers for the coolant bridge, 4 metal washers for the oil pipes and your ready to go......you do need a 19mm crows foot spanner for the oil pipe to block joints.
