Got the rangie idling nice on LPG.Got it idling better on petrol (for the odd time I need it).Got the new air filter cone fitted away from where it might short the=20coil, and in a colder spot (in the spare battery tray) using one of them=20cheap tin foil corrugated "ducting" pipes.Got the top tailgate bottom seal properly reattached with contact=20adhesive (removed it, cleaned off all the previous attempts worth of=20glue, gunk, silicon and filler first) so quieter and less rattly now.Got the cheap VR3 headunit I fitted to accept the bluetooth connection=20from my phone. Works great for =A3100 and I can play tunes from my phone=20memory card through Bluetooth through the speakers.I don't normally get this kind of luck.Just need to sort out a fuel gauge for the LPG now. I could hookup the=20LEDs on the switch, but then it is out of line of site.I might as well find the resistance of the tank gauge feeds and then=20raid the scrappies for something old with a similar resistance or buy a=20cheap gauge and pod mount it. That way I get a proper needle gauge at=20eye line. It doesn't need to be particulary accurate, just to give me an=20idea so I switch to petrol as little as possible.--=20Carl RobsonAudio stream: Playing at home:Front Line Assembly-A Decade

S'quite good fun, needs a bloody good service and the balance pipe sorting, it's now back on the original alloys, but they're *mint*, the Recaros unfortunately weren't possible to get (turns out they belonged to the owner, not the car) but these are the original immaculate SE seats - which are also near perfect, and there are no picnic tables.

Bit gutted, but the suspension is unreal - it has about the same body roll as the Golf...

Was originally covered in walnut, Bentley style, but the veneer cracked to a previous keeper had it retrimmed in leather.

I'm going to get it re-veneered.

Good idea. The leather looks awful. The walunt looks amazing.

Just bought and fitted one! The BT car kit is *ok*; it functions well and the incoming sound is great but people say I sound a bit faint but they can understand me ok. The music sound quality is a lot better than my old head unit; I'll have to go buy some decent speakers now...
