I have read that the Thor engine is less prone to dropping liners than the Gems engine ?

Thanks very much Lpgc.
Thor engined P38"s seem pretty thin on the ground near me.
The closest I have found one is just over 90 miles away & is overpriced in my opinion, especially as it has a few problems mentioned.
I am not discounting one that has already been converted but am also not discounting one still on petrol & getting the conversion done, by you.
I will just have to keep looking & learning what is acceptable, ease of repair & cost wise, & what is not.

I am in South Wales & looking at what is available buying one that has not already been converted might be easier than one that has & as mentioned would save me inheriting any LPG problems.
I have already been in touch with Lpgc.

Looking online it looks as if I might have to travel a few miles to be able to look at some as there doesn"t appear to be any close to me.

Well my mind is made up, P38 V8 "Thor" engined so 99-2002 ? on LPG & as unmolested as possible it will be.
Still on air suspension, more service history the better & fewer owners the better.
See what I can find.

New member here & hope this is the right section to be posting this.
I am not new to 4x4"s having previously owned LR 88, 90, 110, Disco 200 & 300, 2 Shoguns, a Daihatsu 4Trak & an L200 pick up.
I am now in the market for another 4x4 & am tempted to get a P38 as I have always liked the look of them.
Mechanical & electrical work I can do myself but not welding or bodywork.
My use for the vehicle would be around 3-4,000 miles a year mainly motorway & A roads not towing & very occasional towing of a 1.5 tonne boat set up.
I have a van I use for work & running around town.
I am tempted to go for a V8 petrol with LPG conversion as that will basically double the mpg compared to petrol cost wise but would also consider a diesel.
However having previously owned Disco 200 & 300 I am thinking that the P38 diesel will be a bit sluggish ?
All advice/suggestions gratefully received.
TIA.
