I have seen one advertised for sale with an LPG conversion and coil springs for sale online for a good price. The only problem is that I am in London and it is in Glasgow or I may have gone to have a look at it.

I have seen several posts advising against coil spring conversions. Does it reduce the capability of the vehicle? Am I right that it gives a less comfortable ride?

I am not looking to buy one right away as I have until October 2021 before the ULEZ extension. That gives plenty of time to search.

Thanks for the explanation. Can this ticking be easily heard when the engine is idling? I assume this is something to check for when buying one?

I travelled from Newcastle to Bournemouth to buy mine, flew down drove it back, absolute pleasure, and LPG NE does conversion for about £900.

Indicators are amber, therefore should be amber coloured! Otherwise they just look washed out and boyracerish

Speak for yourself

Amber looks crap on blue, my P38 does not look boy racerish

As long as they work, I don't care what colour the lenses are, the blue one has clear, the green one's have amber.

Same here. It’s just what it came with ‘95 DT shouldn’t have them they weren’t issued until way after 1995 and base models didn’t have them anyway.
Still better then a Pajero

My Pajero did over 200,000 miles, not all in my ownership, never missed a beat, nor did the Aisin Warner auto box give any trouble. sadly, because it was a grey import, I could not register it in France so it had to go.

Better off road than the P38 with LSD rear diff and if I remember rightly a centre diff lock.

To be fair they're not that bad, some vehicles sir it better than others

Black clusters!! Especially the ones done diy with a bit of spray paint!! Can't see bugger all
