My dad has a Powerflow system on his 'toy' Belmont. He's put in a X20XEV with a counter-rotating balance shaft in the sump, it had a standard X20XEV before that and prior to that it had a C20NE (the 8 valve SOHC version of the famous Red-Top), so the sump was completely different and hence the standard front pipe wouldn't fit, plus he'd fiddled the engine and things so he bought a port-matched manifold and had the whole exhaust done in 2 inch pipe.
I don't even know if he still has it. I really liked that car. I grew up with it.

Failed miserably or failed "how did Tom not spot that, he can be such a retard" failed?
Tried to be as polite as possible when i phrased that bud.
Had it been a Zuk failing an MOT i'd have been a lot more sypathetic / less insulting.

Doesn't sound too major. Also sounds like some retard stuff.
Empty washer bottle?
As for the steering. All landrover have crap steering so how do you tell if its knackered?
