Every time I hear that V8 roar into life my face becomes one big grin ;D

Until I have to visit petrol stations..

Thats not the V8, thats the viscous fan.....I kid you not!

Mark, if your offer of casting your eye over my V8 and giving me some pointers / helping me get it running nicely is a serious one... then it would be well worth the trek up to Nottingham at 15mpg.. and the chinese is on me this time ;)

Ps, 60k? You can tack 100k onto that....  ;D

Hi James...

Nice new motor...

But does this mean that you've retired from mending Omegas now??     :'( :'(

Was hoping you'd get round to finishing mine first - is there any chance of this now??

Here's hoping..  

Nick

Nick.. I will never ever lose my touch or involvement with Omega's ;)

I've seen your posts about being under the weather - I had no idea...

I'm trying to read the latest posts and it's a full time job to keep up!

When you're ready - come and supervise  ;)       :y  :y

I bet the chancellor loves the previous owner :o

.. he's single handedly paid for the millennium dome racking up that much at 15MPG!

Argh, it's a 4x4! Nooooooo!

Wait, unless you're gonna use it to actually go off-roading? In which case, give me a shout and I'll come along! :D

The one and only RV8 I've ever stripped had half that many miles, head gaskets blown on 2 pots and barely any lobes left on the cam, despite allegedly being a "good runner".

It's now in a rather fast Westfield. My mate decided it would have been rude to replace the cam with a standard one. [smiley=evil.gif]

At least the bits are relatively cheap IIRC.

Set of 8 HT leads, £25 in Halfrauds, can't be too bad. Dizzy cap £6 etc... so I'm pleased so far..

I'm nervous about the MOT... but that's cos I had such a bad experience with my Rotton Range Rover.... saying that, it was a 1989, and this is considerably newer...

How old is it then mate? It's before the lights were raised but does look in great knick!?!

Is the protruding rear step an MOT failure then?

A friend of mine had a right ballache getting some paintwork colour matched for the scraped front valance on his. Nice colour though  :y
