I really Like the look of the Jaaaagggggggggggg . It looks far more imposing than the 3.0 SE auto X-type Mondeo that Mrs Opti briefly owned a couple of years ago.

The Astra is the perfect girlie choice.

I agree,X type pretty handy on the road though with the 4 wheel drive

are you a married man now? my condolences,every man sooner or later has to stop enjoying life

[Gaffers]

Did somebody say Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag?!!!

I was looking at S-Types when I came across the XJR.  I'll tell you one thing, the XJR engine bay is so easy to work in, it's huge!  Plus Jag stealers parts aren't that expensive, my rocker cover gasket cost £32 with the vodka and tonic and it only took 30 mins to change

But the Supercharged V8 version isn't quite so wallet friendly

Fair point, the lpg conversion starts this weekend!

Not married... just committed

Will be interesting to see how well LPG works on one given the presurised manifold?

This was my thoughts too but plenty have been converted, it seems without incident.  I guess the key will be to keep the lpg nozzles close to the petrol injectors as per the typical omega setup.

Its the evaporator pressure that is going to need to be much higher, what's the Max pressure for the evaporators

[Gaffers]

I cant remember, but it will go up to 320hp.  The XJR is 321hp so even if I set it to switch to petrol over 3.5-4k rpm I should be ok.  Most driving is dont in the 2-3k rpm range

[Lazydocker]

You'll almost certainly need a restriction in the petrol return line to the tank too But then you already know that

I thought that was required on the later engines, not on the AJ16s

Thats more flow related than max pressure.

The LPG feeds will probably need to be 1.5-2bar pressure fed as the inlet manifold is likely to see +1 bar at times and hence the question regarding the max evaporator pressure

Might be ok You'll soon know and it's not a major issue if you later have to put it in
