have a p38 4.0 se a very good capable truck, expect £40 every day on petrol and its good to allow the same again for repairs

 

haha we used to go thru £140 a day at the track days at knock hill 3mpg springs to mind in a car that weighed 650 kgs

I agree. A great 4x4 when the air suspension or fancy electronics are not playing up. For towing anything bigger than a box trailer you need 4.0 upwards as they are so heavy, but christ they are thirsty.

 

 

No electronics or air on this one. It was a landscapers originally so it's on heavy duty springs. I'll get some photos up if I get it. Apparently it goes like a scolded cat. Showed up a few of the local boy racers recently so I've been told.

Not sure if that was my spelling or auto correct. I blame the latter

It isn't mine quite yet. Still have to get my mechanic to give it a once over.

As you've said it's on heavy duty springs so not relevant to this scenario but I've see and heard of a lot of them with collapse air suspension.

 

I had heard the 4.0 was the sturdier of the two engines as the 4.6 was just a bored out version. Not sure if this will make a huge difference though.

A friend runs a 4.6 powered in a westfield hill-climb car. This is fuelled by x 4 pairs of Dellorto carbies. He runs approx 85 second sprints @ Prescott. It was the choice engine in its day.

No competition with Hyabusa engined machines now though, who manage to reduce the time by ten or more seconds!

I tried to get in the cockpit of the Westfield and nearly got stuck.
