Re: Reliable Honda Engine: a project thread

Re: Supercharging the climate with a XJR V8
Thanks it is indeed, I always thought they weren't as a V8 isn't proper. But it hides it well & behaves like a proper engine with a lovely grumble underneath the blower screaming when asked to move.

Re: BMW E38 740iL
Years ago a mate had a fancy Clifford alarm going off at random* (always 3 am ish) in an Escrote, he eventually sat up in the car to see why & found a spider that came out & crawled over the sensor. After evicting the the spider the problem stopped.

Supercharging the climate with a XJR V8 - MOT Passed
It's about time I got this thread here I guess... A quick recap, I got this XJR in jan with 76k on it. It's now on nearly 80k at an average of 18.6mpg according to the dash.
