EPC confirms that to be an X30XE engine, so the advert is wrong.

It does confirm it was a police car, and that it left the factory with a limited slip diff  (3.9 - 1):y

I guess it could have had a 3.2 put in, but with the old ancilliaries added to keep the ecu happy  :-/

That's interesting Jimbob, I never knew EPC could tell you original specs in so much detail. Without meaning to be too cheeky, what does EPC say about OY52 YOG and EN52 KSK?

From my admittedly limited experience (I've only had the one) I would say go for it albeit with caveats..all of which have been covered in other posts. My car has given no trouble and has needed only routine servicing. The spec is very basic but that does not bother me. It is certainly quick - which I would attribute to the manual box and lack of heavy gadgets - the stories of special engine mods are total guff! Good luck :y

Hasn't DLK told you about that yet Josh?
I usually get a phone call when he wants a car checking up. ;D

but they would have big chunky lights and cameras etc. so probably weigh the same.
