LPG fuel gauges are nearly always hopeless anyway. I always used the
trip meter along with keeping an eye on the LEDs. The trip was more
accurate most of the time.
The LPG LEDs are as accurate in mine as the trip meter. Neither work.
Neither of the tanks have the flylead from the tanks wired, so I
should be able to add a gauge easily, something a tad more readable
than looking at my knee when driving.
Well done with the rest though, I should have mine in the next few
days. Will have to pay a visit to Rik and get the turbo balance pipe
welded up.

You are going to have so much fun with that car.
This car?

S'quite good fun, needs a bloody good service and the balance pipe sorting,
it's now back on the original alloys, but they're *mint*, the Recaros
unfortunately weren't possible to get (turns out they belonged to the owner,
not the car) but these are the original immaculate SE seats - which are also
near perfect, and there are no picnic tables.

Bit gutted, but the suspension is unreal - it has about the same body roll
as the Golf...

Was originally covered in walnut, Bentley style, but the veneer cracked to a
previous keeper had it retrimmed in leather.

I'm going to get it re-veneered.

Good idea. The leather looks awful. The walunt looks amazing.

Just bought and fitted one! The BT car kit is *ok*; it functions well
and the incoming sound is great but people say I sound a bit faint but
they can understand me ok. The music sound quality is a lot better than
my old head unit; I'll have to go buy some decent speakers now...
