After weeks of work, my 4.6 finally lives again
After repairing the damage caused by 'experts', and a full rebuild, its nice to hear the V8 again. Just got to get the front end back on and see if it drives.
So impressed I had to photograph the rev counter

That might be the one you need to move the steering from lock to lock to clear down?

Error code says LH wheel sensor so I will give it a poke. Its amazing what you have to take off to get an engine in and out
