LPG Range Rover - Am I Deluding myself?

<< < (4/6) > >>

petergalileo:
replacement inner wings easy enough to get hold of, took 2 of us a day to do.Its a common problem and has recently become an mot test item so there should be a few out there that have had them replaced anyway.

Range Rover Blues:
Recently become an MOT item? is that purely becasue of the extended zone for corrosion around the body mount, now 300mm IIRC.

The top face of the inner wing is not really testable as it's non-structural.

JasonW:
Thanks for your input so far. I ended up with a MY 1989 Vogue SE with LPG which has had a new engine/gearbox 15,000 miles ago, 1" lift springs with new shocks, steering box guard and heaps of other stuff with bills showing the last owner as having spent over £11k on the car in the last two years! Eek.

The one area I want to address is the LPG tank which is mounted in the boot and only has a 55 litre capacity and I'd like to change this for either a larger capacity doughnut tank or twin torpedo tanks. Can anyone recommend a converter in the Surrey area? Any ideas on cost?

Yoshi:
Unless you desperately need room in your boot then dont go with torpedoes, cos if you go off road there is too much risk of damage!

Just looking to replace the rad on my 3.9 EFi Auto.  I have had quotes from £162 and up (includes VAT but not including delivery).  If you are going to the hotter places then just check to see if your rad was included within the 11k of repairs.  I ended up overheating mine and I ended up blowing the head gasket - not a nice job and over £250 in parts and skimming not including the labour - you do not want to be doing that in Spain!

Has anyone any suggestions of where to find radiators at a reasonable price (I am located in Bury so around that sort of area), though I did not think the £162 was too bad.
