Only draw back I see is having to park further forward, by about 6ft, meaning the front of the car is in the way on smaller forecourts or those with pumps in a line side by side. Also means others sometiimes feel the need to turn round and reverse up to use the petrol pump on the same number. And ask me to step aside while they reach over for the nozzle, not realising...
1 I can't release the button without having to pay
2 That I'm going to tell them very politely to feck right off and wait their fecking turn

Yeah, same sort of thing. LPG pump not long enough, plus the heft of the pump and hose when you let go means you rearly want to be parked level to the pump outlet as the nozzle can pull and hiss. One of the reasons TB's mark 2 version is mounted to the metal cross member to save flexing the bumper.

I tend to fill up in Milton Keynes (cheaper), and that is full of the most arrogant tossers outside of London.  Needless to say, Mr Angry does come out most times I fill up (not helped by the fact that the filling station I use tends to close pumps for cleaning at about 8:30am (busiest time), because thats what time the care-in-the-community bloke starts.

i've got a spare manifold for a 2.2 here 

I just had the spare (donated from KenT) drilled and tapped, not much point polishing parts of it, just make sure the base is clean
