But we'd all starve!!!!!!!

It wouldn't be a Summer Camp without the barbecue master.

Only Switzerland? Not even trying.......

Out of interest, I just checked the emissions printout from my test last year (next one isn't due for another month or so). CO was 0.4% on LPG. Which isn't bad considering the cats are nothing more than empty boxes.....

I may be in the market for new Y pipe fairly soon, it's not looking that pretty, although mine has joins just after the cats so can be changed simply enough with the crossmember in place. I'd prefer to replace with another the same but it seems it depends on who you get it from whether it's in one piece or three.

and me.....

Not that much tin worm, lots of measles but not much tin worm..... Not sure if they will come off with the sidesteps still in place but the sill trims pop off easily enough. If you take the rear mudflaps off the coloured infill on the rear bumper ends come out so can be sprayed separately.

Sounds about right. I get between 13 and 16 mpg depending on whether it's running around town or on a long run (although with 3 tonnes hanging off the back I am down to single figures!). Stop start traffic doesn't seem to affect it too much it's the accelerating back up to speed that does. I would think on petrol for a similar run you'd be looking at around 18-19 so with the price difference, even though you are using more, it's still around half price give or take depending on how much you are having to pay for LPG. I filled up earlier today at 54p a litre so a decent amount less than half the price of petrol although the A1(M) services are at 67p, almost exactly half of what they charge for petrol.

Good point, apparently there's two lugs at the bottom to stop the screen sliding downwards while the goo is going off. They should have rubber blocks on them so there isn't metal against the edge of the glass. If they don't, it causes a crack to appear almost exactly in the centre of your field of vision. My SE had a new windscreen fitted just before I got it and cracked not long afterwards. I took it into a local screen fitters and it was the guy there that took one look at it and told me what had caused it to crack in that exact place.

Thanks for help, I’ll keep trying, but my patience with computers is about 5 seconds max, I tried as described and still just got link, grrrrr

Chris, you will only see the link when you are writing or editing the post, it only shows the picture when you hit Reply (or Preview). This is what my post #6 looks like until I actually send it to the board.

Just a thought, you are using the correct Insert Picture button and not the Insert Link button? This one, marked 2

Not to mention compensation for the loss of the car until they do it properly as it was due to go in for MoT as soon as the windscreen was changed.

I bought Codan 7.9mm ID hose from a local company. This is the stuff you want, https://www2.codan.com/node/28273 and I would have thought somewhere like Pirtek would stock it If you ask for that specific hose you should get it rather than some generic fuel hose..

Another new screen then, that's the only option now. At their cost too and with a barrage of CCTV cameras watching his every move. I had to have a new screen fitted to my works van so took the opportunity to tidy the back out while he was doing it. Not that I really cared whether he did a good job or not but I do have to drive the hateful little thing......

Doing just what the Classic was doing. In fact, his wrecked the front diff so he got a new one from Ashcrofts who told him that front's rarely go as badly as his had and suggested his viscous was seized. He reckons it's a different car now.

Errm, well as the front propshaft bolts up to the flange, you've have a bit of difficulty changing it if you don't. Simple enough, changed one on my mates Classic a few weeks ago. Took the two of us about two hours and half of that was spent trying to work out how to get a gearbox mount back on (as it bolts to the side of the VC housing on a Classic). Came out easily enough with gravity and a crowbar, didn't want to go back in though. His was skipping at full lock, is yours doing the same or do you just feel that it's not right?.

Gilbertd you got any advice on how to get all the trim off the sides? Are they just metal clips? And more importantly, if/when I break some can they be replaced?

Depending on which trims, there's a visible plastic nut or self tapper at one end. Take that off/out and the prise the trims out with your plastic trim removal tool. They are held in with plastic pegs in sockets and all of mine came out without breaking. See Rave, Section 76, Chassis and Body, Repair, Rubbing Strips and Door Finishers.

On Imgur, you select the Direct Link option, Click on the Copy button which highlights the link, then you use the Copy feature on your iPad (or right click and select Copy on a proper computer) and copy the highlighted link. Simply hitting the Copy button doesn't, as the name suggests, actually copy the link, it just highlights it. Then in the forum you click the Add Image icon and use the Paste function (either on the iPad or right click and paste) to put that link into the box. Click OK and the picture should appear in your post.

It can't be cleaned, it's an alloy tube with the filter element inside and a screw union on each end.

I know of one tester that thought the lack of a mention of LPG on Chart 2 meant that if the car was later than 1992 and running on LPG it didn't need an emissions test at all. I had it explained, and so did he, by one of the local senior testers (gets asked to oversee newly qualified ones) and as he said, you never start something in the middle, you always start at the beginning.

Both, you've got steel unions and an alloy filter and they can be a real pain to undo. However, worst case is to make sure you have a length of 8mm ID fuel hose and a couple of decent quality hose clips to hand. Then if you do break something you can just chop the pipes and link them with hose.

Tilly is visible by clicking the link. I'm wondering if there is a way of embedding the video clip into a post, I'll have to try playing a bit. You track looks similar, but much smoother, than the one up to my mates place in France, I'll use that to try embedding video from Youtube.

Your interior doesn't look too bad. The headlining is drooping but they all do after a while and the pillar trims are getting a bit manky. Easiest option for that is to clean the stuck on flocking off with either white spirit or hot soapy water. Leaves a clean shiny surface.

Seems Chris needs a bit of instruction. If using Imgur you need to use the Direct Link (second one down) and if using an iPad you can copy and paste like this http://iosguides.net/how-to-copy-cut-and-paste-on-ipad/.

Tried to edit your post so the picture shows but it didn't work so I'm not sure which link you have used.
