Title: 3.2 Elite
Post by: alunonhisown on 17 March 2010, 11:54:19
My Peachy is going up for sale soon as I am being moved from Pontypridd to Sully. I cannot sustain the extra mileage this will put on Peachy, so I am going to see what you guys think I should ask for it.
Just need it to go to France this weekend, I have the coilpack at last, took nearly a week to deliver.
As soon as I come back from France it will be offered here before I put it on the Bay Of E.
Please, let me know what you guys think. I am going to be looking for a diesel.

Your case has just changed by the increase in mileage ...  :)

Peachy is a nice car..........after you sold her, you would spend time without a car finding a good one, and it may not be as nice as what you have got. Check out LPG installation companies, I have been quoted from £900 onwards, and am considering it myself as mine is a 3.0.............and you've done so much already, so why not "bite the bullet" if you can afford it, cos an oil burner (good as it is) just does'nt sound or go like a V6 (IMHO) having had V6s for the last few cars (and still own a few) a diseasal is a dissapointment unless its modified and chipped up.

It's the 2-4-6 side that's causing you trouble isn't it? I managed to do the one on the MV6 myself, it's actually much easier to do than you think.
However, if you still want to sell it...send me the details (as I've forgotten them) and I will write you a detailed advert which you can then post in this thread if you would like  :y

Only 'excepted vehicles' (Public Notice 75 - Appendix C) can use rebated heavy oil (red diesel) as fuel when used on the public road.

Using rebated heavy oil as road fuel in anything other than an 'excepted vehicle' may render that vehicle liable to seizure. Also, financial penalties may be imposed on the owner/driver of the vehicle.

Public Notice 75 Fuel for diesel vehicles provides further, detailed information.

Like I say, I'll happily pop the coil on there next time I'm in South Wales.... (I guessed no real urgency, as it's not currently misfiring?)
