Title: Form an orderly queue please
Post by: Leomas on 11 October 2008, 16:47:11
Had a visit from JamesV6CDX today to hand over some bits and I shamelessly took advantage of his expertise to check over my heap. It has a few issues at the moment and the verdict seems to be that although none of them are too unusual or even that hard to sort out, they are beyond my skills and resources to fix as I have no off-road area to work in. Oh, and I'm mechanically hopeless.
Will be taking piccies and chucking them on my website shortly for all to giggle over but this is a good moment to check those bank balances.
Not sure what will replace it, may even have to go back to two wheels (a BMW of course, I do have standards) but it has been damn good fun.

That LPG kit - I would get a diag cable, it might be something very simple. If you can sell it as running on gas (even with the gearbox fault) you'll have more hope.

The drive issue/thump - feels very much like a thrust washer, would either need replaced, or a fresh AR25 on there.

Thanks for the laptops, top deal, I'm just re-building the inspiron as we speak :y

Glad to see you are home OK, long day for you trekking all the way here and back. Will be having a word with the guy that did the conversion to see if he has a cable or maybe could do it for me (I know, I should learn to do more for myself).
