Subject: Re: V12 Engine oil
Thank you for that help, I will certainly remove the sump plate and clean out the sludge. They sell a monograde oil (SEA40) for high mileage engines here (South Africa taxi market) I think that would be a good starting point. My car has the Cotal electric gearbox which seems to work fine and was the only one factory fitted.
I was told that in our ambient temperatures overheating could be a problem ,hinted at by the previous owner, so apart from cleaning out the cooling system I was considering one of those auxiliary electric water pumps in the bottom hose, do you have any experience of this system?.
I will need lots of help on all aspects of the rebuild so I really appreciate your assistance.
