No you need 4 no 8 self tappers, black japan finish!

I'd have sprayed it black, but hey it looks good

Please no datatek! I lie awake at night because of that thought and you'd be amazed how many times you can check coolant and oil levels. Mind you , my wife has a deep and unshakeable love for MGs fitted with K series engines--------------------------

Don't leave it standing if you can possibly avoid it, it'll amaze you how much can go wrong from not being used regularly.

The lists here are long and terrifying about things to go wrong! Having said that my 96 autobiography has been a paragon of reliability( now that's tempting fate!) over my 6 months of ownership, but I paid good money for a full history car that showed care. For instance when I checked underneath...

Spendid!! I went to Nottingham the other day, got robbed at Shell. The Police said "do you know who did it?" I said yes-pump6!!!!

I'd say f*** the expense and have the V8-but that's what I have! About 16-18mpg on petrol mind round country roads with a light foot, but you also get that with a single point injection LPG system, mine cost £1000 fitted from NE Autogas, I only say this cos I know they've done work in Scotland...

That bike engine should have set you up a treat-750 twin, must have had pushrods and ohv, so your rangie plant is only 4x as much, bigger gaskets, no pushrod towers, head gaskets you only use once-don't put them in the oven like your old copper ones, monster fuel injection system to remove; it's...

It'll be a big rust hunt, make sure that you've still got cross members and body to chassis mounts-that'll be the voice of experience!! Amazingly Haynes do a manual which is pretty good. The auto is doddle off road, low range D let it do the work, but be prepared for a shock as to how much a...

Your lpg idle mixture may be running a touch lean, don't know about a cold vapouriser, mine has worked down to -11 outside temp (that leaves ice on the lpg tank). Have you had your system serviced, it needs doing annually. I don't know lpg fitters in the birmingham area, sorry

I think it could be the Maf blown up by the backfire, but agree with JT, get it on diagnostics cos running it could do real damage, did it blow up the airbox?

26 to the gallon-f******* brilliant, someone has a really light foot, just proves it can be done. Mind you today fully loaded with passengers etc, got 22.5 on the road to hell (that's the A19, ask Chris Rea).

Well done on all counts

Oh yes- pull the pipe from the air filter system to the throttle butterfly off and see if the butterfly is bent, backfires can do this. If it is try straighten it but be careful, but you'll almost certainly need a new one. The mesh gauze could be blown off or mangled as well.

Not good mate, shouldn't be much pressure(if any) in the hose from rocker box, sounds like crankcase getting pressurised. Could be head gasket, blow-by past piston rings, valve seats or just major bore wear. You should only get bangs from your LPG if the mixture is too weak-is yours a single...

Sounds like someone's chopped the amplifier plug off, I think prayers to various religions are in order. I'd try to find a pink plug from an hk system, with some lengths of wire still on the pins, reconnect these to your existing wiring (in the right order!) then get a sounds4wheels adapter...

Hi clj, thank god someone gets about the same as me!! Steady mway cruising about 24mpg petrol/22 gas. These were full to full measurements, not the computer, although the computer only gave me 1.5 mpg more on petrol, didn't ask it on gas cos I've got a single point system which only asks for...

Like the reco for the sunteks on mine, feeling pleased cos they're as cheap as you can get. Thanks Jerrytlr

It's said that GG's are really quiet for a 4x4 tyre that works well off road. My p38 uses really cheap "suntek" (honestly) m&s. They perform well on the road, they've a road bias, and ok in the pathetic snow we've had this winter. I'm not expecting much at £90 a corner fitted! P38's are really...

I'd ring Peter on that, I've heard there are changes to later p38's, he'll give good advice on which wires to swap over to get functions the right way round. In respect of the dvd player, use the e-mail link above or phone him to check, he's very approachable even for a numpty like me
