    *** Message on April 2nd: *** As you noticed (well most of you did :)), this was an April Fool's Joke. Technical data about the mentioned V6 Diesel engine is from the (European) Jaguar XF 3.0 D – check out Jaguar.co.uk if you want to know more. The rest of the story is just imaginarily made up.

    Reverse Lockout Solenoid, Tremec T56
