They're not too bad, when compared to other diesel 4x4's of the same era,

Your a boy racer with a gentleman's carriage.

No No Alan

I'm partially deaf from old tratter engines when i leave werk and i like to waft home in a near silent effortless carriage

Hence why i don't have a stupid exhaust on my V8

Well that's one saving grace.if your partiality deaf then you won't hear the 2.5

Keep up the good werk and keep wafting.

Sorred the airbag fault message and replaced the rear lens that some scrote bust in a car-park before driving off with no note. Also fixed up the instrument binnacle surround a bit so it has a least 1 screw now holding it in place.

Liners won't drop as mine is maintained

Plus i'm building a 5.2 to go in it eventually

Very ECO friendly NOT. By the time you do it they will be banned from the road.

So it's not just Spain and it's islands Keith, got out of Fuerteventura last night 15minutes after the closure deadline for the airport ?? All schools, bars restaurants closed, military at road junctions preventing movement of more than one person . In bed at 0500 but glad to be back. Been shopping today and anyone needing that many toilet rolls should have seen a doctor weeks ago. Anyway took the maintenance charger off, checked the tyre pressures and went for a run.

I was thinking about you Alan and wondering if you would stay put or try to make it back. Stay well.

CO2 is which is inherently lower on a diesel engine than a petrol engine which is why diesels became popular in the first place. The CO2 when running on LPG is 10-20% lower than when running on petrol but still higher than an equivalent diesel I admit However, although CO2 is a greenhouse gas it is the other things that are of most concern these days. The particulate emissions on a diesel P38 will be very high (as it is too old to have a DPF), considerably lower on a petrol P38 and virtually non-existent on a petrol engine running on LPG. It's also a far less complex hydrocarbon than petrol without any of the additives petrol needs to have so the NOx and other carcinogenic emissions are virtually nil too.

So my LPG V8 well I admit isn't clean as a new renna twingo.

It is still good for it's age, and tbf the trucks I work on probably put out in 6 months what my V8 puts out in a decade.

Last mot on LPG showed an emissions reading of CO 0.03%, HC 21ppm

So not too bad

Sprayed the inside of the door with hammerite underseal while the door card is off, I'm still waiting for the plastic and the Butyl Rubber Glue Tape

Yep that should stop the ALUMINIUM doors from rusting

Might stop them corroding don't you think? The alloy corrodes through quite easily.
