Nice one for a diesel conversion.

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

That's what I felt at the time, I still have another Bosch pump though.

Why not just fix the engine in it? Make a good LPG conversion, much nicer!

I spoke to the vendor, the head has been lifted off the engine. I didn't ask if it was there or not, as I would have no intentions of repairing it. I have a TD lump that would go nicely in there.

Getting a dead car picked up is a problem though.

Edit: I'm not bidding. Its not economically viable for me.
