IIRC Jaime used a decent single hole valve on the bullet with no problems. Tank might well be getting close to 10 years now anyway, if you wanted to get it certified.

Indeed. Thought it uses the BRC high-flow multivalve, which Teilo reckons would (just about) be fine to 225bhp (which is what I estimated to him that a chipped 3.0l would be).

That said, if buying new kit now, I'd defo spend the extra on a 4 hole tank

No, mine was eBay, just checked. Stag4 ECU so won't do 6 pots.

I might know of a Stag300plus setup going cheap .  Comes with a 3.0l auto attached to it

Does it come with free curry powered fitting?

If I'm brave enough to inspect the sills, it may/may not be available .

I might ask a grown up to take the sill covers off while I look the other way...    ...where is that Mr Gixer when you need him


TBH, your threads and my recent searching, have given me the desire to sort the Bullet, as there is nothing out there that is as good (comfortable mile muncher, quick enough to have some fun in, competent in the twisties, and dirt cheap to run)

Bet you have a better budget that I, Jag XF, Rangies all an option.

I'm dropping the 2.2 down for it's MOT tomorrow, a month early... shall see what happens. Driving back today, I do want something with air-con that works

Really?  What makes you think that?

Jag XF's are super comfy, you'd want the later 3.0 rather than 2.7d, I think they are good looking cars too. Sure it could be stiffened up to your liking, various XF-R bits?

Was on about the budget, not the car.  I was lucky enough to "borrow" (don't tell that Wyatt fella ) an XF for most of the day, struggled with the seats TBH.  And it was a hot day, and the A/C didn't work.

v6 diesel hits top tax as well

Seats aside (and the small cabin and boot for its size), I can't fault the car or its ride.

Ohh!

MrsT has not worked for years, so I'm funding her car needs as well. Little point in her working with Little Miss T about, better off not working and get to see her.

I imagined you would have a better budget, no little ones to run   

[aaronjb]

I ordered my Omega replacement-replacement on Saturday (since technically the Ranger was the Omega replacement ) ... it does not fit into the budgets above

Details 

I took 3.2 to work today, no school means no traffic and I reset the everything in BC, I averaged 27mpg apparently!

I just need to bribe a fatty little admin with curry, in exchange for some LPG fitting 

[aaronjb]

Yeah, 22mpg on gas would be pretty good as a commuter car actually.

So, this is why I shouldn't be allowed in car dealerships:


 

2.0 190 TDi, DSG (yes, I can already hear the screams from the peanut gallery  ) black on black on black (metallic black paint, black leather, piano black interior, anthracite wheels), dealer wanted rid of the showroom car so got a reasonable deal as they'd specced a bunch of options I like but wouldn't have paid for (panoramic roof, flappy paddle steering wheel, droppable boot floor, parcel shelf - which I would describe as a "package hammock", in-boot rear seat latches, mobile-phone control of the stereo  etc) and as the L&K it comes with a spec list that has essentially everything else; dynamic chassis control, LED lighting, radar cruise etc..

Should collect it this week

[tunnie]

Very nice 

I did like the Superb, but my budget was a fraction of yours 

Hope it serves you well
