Hi there - welcome to the madhouse!

RR conversion is about £4.5K retro fitted to a 4.5, mainly comprises work on top end of engine, remapped ECU, delivering probably somewhere around 400 genuine horses.

Try here for a start...

Good article in this month's Sprint on Julian Rowntree's car - very detailed explanation of how to get a genuine 420bhp++ from a Cerbie!

starter motors do go wrong eventually (get a bit hot, I think) - not cheap to replace but you can get them reconditioned if you don't want to pay for a new one

cheers
