Pretty sure its empty.....if you tap it it sounds VERY empty...

They do leak - VERY slowly - so if it stood very low for say 6 months it may be empty

Yes, it has been stood for at least 6 months.

No James, it will go on the road when it is ready to go to be MOT'd, the lpg can wait until that little matter is done...  ;)

I am rather pleased with the before:



and after engine pics...



It was dirty though....so clean as you go as it makes the parts easier (and nicer) to handle on re-assembly

Spent 40 mins on it last night, changed the coolant twice and fixed the rad cover back on....it needed the fixings drilling out and some thread inserts fitting....

Cleaned the idle valve out again....it nows idles at a steady 500rpm and starts on the button every time.

Got the radio working, only a blown fuse....passenger side rear speaker isnt working though....

A few more coolant changes and then its onto the brakes (need to get anti freeze and brake fluid as I have none) followed by a dam good clean....
