Default Well I'm back :)

Hi all

After being away for a while

I put a cheeky bid on a Le Mans Green 2.5 and only gone and won it

Few daft issues to sort but nothing major - broken bonnet release handle and a key scratch down one side but it was a bargain

My question is how do I know which power it has? Is it 180 or 190?

And firsts first apart from a service and ****** good clean what's the next thing to do with the v6?

If it's an Automatic it's 180, otherwise 190. Never mind the service or clean, check any history to see if it needs its belts changing. Otherwise, enjoy!

Brilliant nice and easy thank you

It's a manual - new clutch - belts - water pump etc all done so - clean and service and it should be gravy

Brake discs do look a bit small for 190 brakes too, although a bit hard to tell from that distance!

Manual V6's can be either 160 or 190. Easiest way to check is to put the reg no into this site.

https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

Look at the CO2 emissions a 190 will be 239g/km and a 160 will be 225g/km.

Looks like a 160 with those front brakes, if it's manual.
