It's not 1974 ,surely any modern engine run on synthetic oil should be good for 200k

Totally agree Darren.

 

[Guy]

it's not the engine that will expire at 100k, dampers, bushes, engine mounts etc and we know how reasonably priced they will be from Maserati!

A Good read.
My mother ran a primrose yellow 420 for several years with chrome wire wheels which were a búgger to clean.
Remember stopping at Michlewood Services at night and opening the bonnet with the exhaust manifolds glowing red quite a party trick.

They should have used black drain pipes at least.

Joking aside if that is a no longer available part for that car it is a creative fix.

Wow, lovely colour... They were real sh*te to work on especially the Jag heating/air con system they nicked off Bristol, it was so complicated!
