    No.... But I am really embarrassed to say, and a little sad to say, I will be putting a for sale sign in its window this weekend :( I'm kicking myself.....

    I love it's simplicity, no power steering and brakes will certainly take some getting used to..... My wife will hate it though when she gets in it.... It's hard to explain, can't or what it is but I don't think what it is, is for me.... :( I didn't understand that when it was mentioned by...

    He is old school, serviced it every year even though last year he only did 64 miles.... Tons of paperwork. So, I now own it.... Trouble is, I think I've changed my mind already..... Did a tiny bit off road and it was fantasticly smooth though. What's the N for between low and high?

    Why Cooltide, because it's a v8? Or the fun/horror of first time getting a Landy?

    I've decided at this price it's worth buying and seeing how I get on with it for a few weeks. It's one of those cases where I'm buying as much from the chap as the vehicle as he has had it so long, has been great at honest answers, no rot (apparently) etc. Etc. Etc. At end of day I reckon I...

    Good point. Never thought of that. According to DVLA it has no seats as they never filled that part in when moving from MOD to civy street :)

    That's it, he was saying more modern ones don't need it but on old ones you need this device to be able to do that.... Short story another tick in the pros column :)

    LPG was fitted in 2010 at 94,000 miles by mint LPG Ltd. My only worry is the very low power. Great that it's the more reliable engine but will I be left for dust by standard 2.5 diesels?

    According to the serial plate on this it is only 90bhp so very little power for a 3.5 but hey, I'm not wanting to race. Being 26 years old and adding the LPG I'm guessing I'll be around 80bhp on a good day ;)

    I hope to find out more tomorrow but it's a bit of an ugly duckling job so if chassis etc. Is as solid as he says, then with full respray, sort interior and tune engine I'll easily loose another £3000 so total cost circa £7000.... But it would be a nice motor then and more reliable than the...
