4.4 V8 Buyers Guide?
Anything in particular to look out for on the V8?...presumably by the time the 2005 facelift came out all the teething problems had been ironed out?

Facelift has Valvetronic engine.......More HP, (320hp whereas old unit puts out 286hp), better,economy & performance. Worth reading up on potential expensive problems with valley pan gasket failure. Being a facelift also bear in mind that if it has a sunroof it will be a Panoramic roof - these have sometimes been known to play up be costly to sort so well worth checking this along with other kit prior to purchase.
Other ramblings, (by no means definitive or facelift 4.4i specific), are in the buyers guide as mentioned.
