Can I take the LPG system off the saloon with a full take of gas? 

Erm, Tank, bloody heavy.

Only a donut tank in the spare wheel space on this one but fully understand 

[VXL V6]

You missed the largest bad point... the identity issue

Ok, I know that has been resolved to a point, but even so...

Don't think I forgot that Al, but you are right. I think it has sun glasses on too.

Just been out in it for the last time and the steering pump is giving up, and best of all it started running out of fuel 200mtrs from home the rest can go in the mower when I take the tank out.

All I need now is for this rain to stop so the tools can come out.

The 2.6 was also burning oil at the Oxford meet, more than just valve stem seals, more like piston rings I'd say  .

Yes I have seen that, could have been the sods that fitted the LPG not taking the inlet manifold off to drill it think the engine will stay in this one when it goes.

Well my 2.6 uses a bit of oil (my 3.2 doesn't use any between changes and neither did the previous one) and I'm slowly convincing myself it's piston rings as it doesn't appear to be valve stem seals.

Have you had the heads off for a de-coke, two of the valve guide seals on number one pot on the DTI were gone, after checking the valve stem size was correct I can't see any reason why they went and at only 120k

Yeh heads have been off as it had a top end rebuild about 22K ago. My long term plans probably point to dropping a 3.2 in it - It has an AR35 in it already, even with 3.0 Cams, inlet and divider it's still a way from the grunt of the bigger engines (It brings that home whenever I jump in my 3.2) although the 2.6 does consume less fuel.

I have a 3.2 lump in the garage out of the MV6 with 120k on it
Not looking for a lot for it.

You know the solution to that , if only other demands on your pocket money didn't delaying it  , it would have paid for itself by now

Indeed....

Ah well, only three MOT's over the next couple of months, what can possibly go wrong? 

To be fair the final bits and pieces are coming together for the 2.6 now, a pair of discs, OEM pads and four new tyres on the 3.2 and a pair of droplinks and rear shocks on the Alhambra and hopefully we'll be there!

Mind you, I don't fancy LPGing the 2.6 in December

Looks like I could be LPGing the Elite at the same time, only thing in my favour is the loom is sorted and even if the the 2.6 loom does not work I have another 3.2 one in the garage from the MV6
