Drove from Sheffield to London.....London to Sheffield, no drama & still have a quarter tank of LPG left.

I'm surprised you didn't slip a liner or crack your block on such a long journey Martyn. What with running LPG in a V8 and all. Datatek would never believe it!

Yeah i know, i understand this happens every 300 miles on a V8, every 600 miles for cam wear. That's if it survives the explosion from the LPG tank in the back of course

My V8's running like a dream - only three new engines this week.

I think I've just done the easiest job on a P38!!!

And no its not scrapping it!!!

I've just changed the headlight wiper blades. Popped the old ones out and the new ones in. :banana:

Simples!!

Thought about setting it on fire !!

After brake fiasco (still not 100%) the bloody steering is playing up !
Had some death wobble a while back so changed the damper... not long after, the steering started to tighten up... so it will track in a straight line ok but cornering takes more force on the steering than usual ??.... which varies from day to day ?
Have had a look on here but nothing similar... so new steering box, or is it the pump ??

Yeah. It's 370 miles for me on a 80 litre tank

MrGorsky · Feb 8, 2014

That's bloody good! I get about 235 miles from 73 litres. Or about 14.5mpg..... and I thought that was quite good!

tomcat59alan · Feb 8, 2014

Nothing, did look out of the window and watched the elements wash it. My thoughts go out to all those in the South West that are suffering in the floods
