They are dull & boring to me with the usual harsh FWD ride, but each to their own

I hope your not hoping it will have a lot of guts to it. 150 horses if my memory services me right. Not really sporty. Had two oil burners. Have issues with water getting in under the battery tray. bit of a mare job but can be done. Check the passengers foot well.

TBH Tunster, i'm just throwing some ideas about. interior looks a bit sparce compared to the mig but looking at reliabilty and economy to be bettered than the mig. although i genuinely love her with all my heart

after a tech2 session with TB i realised i'm a complete granny behind the wheel and need no pace at all

dull and boring uninspiring but that's just my opinion probably a reliable buy.

Is fuel costs the main issue? If so LPG is the route to go, as said before with my 2.2, i get the equivalent of 55mpg. I actually get around 27mpg on gas, but its half the cost to fill up 

Conversion costs around £600 ish, consider it paid back in under 10k miles.

What a lot of people don't realise is just how long it takes to pay back the extra you pay for a diesel, you have to do a considerable mileage to pay back just £1k

thats a fair enough assessment... but couldn't the omega be accused of the same? 

just wondering about the 180000 miles. what sort of thing apart from the usual should i be checking?

yes. to be honest. stupily ive never considered this.... but i have seen a lot of threads ''lpg gone wrong'' 

[albitz]

Cant see it being that economical tbh Webby.Its too big & heavy for that.Much like a 4 pot Omega isnt much more economical than a V6 because the engine has to work hard to pull all the weight.Its also done a lot of miles,so might just test your newly acquired mechanicing skills on a regular basis.

If done right, it will be faultless. Mine was done with help of the forum at 135k, now 157k its not missed a beat. Faultless on LPG, my system is on limit of engine power so 5k rpm+ it can struggle, but it rarely goes above 4k rpm. So its not an issue for me

soz mate... is it harder to install on the v6? 

[tunnie]

I'm not the one to really answer, but its no harder than 4 pot. V6 system tends to be a little more fussy due to extra power.

Tank mounting & pipework is very straight forward, get one of the tallented folks here to drill and tap the injectors, Kevin Wood, ChrisGixer, for example.

Its wiring it all in which can be complicated, but if you have someone who knows what they are doing, its a doddle for them. Donate to their local beer charity   

I got couple of experts up, beer + curry on me, I knew the job would be done right and worth spending the money.
