2012 TDV6 3.0 ltr. Today about to overtake going up a hill, like you do in these cars and pedal to the metal it died instantly.

(Item ID: 283852829188) on eBay. The Steel Seal worked for a short time but now looking like a heads off job. I'll get a price to do but in the meantime it's advertised at £2500.  |

| Probably but kept an eye on it. Got test kit coming but just thinking it may test negative if not blown on combustion chamber. |
