    I am defecting...

    ... to a little oiler.

    A 300tdi D1 should be parked in my driveway tommorow night, pics will come.
    We plan to do some more remote touring in the next few years, plus I want to have a crack at Bio.
    McRover, feel free to slag me after bagging whimpy landrover diesels all this time, Pedro, feel free to weep openly.

    One 97 V8 on LPG will be leaving the family after Easter sometime so PM if you're looking for one folks.

    Mostly propane.

    Would like to hear how you find the running cost of the V8 V Diesel... I am thinking of going to a V8 on gas (auto) from a 300tdi manual

    My maths so far says straight from the bowser I'll be going backwards a little. There's not much in it mind you.
    But therein lies my interest in Bio, plus LPG & Petrol can reach outrageous prices outside of built up areas (yeh so can diesel). Really the range was the issue and as I say we do have the intention to get away a bit more now, been tied down a bit the last few years and the V8 suited us perfectly.

    My '96 on LPG gets around 300 km/70l @ say $0.60/l = $42.00.
    If TDi gets around 10l/100km, that's 30l/300km @ say $1.50/l = $45.00.
    So, as you say, not much in it; but the range...
