How do
« on: 23 October 2011, 18:34:29 »
Hi Guys,

I've just picked up a 3.0ltr MV6 estate. Had a very smooth ride home so I'm very pleased. Its a 2000 and I payed £800 for it. The rear arches are starting to go but other than that the body is very good.

The temp needle seems to fluctuate quite a bit and the coolant warning light came on on the way home. It didn't get above about 90degrees and did'nt use any water! I'll have to look into it.

First job will be a new cambelt, water pump etc, oil and coolant fush

Cheers

Gez

Hi Gez, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
