Austin, petrol tank isn't under the boot floor in a P38. Wakey-wakey. ;-)


however, you then need a wing-mount petrol tank. I did this on the disco,

95 ltr filled-torroidal in the spare wheel well in the boot.
not sure you can do sill tanks on one with air suspension.

Nope, no room at the inn, as they say. Badger.

Ah, I was thinking of classics still. 's hard to keep up with Nige, 'e's got a different motor every week, just about.

Sorry, I beg to differ. Can't be 100% certain re. Gems, but the 4.6 Thor variant with the Motronic management system definitely has spark cut-off on the overrun, it's essentially the same basic embedded coding architecture within the ecu as the 4.0, only difference is a slightly altered baseline fuel map when you program from Testbook or Rovacom etc. I have no reason to doubt the Gems setup being essentially similar. Having said that, I know of a 4.6 (Gems) locally with an AEB Leonardo setup, and it runs fine, but then the owner is, shall we say, old slow and gentle!

On that, I agree wholeheartedly. Badger.

Sorry I was only referring to Gems - didn't make that clear.
