    Had to put this on keep looking at it finding it amusing. How fun changing front to back brake pipes.

    Ooh, that's my old V6! (R882)

    Do you still have it? Did you get it for spares, as the last time I saw it was on eBay with a busted valve - very strange(!!)?

    yes i bought it for 130 quid with a valve gone, best deal i ever had, i went to see it and it ran i thought very strange sound like a plugs come out. so i said nothing got it home and all that was wrong was a spark plug had come out. The guy that owned it should have taken the engine cover off for a look. At least i had a good deal. sold it again a while ago, was a cracking good one should have kept it

    Wow! Kinda pleased it wasn't a valve then! Guess the plug made the hole in the engine cover.

    That was one of the best engines I've had in any car.

    I wonder where it is now!

    yea it was a sweet engine, yes plug hit engine cover and broke it. I sold it then i saw it on pistonheads think its changed hands about 3 times since, it had a nice throaty exhaust as well, i was close to keeping it but had 3 anyway, at least i fixed and saved it from the scrappy
