    Same air box

    Interesting Crazy how the Granturismo 4.2 2008 is £380 plus vat yet the 4.7 us £143 plus vat. Big difference for fundamentally the same thing.

    Same air box

    I see. So apart from that they are the same. Bit of a difference in price on the boxes between 4.2 and 4.7 ( Granturismo ) for exactly the same item. Just goes to show. Always cross reference parts for a better price

    Coolant pipe

    Thanks for the info. Good to know the transmission doesn't need to come out to do. I only mention it because it appears the main seal at rear of crankshaft is leaking badly so the transmission has to come out to replace that. Am.I right in saying that pipe ( 227489) would be easier to get to...

    Coolant pipe

    Hi all. Apologies as its most probably been asked many times before. Anyone got the part number for the coolant pipe where the transmission has to be removed to replace it? Getting other work done so may be good opportunity to replace. Thanks
