MPG of an LPG Converted landrover 3.9 V8 ?
Calor is the same as LPG, right ? And depending on it's use that only 5% VAT and no duty. Still seems VERY expensive when you buy 47Kg bottles though.

MPG of an LPG Converted landrover 3.9 V8 ?
I reckon that's a bit optimistic, I would have gone for 12mpg and then take 10% off that because LPG is less efficient.

Guidelines for Publishing Information Online
No hidden agenda here, just good advice. Cyber Security Tip ST05-013 Guidelines for Publishing Information Online Remember that the internet is a public resource. Avoid putting anything online that you don't want the public to see or that you may want to retract. Why is it important to remember that the internet is public? Because the internet is so accessible and contains a wealth of information, it has become a popular resource for communicating, for researching topics, and for finding information about people. It may seem less intimidating than actually interacting with other people because there is a sense of anonymity. However, you are not really anonymous when you are online, and it is just as easy for people to find information about you as it is for you to find information about them. Unfortunately, many people have become so familiar and comfortable with the internet that they may adopt practices that make them vulnerable. For example, although people are typically wary of sharing personal information with strangers they meet on the street, they may not hesitate to post that same information online. Once it is online, it can be accessed by a world of strangers, and you have no idea what they might do with that information. What guidelines can you follow when publishing information on the internet? View the internet as a novel, not a diary - Make sure you are comfortable with anyone seeing the information you put online. Expect that people you have never met will find your page; even if you are keeping an online journal or blog, write it with the expectation that it is available for public consumption. Some sites may use passwords or other security restrictions to protect the information, but these methods are not usually used for most web sites. If you want the information to be private or restricted to a small, select group of people, the internet is probably not the best forum. Be careful what you advertise - In the past, it was difficult to find information about people other than their phone numbers or address. Now, an increasing amount of personal information is available online, especially because people are creating personal web pages with information about themselves. When deciding how much information to reveal, realize that you are broadcasting it to the world. Supplying your email address may increase the amount of spam you receive (see Reducing Spam for more information). Providing details about your hobbies, your job, your family and friends, and your past may give attackers enough information to perform a successful social engineering attack (see Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information). Realize that you can't take it back - Once you publish something online, it is available to other people and to search engines. You can change or remove information after something has been published, but it is possible that someone has already seen the original version. Even if you try to remove the page(s) from the internet, someone may have saved a copy of the page or used excerpts in another source. Some search engines "cache" copies of web pages so that they open faster; these cached copies may be available after a web page has been deleted or altered. Some web browsers may also maintain a cache of the web pages a user has visited, so the original version may be stored in a temporary file on the user's computer. Think about these implications before publishing information--once something is out there, you can't guarantee that you can completely remove it. As a general practice, let your common sense guide your decisions about what to post online. Before you publish something on the internet, determine what value it provides and consider the implications of having the information available to the public. Identity theft is an increasing problem, and the more information an attacker can gather about you, the easier it is to pretend to be you. Behave online the way you would behave in your daily life, especially when it involves taking precautions to protect yourself. _________________________________________________________________ Authors: Mindi McDowell, Matt Lytle, Jason Rafail _________________________________________________________________ Produced 2005 by US-CERT, a government organization.

What does the scale read 110 mph or 180 mph ?

They're great...
For some reason I thought their processing fee went to charity.

Turbos may need replacing
Doesn't a thicker head gasket kinda counteract the benefits of raised boost ? ;) Anyway, if the engine is out you may as well get the clutch replaced as the mods you're looking at will finish off a standard clutch pretty quickly. You could always get the flywheel skimmed -if it is sufficiently worn.

When I first saw this headline I assumed ....
.... that Top Gear had been doing something stupid again .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7472490.stm

Why?
It's probably just a Z body on a chassis from something completely different. As an engineering exercise it looks fun, kinda pointless though ....

Got electronic boost controller, need chip
If it fails lean then the car runs rich on one side and you will use more fuel than usual.

Got electronic boost controller, need chip
A faulty O2 sensor may cause some odd problems but wouldn't normally affect top end power. Midrange could be compromised though, depending on how the sensor has failed.

Hi - I'm new and have a problem
There are also some multi-block connectors down behind that fuse box too, when they become loose that can cause rear lights to go out.

Chunders Datascan log
Well sounds like you have some good news then. The Datascan images don't give a great deal away, being static etc., but nothing jumps out as being an obvious problem.

new or 2nd hand
Does the pump still run ? Is the fuel filter clean ? Is the pressure regulator working ?
-
new or 2nd hand
Are you certain the pump has failed and it's not an electrical problem ? As far as I know UK and Jap ones are identical. They seldom fail so a second hand one is a good risk and easy to fit.

You can PM her now, that list is updated about once a week by me and it's purely and administrative task.

Severe juddering when braking – Help !
Leaking bushes need to be fixed, that is an MoT failure. It is probably easiest, but maybe not cheapest, to replace with standard Nissan parts, as they just bolt on. If your brake discs are warped you will be able to feel the pulsing if you brake very gently just as you are coasting to a stop. If it only judders when braking hard then it's probably the bushes that are causing it.

Help with Mirorrs needed
UK mirrors may be heated but don't fold. Jap mirrors will fold and may also be heated. On Jap cars there are a couple of switches for the folding mirrors in the console behind the handbrake, if yours is not there then you may be able to get them from a breaker. I suspect that all the wiring is in the loom, but you may have to get a bit creative in the doors/mirrors themselves, depending on whether it's Series I or II parts as I think the connectors changed. There will be wiring diagrams in the online manual.
