    Roadtrip: Scotland

    Scotland is not a great place for off roading due to the different laws on rights of way. However it is a great for scenery and camping. There are off road sites that will allow a days off roading, or even if you can manage to fit in with the dates why not spectate at the Tay forest challenge...

    Converting 130 V8 to Tdi power

    I believe it is fitted with the LT77S, but may be LT85 not sure how to tell the difference. Will the 300 fit the LT77?

    It has an LPG conversion, but where I live there are very few LPG stations about and they often run out! So spend a lot of time driving between then on petrol! Not ideal.

    The V8 as fitted is not exactly impressive, could replace carbs tune up etc, but would still have the fuel economy problem.
