It's probably a good idea to run it on petrol for while so the Motronic adapts properly before you try and map the LPG.
I'm glad you can't see The Duchess at the moment, winter roads are not kind! Roll on Spring and I'll be able to do more than Karcher the underside...

Locktite should come up with something to fix that problem. Or maybe they already have?
Gotta say Mr Orange, you're really getting stuck into that truck - I admire your determination!

Yep, VEEAM is worth every penny and more. Off-brand SATA disk arrays on the other hand.... not so much. Of course, the budget meeting to approve their replacement is on Wednesday. If I make it that far!

Swap you for a set of iSCSI storage arrays that have failed in a new, wonderful way and taken out lots of important stuff on their way down. OK, I'm warm and dry but I'm shitting bricks right now. It's taken me six hours to beat VMWare into shape to start receiving restore jobs. Payroll on Monday - this could make me very unpopular!

I think he's busy fixing everyone else's problems!

I'll let you know how the LED Headlights + Nightlighter supplimentary mains compare with the Nightlighters/ KC Daylighter combo on my blue one. Main beam I'm not too fussed about but with my deteriorating night vision I'm hoping for great things from dipped LED lights

I'm trying to decide if it's worth £70 to cause my MoT tester to scratch his head and have to get his book out.

I don't know if this will affect you/your eyes but there is a law of diminishing returns when it comes to super bright dipped beams. I found with various sets of HIDs on a BMW that once you pass a certain point the amount of light coming back at you from the road starts to make it difficult to see anything beyond the area illuminated by the dipped beam.

Obviously this is going to vary case by case but it's not always true that brighter is better. If your eyesight changes are making it difficult for you to cope with contrast and dazzle you might find that this point is reached earlier than you would otherwise suspect.

If Salvador Dali painted headlights....

Fantastic news Marty - I bet that's a great weight off your mind :)
And what a mate Sloth is!

What was the verdict on the old engine? Will it run again or is it off to the great dyno in the sky?

You could try sticking a 5W-40 in there for the winter

I'd run it all year round, except The Duchess likes a bit of a drink.....
so she only gets 10/40 semi

I gap my NGKs to 0.7mm but that's standard for my Jeep. Haven't changed any plugs in the Range Rover yet. I vote for standard plugs, standard gap - and NGK are top of the heap. LPG does need a decent spark, so you might notice a shorter service life but nothing that makes the super expensive "LPG specific" plugs worthwhile.

There's some bloke called Marty near Swindon.. or so legend goes.. I hear he's pretty handy ;)

It's all fun and games on the internet! :)
I'm happy to play with food and fire, so bring on the next opportunity!
Sadly I'm a bit shite with a spanner....

Gotta say Marty - you don't hang about!!

Gordon,
not sure if you've noticed but Firefox is freaking out over the site cert....
Cheers!

Hurrah!
Happy new year!
We're a bit behind in Yorkshire ☺
Looking forward to seeing more of you lot this year. Maybe a long convoy of p38s to a landrover show? It's about time the p38 showed the hoi polloi how it's done!

:popcorn:

CV joint on the front drive shaft? That's what I'd say if it was a jeep....

Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm praying for snow - time to have fun with 4x4 :)

It's pretty fascinating! I had the software to connect to the old system on my Jeep and I was able to get a decent idea of how if worked, if not how to fix it :)

Only if you show them the receipts for the new parts.....that WOULD be bad :P
