I had a P38 about 10 years ago and for some stupid reason just bought another one - X reg 2000 Vogue on LPG. What could possibly go wrong? :crazy:

Anyway, apart from the dodgy nearside headlamp, iffy ns side-light, stiff accelerator and non functioning cruise control I'm happy (if a little scared).

On the plus side it has a decent coil suspension conversion so whilst I have lost that gadget I don't have that worry (the previous owner clearly had a major headache over suspension looking at the old receipts).

I'm now off to look for solutions to cruise control (seen some already, clearly a problem).

See you over in the Rangie section.
Cruise is an easy fix but admitting that you have coils might raise a few eyebrows.

Coils arnt that bad mate if you've got them so what. Unless all the gears still there the cost of going back to air would be massive. See you in the rangie section
