Harmonic damper

My car is grounded now my damper is coming apart (chinese crap)

I emailed the manufacturer and sent them photos of failed damper They are sending me replacement, free of charge could take a while though, its coming from Australia

My part arrived free of charge as promised, although customs charged me £33 for it (twats)
Its all fitted now, just got to tension belts Want to drive it now!!!

i had the same with my fuel pump customs charged me for opening and repacking it was about £40 as well

Jaguar made a good V12 - oops a bit to big for you maybe

Perkins & Gardiner made V8, V12, oops these run on that smelly stuff

Triumph - sorry their V8 was two four pots bolted together

Several more if you go back a few years - like the Railton Striaght Eight - you would be a bit to young to remember.

You carry on looking under your HOOD and I will carry on lifting my BONNET

Triumph v8 engines mostly got scrapped in favour of the rover lump which is actually a buick engine that they didnt want anymore, as for v12 jaguar they dont sound as good as a v8 and I suspect they are a lot more expensive to build than a chevy.

I did not mention the so called Rover V8 for that very reason, don't think it was a case Buick no longer wanted the engine it was a case that they made lots of dollars selling a licence so Rover could built it in GB, Rover first used it in the P5 then P6 (know as the P5B/P6B) then the Range Rover but always had an over heat problem, I ran a P6B for many years but had to bolt on after market (Kenlow) fans to keep her cool - must agree you cannot match the sound of a V8 - whatever the make.
