smiffy 99 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 I think this thread has jinxed my car, after work on Friday I popped my bonnet to fill my washer bottle and then had to spend 10 minutes trying to get the damn thing to close. Also noticed that my coolant bottle was almost empty , I'm hoping its just a leaky pipe, hard to spot it one the ground though its never bloody dry. Ah my bottom rad pipe is leaking now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Plus I'm laughing my nads off at the crap being written on the 3.8 reliability thread on AO, not a clue what Zulu Ferret is blathering on about and until I hear from Nigel why his failed (or see the engine for myself) then from the description of how it died I'll suspect low oil pressure or melting pistons, but that's pure speculation, basically loose crank nut or not mapping the engine ecu correctly.

Smaky 73 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 Exactly, wtf has that got to do with the reliability of the 3.8 conversion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
