Re: [doc] Re: MXI 4811 on hold for another year!(James Hartshorn)



Hello old friend... :o)
 
Hope you enjoyed the NEC (last time we talked I think?)
 
Didn`t know you were still on this list!!?.
 
I wouldn`t say I was copying you (well ok you got me thinking about a rangie!!).... It just seems that we both like the same smart vehicles.. be it DMC or Rangie!!!.
 
Yep it seems that MXI will have to stay off the road for a bit longer, but this does mean that I can take my time and do everything that I wanted to before any classic car shows!...
 
I don`t really know what coversion I would get yet, still looking into it. but for now I am very happy with it... switch it into sport mode and it`s abeast!! (unlike the old Disco 2.5 diesel!!).
 
Hope you and Nat are well...
 
Merry Xmas and a happy new year!!

Alan, MXI (James`s old De Lorean) and the rangie

Yep I'm saving to get my 4.0l V8 converted.

Normally starts around £1500, Rangie will cost around £2100
LPG company said they'll only fit the newer multipoint convertion for 
Range Rovers, single point conversions can cause backfire and may 
need a chip to compensate.
Newer conversions are automatic now, they'll start on petrol 
autoswitch after about minute to gas, if it runs low it'll switch 
back over to petrol, but you'll still have the over-ride switch to 
swap over if need be.

If you get the donut tank that fits in place of the spare wheel, you 
can get the tyres filled with a special gel, apparently you could run 
over a stinger and it'll get you home, or you could just carry a 
couple cans of tyreweld with you.

You can still inflate them as normal, it'll just mean the rims will 
have to be washed and refilled when you get a tyre replaced.

On the subject of the governments help on LPG, I looked into this and 
apparently a Range Rover doesn't quite sit within the boundaries of 
their grant.
Probably if you bought a fart box size of a car, you'll be eligible, 
but why get 1.0l car gas converted?

I'd like to see what's actually classed as eligible.
