horriblemercedes got a reaction from mercedade in A bit of shite - Range Rover from HMC
I've driven it a few miles around Bristol and so far I like it. I havent driven a P38 for 10+ years but remembered instantly why I liked them.
It is in rough condition and that's why it was cheap, however the important things are good. Steering feels just how it should, engine is how it should be and I'm amazed how good the gearbox is. You cannot detect gear changes apart from by watching the rev counter. The air suspension is just right too - these cars really lose part of their character when they're on coils. The air suspension is excellent

horriblemercedes got a reaction from tooSavvy in HMC- Incoming- Old Skool Ford (contains mk2 escort)
I think the emissions thing was to do with producing less CO2 than the V6 (better fuel economy) so it meant cheaper company car tax and more fleet sales

Think there was an emissions thing too with the turbo? Could be wrong on that though.
Besides the VVC worked better at a higher rev band I think, as it was the VTEC equivalent. So you would do that in a 2 seat sports car and less so on a saloon.

I'm not terribly far away and would lend some labour. It'll stop me actually doing anything to fix/improve my own cars and house, and that is just what I need

There is a collection for me underway at the moment but I'm not there. A good friend of mine (who's not on this webshite) will be collecting a car from a shiter shortly...
The collection is for me. I just couldn't make it so he's doing me a big favour. I think he's currently on the M5

Like the XJ6 a lot.
Especially nice to have found one without a leaper, and just the naff badge to remove - I find a hairdryer gives enough heat to melt the glue on that kind of thing enough to allow it to be pulled off, then the glue residue removed with white spirit / thinners.

I didn't know you could get an XJ without AC. Must be a great car with a manual, an XJR with one is still fairly high on the want list.
