Insurance is up soon, don't really want to re-new it, locks into a contract of sorts then.

It needs further work but its all legal.

Tax - 04/08
MOT 12/08

1999 Facelift 2.5 Elite LPG, unusual dark purple colour, LPG mixer system, will be fully working when sold.

Problems, blocked back box, noisey tappets, faded paint on wing mirror.

Other than that, its good to go.

I want to make room, for an Estate megga ...

Comeone someone take it off me, make me an offer!

forogot to add, i put a new oil cooler in and a replacement gearbox was fitted

I'd be tempted to have it cheap, if I had the space, but it doesn't look like I have.

My advise to you would be to

A) Get an oil pressure gauge, and see if the pressure is good
B) Based on that, possibly Pop the lower sump down and just check the strainer is clear
C) Remove the lifters and replace any duff ones.

Throw on a non-gen backbox, let me have a look at the LPG idle, and stick it on eBay

It goes fine now a load of the back box wadding has been removed!  

Tempted to fit your other LPG bagpipes, get it running on gas and just sell, cause it actually ran a lot quieter on gas  

I just don't have time to fix, i want shot of it by 20th Jan

Bring those better LPG bits, when it did run on gas the noise was not nearly so noticable.

Really? I wonder if it's a noisy petrol injector then!  

there is no reason a lifter would suddenly shut up on lpg but be noisy on petrol...

Well Jaime rekons its just me, but i sware blind, that first time i brought it back from Nottingham, it was on gas all the way down the M1, i got off, with the window down pulling away from Junctions it sounded sweet as a nut, went off 2 roundabouts (30 mph ish, no tappet noise)

Switched to petrol, gave it a spanking down the A43, got to brackley and the tappet noise was back.

Remember when you and me blew the crank sensor down the A43? and the gas system froze up? there was no tappets under acceleration then!

What you doing tommorow?    

[JamesV6CDX]

I am on call - if I don't get a call to go work, then I should be free...

If I came over though, I will have Swmbo and 2 dogs! Although - we could pack them off for a walk...

The fuel will make no difference if its a noisy valve or lifter.  If I'm honest, doesn't sound like a noisy injector...
