Hey join the club - just bought a 4.5 - been driving a jag for the last few years it bloody great to be really driving again. oh by the way how hot is hot? the temp reads 90 degrees but in traffic it climbs to 102 degrees. it never gets any hotter but i'd rather ensure that the temp didn't do any damage to the engine.
What should the oil pressure be? it has not moved from just to the right of verticle.
Also tail pipe fell off yesterday when I gave the car a bit of a heavey right foot session. Showing a pair of heals to one of the I may not have as fast as car as you but I'm a better driver types that decide to stick 2 inches behind ya chuff. Is it a case of just sticking it back in and welding around where it meets the box or am I into a new baox and tail pipes?

I've just purchased a Cerbera 4.5 at the age of 23, the car has only done 11k and is proving the best toy i've ever bought, the power is crasy! However, does anyone notice they seem to be a bit jerky at low speeds when the revs are around 2k-they seem to grumble and want to go faster!! Apart from that and checking for M3's and Impreza's that have been sucked into the airfilter no problems-touch wood!!
Alastair's - I have posted this on ano thread but I was told the engine management system is very intelligent so if you drive like an old woman it keeps the engine in old woman mode and if you drive like Russ Hughes (!!!) then it will keep the engine in race tuscan condition. As you can see I'm not technical I just enjoy driving my 4.5.
I have been told that if you find your nearest straight, safe and quiet road then accelerate to top revs in 2nd and third and keep going til you bottle it then the engine management system thinks its at the race track and will compensate!
I have done it and I think it works. I do a lot of motorway miles so mine gets the old woman syndrome quite a lot so I have great fun at weekends getting it back into shape.
Try it in yours and let us know...
