Asimo reacted to junkyarddog in Ford 1.6 diesel "quick, quiet and clean"
I fitted this1.8 turbodiesel and matching 5 speed gearbox into my FE.
Went surprisingly well,although was slow enough of the mark,but combined with the FE's higher ratio automatic rear axle it could happily cruise along without feeling strained,it once showed 90+(on a private track Cough cough )there was more there,but the old FE wasn't able 🤣

Better a percentage of the vehicle’s list price when new.

Asimo reacted to Weird Car in Weird Car’s weird cars *now with added bus* Rolls Royce joins the fleet
Some quick pics of the Shad as promised, Mr WC already wants to take it out in Convoy with the Guy Arab when that’s back on the road so expect some Rolls and Bus action soon, I also took it to work this morning and managed to attract a crowd almost instantly mainly from my colleagues who were probably wondering if the CEO of First Bus had just showed up for a random Audit 😆
I’d like to give it a really good wash and detail very soon as it got absolutely filthy from the drive home yesterday

You had me at corduroy seat covers.
Talking of which, leather seats are massively over rated. Especially some of the modern grey ones. if you're going to have them they need to be a proper colour and have at least 50 years patina.
But even then a decent velour is better than leather any day.

This may or may not be the case but the Triumph straight six is the best sounding engine ever made so nobody really minded losing the V8. And in TR6 spec it was actually slightly more powerful so no loss at all really. I'd love to get a Stag and put a straight six in it.

It's not even in the top 10 Jags. The XJS is so much nicer from every angle.

MGBs with rubber bumpers look better than the older chrome bumper ones, They were a successful facelift.

Absolutely cloth is better.
The only decent leather seats I’ve ever had was in our 1990 Range Rover and I wouldn’t buy a modern with leather seats even if I loved everything else about the car.
