Can usually drive around with a fucked H/G on these V6 engines for a long long time though, since it normally blows to atmosphere rather than in an area where the water/oil will mix.

Another pish job, apparently, is changing an exhaust manifold gasket.. since there really isn't much room to fuck around and carry out repairs on the V6 cars.

Behave, haha!! ...I'm pretty sure my average of 28mpg, urban stop start driving, is a little better than I could get in a Rangie.


Cheers,
