I posted last week a 1600 dollar score on a 2003 s-type 4.2l. Well the car had been sitting for 2 yrs with out being started. Today i recieved my new fuel pump, cleaned out fuel tank completely, put on new fuel filter, new injectors, new brakes pads and rotors. also put in a new transfer pump. Turned the key to number 2 position and then the sweet sound of that fuel pump was music to my ears. After several times starting and stalling, she roared to life. yes happy dance time. need to bleed brakes and put new rims and tires on. Dmv in A.M. my wife was so pleased and so am I. hope you all enjoyed the update,pic soon

Congratulations Norm ...

Your excitement and pleasure traveled loud and clear all the way over here to Australia;

The fact that your wife shares in the excitement, is icing on the cake ... priceless beyond pearls.
I am also fortunate in having a wife who shares the passion, so I know how valuable that is.
You have brought sunshine to our day; and a spring into our step!

Many thanks for the update,
Ken
