Yup, bit concerned that it might not start with the low temps today, but there was enough petrol to start it

Depends how long the CID has read zero... We both know it talks a load of 'dangle berries' when you've been running on LPG ::)

I actually filled the petrol tank up a couple of weeks back... Long journeys late at night so didn't want to rely on LPG availability ::) Plus I got fed up with seeing the petrol light flashing!!

Yesterday -changed the oil / oil filter / air filter and cleaned the breathers. Also found the reason for a small amount of coolant loss over several months. Top rad hose clamp wasn't pushed onto the hose far enough and was allowing a slight weep.
This has reduced the number of items on the Omega to do list down to below three figures - just.  ::)

Is that a polite term for a time-waster, or a carpark leprechaun, so no sale.
