    TD5 or V8???

    Does lpg cause more problems? My thought at the moment is this: lpg is half the price of diesel, V8's do half the mpg so it should cost the same per gallon to run?

    TD5 or V8???

    Norseman why avoid one that's been converted already? Im planning on viewing one on Fri thats been done. Owner said its got 62k on the clock but also had a new engine 2 yrs ago at 50k. Do they get too hot on lpg?

    Littlewill we have a growing family so the extra seats will be needed. Plus my mrs will be the main driver and a RR is a bit big for her to park in Swansea without it getting scuffed by others.
