    LPG Conversion

    Hi I've got a Series 3 LWB Petrol 2.25 that I want to get converted to LPG (for obvious reasons). At the moment I have to add Lead addative as it hasn't been converted to unleaded. Does anyone know if I need to get it converted to unleaded before I can get it converted to LPG?:confused:

    I found a 29 year old Series 3 LWB that had never been welded and still has no rust. engine had only done 24k so carb needed cleaning. After changing ignition parts etc.. and other old parts that wanted changing & getting a full lube/oil service it cost me £1800. Should out last me. Don't rush...

    What diffs do I need

    I've seen that some guys recommend just swopping the rear diff. How does this effect the vehicle in 4wd?

    What diffs do I need

    People Calm down!!:eek: I'm going to get a LR specialist to fit them if I decide that's the route I wish to take. All I wanted to know is that if by changing the diffs it would improve the road performance of my landy an drop the revs so I'm not putting so much strain on the gearbox.

    What diffs do I need

    OK, now very confused. I use the old girl as a daily drive to and from work mainly which is a 20 mile round trip. I can trundle along at 50 mpg but it sounds like the gearbox is working too hard & screaming! and I didn't want to put so much pressure on the gearbox. :confused:

    2 probably stupid questions

    Hello Q1. Can I use used engine oil to protect the underneath of my SIII, such as the petrol tank & axles? Q2. How can I increase the speed of my S3 without installing an overdrive. Appologies if these questions are offensively stupid:doh:
