Go for a Diesel. (I run mine on veg oil in the summer, well cheap :D ) Like everyone else says, LOOK OUT FOR THE DREADED METAL MOULD. also, try to get one with some history. It proves that the previous owners have been fairly conciencious (sp?). I keep every single sodding reciept for mine, in the vain attempt that it will be easier to sell when the time comes. There are loads about at the mo. Its a buyers market, so if you have any doubts, walk away. There will be another one along shortly :)

I used to own a VM powered WJ, and I'm with Peter here. You really need to consider the potential cost of repairing an indirect injection VM. Poor oil flow in the upper galleries due to bad design causes overheating and cracked heads. You might get lucky, but there are too many stories of people being unlucky and paying £1500 and upwards to fix it.
An LPG 4.0 is the way to go.

The only thing with LPG that really bugs is in some areas it's hard to come by.
I'm lucky where I live, there about five place within 10mins drive. but whenever I drive out of my area I have to get on the net and search out the gas stations that are near my route.
