Ok,if you pop down the shops,and drive carefully to the pub,let RPI rip you off for a single point system - if you want to keep it and really work it,fit a sequential system.(Please dont believe all the cr-p on the RPI website,they are a joke in the trade.)
Sod the Land Rovers,I've had enough of them this week,and I had a day off yesterday.Running a garage doing LR diagnostic work makes for hairloss and a short temper !
Trials bikes are my release,I started competing in 1985 on a Beamish Suzuki,bit of a camel in terms of steering,but well made and reliable.Bought a new TLR250 in 86,lovely looking thing - horrible to ride.(Now worth a packet.) Traded in for a Fantic mono,new in 87,big end went a year later.Sold that and bought an 86 Honda RTL250 - the HRC mono one - also now worth a packet.Horrible thing to ride,but beautiful to look at.Short time later bought a scruffy TY250R mono - best trials bike ever made,had a lovely time with that,much more sucess than the rest and it never went wrong.
A couple of Beta's later and the House/wife/kids came along and I stopped.About 4 yrs ago I bought a nice Beta rev3 and started again,mistake - modern trials need lots of practicing and regular competition,not enough time or will to do that.Sold it and went to twinshock on a TY250,now have 3 of them,plus a 1968/9 247 Cota,(Stripped to rebuild.) and the Ty175/Serow project.BTW the 250 frame is quite different to the 175 frame - it would have been alot easier to use the 250 frame to fit the Serow engine in.The Serow was taken as a bad debt from a garage I do LR diagnostics/LPG tuning for.It has such a lovely engine with none of the horrible snatcheness of the Honda TLR/RTL engines,which you will see why I went to so much trouble to accomodate the Serow's large carb.
I want to get it ready for the Dartmoor 2day in September,but work keeps getting in the way of it.Its lots of time,2 days nearly to make the petrol tank.I can always ride the TY250 if its not done,they are a good bike,at least one of the other 2 will get converted to Majesty spec once the TY/Serow is finished.

Late in joining this discussion, but for what it's worth, I have a 1996 P38 4.6HSE with 127k miles and an OMVL Millenium system identical to the parts in the photo a page or so back, with a tank in the spare wheel well. It was fitted by a previous owner in 2002 through a LR main dealer. It had a recent service and a replacement O2 sensor at an autogas specialist and runs great on LPG. I'd even say it runs slightly sweeter than it does on petrol around town. Technician did comment that they wouldn't have installed this system a year or so later as it would've been obsolete and a multi point would've been a better system. I wouldn't know - this is my first experience with an LPG vehicle. The 4.6 has enough grunt to make it feel no different to me as far as power is concerned. I should make it absolutely clear that I have noticed one massive difference. 48p a litre and £25 to fill it up. :D
 
sorry been a bit late picking up on this one just go a single point system at a good price ( Im a very loyal custmer of rpi and have had nothing but very good advice as they no I dont take prisonors you no what I mean, I got an loder system off them at £350 all ready to fit, Ive looked arround at prices of systems and that was the best Ive found, its an itallion make called tartini (sorry if not spelt right) any how I made a start after checking all there, just one crittisum I wish they wouldnt hack wires off god dam it makes it a mess to sort out (shall be bolliking them monday) once I can get my head round where all thoes dam wires go it should be plain sailing, the tank is in and the vent piopes through the floor will be running the pipes full lengthe of chassie and some electrics wish me luck Ill need it im shure Ill end up:crazy:
