You can get a rear view mirror with a built-in TFT screen for exactly what you want  to do, do a search on tft rear view mirror on ebay

It shows.

The TVR lumps have stronger cranks/rods/pistons and higher C:R.  That's why the Bowlers had hybrid TVR/Rover engines.

The TVR Tuscan got to use the crankshafts from the abandoned "Iceberg" project, the Rover V8 Deisel :twisted:

The Buick engine fitted to the Skylark and pontiac tempest only had an ali head for 2/3 years, later they were cast iron.  Later engines had iron blocks too. Buick were making 5569 and 5752cc V8s into the mid 1980s based on the same design.

Oldsmobile also used the same basic design but developed it differently, the one "common" thing it has with the Rover V8 is the liners are pressed in whereas Buick engines had them cast in. Jack Brabham won the 1966 F1 World Cahmpionship with an engine based on an Olds block!

Then there's the Leyland P76..............

Why would it have to be wireless? You have a relatively new caravan so there are 2 spare pins in the 12s socket. I want to wire a camera in and use the 2 spare wires.

Strictly James there is only 1, as the car is wired either/or so has 3 power supplies, but the signal cable for a camera can't be fed through a normal power plug can it? aren't they normally screened :-k

Anyhoo, wireless ones are about £70 on flea-bay now, but I'm in no rush as the 'van won't get used this year.
