    Does anyone use their P38 Offroad

    It's not a dislike of bigger tyres per se, what you do is up to you it's your car, all we're doing is offering you our take on things. You say you're from a rocky area so why not fit a good all terrain tyre with a higher ply rating to help prevent punctures, fit some diff guards and learn...

    What exhaust.

    My old Td5 had centre silencer replaced with a straight through pipe, slightly noisier, lovely whistle and 5 cylinder thrum though ;) I did this (along with junking the EGR and fitting a Pipercross air filter) and saw a marked improvement in performance and economy! Never saw a need to...

    vibration at 60mph through car

    Even something as simple as reassembling and leaving the washers out on one bolt can do enough to cause a vibration. My old disco had a terrible vibration from the rear and it was two bolts on the rear coupling each missing two washers that was the cause of it.

    Can you value this?

    Only a genuine factory V8 90 CSW in good overall condition would be worth that kind of money, it's unusual but not original and originality commands that sort of price

    Disco v8 went bang!

    Ignition too far advanced causing the LPG to ignite back through the plenum to the air box, toasting your MAF en route, it's a bit of an Achilles heel with single point LPG systems
