My V8 has 177k on the clock.
As for tyres I'm having a right faff. I've now gotten myself distracted with the millions of second hand wheels and tyres out there in perfect order. It may take me some time to decide haha

V8s around
Would appear you guys only interested in UK V8s - There are plenty out here, especially old ones when '95 was still a reasonable price. Mine is a 2006 with 175 000 Klm, third of which being "Bush " Klm.

Agreed...… just no diesels!
Problem with mine yesterday. Battery died on the original key fob. Luckily I had a spare and a cheap non working fob that had a new rechargeable battery. Hey presto, now back up to two keys.

Definitely welcome South African V8s, I grow South African succulents and have a quite a few South Africa friends.
At the weekend we did 2400 miles in 2.5 days on a plant crawl round Europe, with the wife and 3 friends, didn't miss a beat, averaged 17.5 mpg on LPG, and LPG is currently half the cost of petrol/diesel. #D3reliabilty #V8Rules

Zero issues with the V8 since May/June and that had to do with the arms (knock on wood)
Rollin’ and burblin’ along, nothing to see...

Anyone know the part number of the 'T' piece for the coolant system that lives under the top cover?
Thanks
