Poppers - what are you thinking???? :confused: Why would you want to pay over £1500 plus vat for something that uses recon engine parts and a used tank? :doh: See my earlier post. My conversion used new parts, is a sequential system and came with a 2 year warranty and a certificate for £1400...

I wouldn't simply go on the price. Yes, we all know that cash is tight right now, but you need to know that the job is done well and will serve the intended purpose. To simply consider cost would, imho, be a mistake. After much research, I used this company Profess Autogas - 1 Day LPG...

Just been on a 100km round trip from the campsite to visit Datatek and his missus to check that all's well with the RR. Had a nice cuppa and a biscuit and a look around their place. It's grate to know that the people on here will do anything they can to help - and it's good to put faces to the...

Update: Having thought I'd fixed it :) we found a drip coming from the front (right of centre as you look at the car) :(. Took it to the local garage who did a pressure test and found that the radiator was leaking from the bottom seam in several places! One new radiator and 700 Euros later and...

Hi Datatek Thanks for the offer - I've PM'd you. RIch

Hi guys Thanks for the replies and the offer of help Datatek. Have only now got wifi sorted at the campsite! Update: Got recovered to the site this am. Once we'd got the kettle on and had a cuppa, I started to look at the RR to see if there was anything ovious! Firstly no signs of leaking...

Thanks Datatek - seems like you've got the right places there :). We've currently got the caravan in the garage's secure compound (locked in overnight). Not the best place to camp I've been to! They plan to recover us (plus caravan) to the campsite in Airvault later this am. Once we're there...

Hi gyus, Almost made it to the campsite in Airvault when the temp guage went through the roof and the rangie started chucking water out from the expanison tank overflow. Radiator top hose was solid. As we were on the motorway, had no choice but to use the SOS phone - got recovered by a...

We did over 3000 miles 3 weeks in June on a trip from West Wales to Carcassonne and back (South of France) with the caravan - the 4.6V8 made light work of the towing and we had a very comfortable trip :). Even with the van on we got 22 mpg on gas. Happy days! We liked it so much we're going back...

We're currently in France en-route back towards Calais and the UK. Been here now for over 2 weeks. The usual stuff applies - spare bulbs, warning triangle (2 if your towing a caravan!), hi-viz vests for all in the car (must be kept in the car). We've had no problem getting petrol or LPG in...

My 4.6 got 19mpg on the weekend towing our caravan with the aircon on!:D

Just got back from the "shakedown" trip to Longleat this weekend. P38 was faultless - even returned 19mpg on LPG while towing the 'van with the aircon on most of the way! Now looking forward to the French trip! :D

My 2000 4.6 Vogue gets around 260 miles from 80L. :)

Definately the amp - my 2000 4.6 Vogue had the same problem. £430 from the main stealer fixed it.

Hi Rewmer I gave up the search and went for a replacemnt from the main stealers. A lot of cash £430, but it now works really well - great sound.

Thanks OXO - who knows where we might end up! I wish I'd posted the idea of a trip to France before booking all of the sites; we could've done the trip by staying with all of the guys on here who are out there! :p

Datatek/Ipsos - thanks guys - it's good to know that others have done the trip before without too much trouble. Thanks for the offers of help. Hopefully I won't need any, but it's always good to know that you're around if I get stuck! I plan to update the thread as we do the journey - we leave...

Hope you have a great time in Wales and that the RR remains in good shape. However, if you do need anything while you're over here, try these guys - I've found them to be very helpful and reasonably priced. They're only about 20 miles from Porthcawl. Lewis 4x4 (Independent Land Rover...

That's 84l of gas - I think it' a 95l tank.

My 2000 4.6 V8 averages around 19mpg on gas although this week I've managed to average 22! :D That's around 270 miles from a 84l tank.
