I got a bottle of Gtechniq C4 but haven’t gotten around to applying it yet. The local “tuning shop” dudes claimed it is Da Bomb and best stuff on the market.
One of mine is completely grey...

OTOH a bottle of C4 costs more than both aftermarket DNJ000081, DNJ000091 together or one genuine.. so I probably should have just replaced with a new black one......
Just checked.

Do you just pull them to take them off or does one need access from underneath to remove the hose?

A quick heads up if you run LPG and have a Prins Vaporiser, check the elbows at the bottom where the coolant goes in, this is all that is left of one of mine, luckily it gave up as I parked up at home. Thankfully rather than £200 for a new vaporiser its just £10 for new elbows, as they are removable.

Hi fellow V8 owners,
Can I play even though I'm non-UK?
Just wanted to say I love the power of my 2007 LR3 V8 - somebody imported it from the US to Germany (probably some GI or other US government employee), and I brought it to Austria last year.
Currently at 120K Miles and having the usual suspension issues, but new air springs and a refurbished compressor cured most of those.
Haven't seen another V8 in Austria....
Cheers
StefanIIDTool in Vienna, Austria - happy to share!

Indeed could have been worse though, the fact you can buy easily suggests it's not an uncommon occurrence.==================================

Welcome!
There are 39 V8s in Finland according to the government. I’m reasonably sure there is car registration data publicly available in Austria..?
