I would use a number plate filler again - handy to be able to fill from either side, esp with some Shell stations using shorter hoses for 'safety reasons'

Only draw back I see is having to park further forward, by about 6ft, meaning the front of the car is in the way on smaller forecourts or those with pumps in a line side by side. Also means others sometiimes feel the need to turn round and reverse up to use the petrol pump on the same number. And ask me to step aside while they reach over for the nozzle, not realising...
1 I can't release the button without having to pay
2 That I'm going to tell them very politely to break right off and wait their rather turn

I've noticed lot of Rangies have rear filler in bumper, trouble is at Asda they can't fill it if the pump in front of LPG is in use

Yeah, same sort of thing. LPG pump not long enough, plus the heft of the pump and hose when you let go means you rearly want to be parked level to the pump outlet as the nozzle can pull and hiss. One of the reasons TB's mark 2 version is mounted to the metal cross member to save flexing the bumper.

Bumper on mine does flex quite a bit

I tend to fill up in Milton Keynes (cheaper), and that is full of the most arrogant tossers outside of London.  Needless to say, Mr Angry does come out most times I fill up (not helped by the fact that the filling station I use tends to close pumps for cleaning at about 8:30am (busiest time), because thats what time the care-in-the-community bloke starts.

So, is it best to get another manifold? then that can be drilled and fitted out, everything else put on the car and then is one session change the manifold, that way the car can remain on the road......

If I get another manifold is it worth spending time on polishing the ports...... :question :-/

i've got a spare manifold for a 2.2 here 

I just had the spare (donated from KenT) drilled and tapped, not much point polishing parts of it, just make sure the base is clean

Yep, pre drill another manifold, tap and fit nozzles.

Swap manifolds, mount injectors, fit pipes to nozzles on manifold to make it air tight, and the car is then drivable, do the rest as and when.
