Can't you just fit the Omega with the fill tap that works with the pump at Bicester 
My LPG Carlton had about 3 adapters ,not that I ever used them , for the LPG filling

The car has the standard UK fitting. The pump has the standard UK fitting.  Just for some reason, she can't get it to work. Nor can the (arrogant and useless) staff there.

I can't help, as I think I'm classed as unwelcome for giving the staff there "open and honest" feedback 2 or 3 years back.

Have you ever tried totting up how many business black lists you must be on anyway yesterday used a bridging wire on the number plate lights of the V70 took it for re-test today and got a pass,so another years legality obtained.

LPG has had its day. Its nowhere near green enough for the current climate, and garages aren't interested in the grief involved in stocking it for a small and decreasing number of customers.

I'm inclined to agree. There's an LPG station 5 miles from my new office. No problem! Except it increased my commute by an hour to go there on the way home.

Hence I'm starting to think about Omega replacements.

Run it on petrol and don't worry about it.

Seriously, if you otherwise like it, it will cost you double* the saving to replace it 

*Buying a £500-1,000 shitter every MoT notwithstanding, and unlikely to be your shopping list

*looks out of the window*

It's warm. It's not raining. Why isn't Kevin driving the rollerskate, instead? 

.. because the distraction of changing jobs meant I overlooked getting it MOT'ed.

All fixed today thanks to Mrs.KW. Apparently it messed her hair up, though.

.. and, naturally, watch the weather deteriorate now.

In honesty, the Omega is starting to need more TLC than I have time to give it, so something newer beckons anyway.

  I did that with the BMW a couple of years ago ..

.. except I'd been using it for a couple of weeks before I realised

Oops! Well, I'm happy to report that the advisory for slight play in the steering rack has now fixed itself.

Or you could buy the XJR and palm off your current soot server... 

, but she finds it a bit too big.

Magic!

The Mini has stopped smoking all by itself, too .. I should probably check it hasn't run out of oil

Spotted a Citroen C6 on road today, not seen one in years. They have aged well, looked nice against all ze German battleships.

The car reckons its 37C here 30 mins ago.

Replaced the entire N/s drive shaft on the Zafira A tractor juice edition ,with the Ebay one (delivered to football club)
correct shaft but for some odd reason it had a reluctor ring on the outer CV 
the ABS works off the speed sensor in the hub
anyway, Mr angle grinder soon had the reluctor ring cut off 
But Mr angle grinder started spitting sparks/smoke from inside, so not long for this world 
I replaced the hub/wheel bearing assembly  with a new one too £27.57 ebay
now drives quiet as a mouse* 

* a mouse being chased by an angry farmer on a noisy tractor obviously 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Topped up the oil on the V70. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Topped up the oil on the V70. 

That reminds me... I should probably put some in the Trolley

Are you supposed to do that? I thought the nice man in the garage did it once every 12 months or 20,000 miles, whichever is soonest.
