    So here I am lying in my sickbed one ear, one eye all shingled up giving a great impression of looking like a pizza 🍕 Doing my best to keep the 'F' massive entertained, and I am being chromophobicaly and ageist abused 😂 Big Rat

    I'm guessing as with a lot of diesels to many short journeys in traffic etc ive noticed that people seem to speak highly of V6 cars. Big Rat

    I stand corrected I will send myself off for an awareness course, there's a bloke on the newbie forum from up your way posting he's looking for an 'F' have a peek. To get a choice I suppose he will have to come south of the wall ! I mean border 😂 Oops there I go again.... Big Rat

    Yes good point, tell me seem to read a fair bit on hear about the issues of diesel is's still got yours ? A lot of people seem to run them as taxis around here they look in good nick with obvious no signs of excess smoke etc Just curious. Big Rat

    Looking at your car picture is it black or blue as us chromophobic blokes are very sensitive as I said 'black&blue '😂👍 The car went to a body shop near where he works and being a car bloke GTR 🙄, he watched the repair process with interest jigs pulled and repaired, performance cars value cost I guess .

    Certainly seems the case, doesn't it. He my brother in California has moved the X5's on they were converted 4 years ago, has now got a pair of Toyota land Cruisers for his landscaping business, they're not converted. At least he has now gone for Japanese reliability than the perceived German engineering, and an obvious greater ability for going off road 😏 Big Rat

    Very good I like that one, how's the weather ? Hope you've got plenty of slap on as when your back in the car if not you might not be easy to spot. Big Rat

    Always happy to bow to better knowledge, based my info on my brothers 2 X5 V8's in the states that were converted to LPG, and that was the info sheet given to him by the company that did the work, both cars subsequently suffered with valve guide problems, but that was a BMW issue which they rectified. The incentive they had at the time was a 50 percent tax back from the government on the installation. There we are still now that the Donald is in control over there all will be fine 😂 Big Rat

    Did someone mention silver ? I remember the Belfast one, mine was from Sheffield, owner shortly before I bought it came from Worcester, had it for a couple or 3 years before me. Big Rat
  21. Big Rat
    Very good, what a perceptive man you are . Big Rat
  22. Big Rat
    Make it 9 @Chuckie478 has just pm me he's up for it as well - Silver is-F the car that just keeps giving 🤣 Big Rat

    Hi John LPG Converted engines run hotter and drier when in that mode, and can in some cases if the correct recommended oil is not used it can lead to valve seat recession. Virtually all oil manufacturers have oils in their range that are suitable for example Castro GTX Modern Engine 10 W- 30. But of course it's vital to select the one for your particular vehicle- hope this helps. Big Rat

    How right you are, now this will age me I was driving my 24v Vauxhall Senator April 1992 M4 West in the early hours of the morning and it started as I got between Bath and Bristol lost count of the number of pirouettes I did on the downhill section. Thankfully that time of day not a lot of traffic, not the actual car but for the benefit of some of you young ones here's a pic.
