ferrari ?

i think them kv6 engines are a nightmare to change the timing belt on, and then there is also the worry of head gasket issues. Although didn't rover offer them with lpg from the factory?
Also would you not be a bit worried having all that power and them microscopic brake disks

Im not sure on the petrol ones fp,

one thing is for certain is iwouidnt have one, (Deisel for me methinks!)
iwas told they come with two differnt engines, one is ford based and the other is a Rover built one, idont know how true that is tho,

[FarmerPug]

the only ford based engine was the 4.6 v8 from the mustang but thats not really a practical choice. all the other petrol engines are rovers own k series engines

THE KIT IS 99% BONDED/BOLTED TO THE PEUGEOT.THE ONLY THING THAT REQUIRES BONDING IS THE FRONT EDGE OF THE ROOF SKIN (A SIMPLE 30 MINUTE JOB) WHICH REQUIRES THE THE CURVATURE OF THE WINDSCREEN TO LIGN UP.THE SCREEN WAS DAMAGED AT EXTREME`S FACTORY WHEN THE METAL STRENGTHENING FRAME WAS BEING WELDED IN.

Oh that's a relief, being only 30 minutes, I was worried it may take longer...........

a simple job to lign up a windscreen can be done one handed
