You do not have to lose the load space. My conversion has two small tanks, both fitted underneath, one at the rear and one under the passenger seat. It is a really simple installation, has the usual problem that to switch over you have to starve the carbs of fuel then switch. In the summer...

Looking forward to the pics. Sounds like alot of it has been removed. The solenoid may well be the one that switches off the petrol when the gas is switched on. As things are a bit confusing - make sure that there are no leaks in that area before much else.

Top tip - Fett will be right - ignore comments about carbs...

Suggest that you take some pictures and post them. This may help. Without wishing to be ungratious, if you are not confident in the parts used in an LPG conversion, suggest you leave well alone. Why not just leave it switched off - it will not effect the engine at all. What you may find is...

To check the earth, simply get a decent quality jump lead and connect it to the - terminal on the battery and clamp it to the case of the coil - if it still doesn't start - it isn't the earth. Alternative simple check - get a 12v bulb, put the + to the coil lead, - to the car body (or jump...

Hi, for what it is worth, although I have never had a Rover V8 idle over the winter, I have had a few boats that were unused Oct to Mar. Each time, until the engine had really been cooked they smoked - wouldn't worry at all until you have done at least a couple of hours at temperature. By...

Of course it could be many things, stating the obvious, go through the service items. If you want a guess, Distributor Cap.

Fine looking wagon Boris - is that the Wolf roll bar on it?

Never admit to having a mechanic look at your car on this forum!! I have even had to stop my butler cleaning my landie to prevent more abuse. By the way, if this is all that is wrong with your car, sounds like you have got a really good one - enjoy.

There is a simple law in life - more cylinders is better. V8 feels good, sounds good, scares small children and furry animals when you put your put down....all good. You know it makes sense...

Sypher, you are such a tease - I was nursing a semi when I saw the picture - normal service was resumed when I saw the price. Seriously though - do you reckon that I could hire one?

Thanks gents.

What was wrong with Holley, your MPG sounds great - what was the performance like? I get around below 15 to the gallon with my carbs - but then I do drive like a tart!

All being well, my new hood kit will be arriving from Exmoor Trim on the 18th... So, I could do with some advice. Riveting. I have a hand riveter to attach the studs for the hood onto the side. Are hand riveters OK or are those scissor types better? - is there much difference? And rivets...

Do you have a photo of what you mean. Hope you have a great time with your new Landie

Stop thinking in terms of cost, think in terms of social investment; - without you, what would those bazy lastards in Greenpeace have to complain about - how would half the Middle East afford to drive nice cars - the South West of England would not benefit from global warning In future...

Should have searched harder. Fleabay link: Raised Upper Seat Belt Bracket For Soft Top Land Rover | eBay UK ....

I am converting my 90 to a soft top. Like a fool I have not purchased all the parts. There is one bit that I had my eye on but now cannot trace. It was a seat belt bar, advertised on fleabay for a quite a while, and I think elsewhere. It isn't on fleabay now. It was alot lower than a full...

Hi Gents, Sorry to jump in... Are the differences only that this is how they were made or are they significant. I have had my 90 converted from 3.5 to 3.9 but did not change the exhaust. Would this cause any performance issues? Cheers

The answer is simple to the fuel shortage. Ban anyone from buying fuel if their cars have less the 8 cylinders and less than 3.5L. I simply cannot think why no-one has thought of this before?
