We decided today that considering even td5's only get 20mpg when working hard, and I want to get into the LEZ, that a V8 conversion could be the way to go...does anyone have any idea of the mpg V8s get under working conditions, and I mean the real figures not the rose tinted ones from People trying to justify it to themselves.

 

My 1989 ex mod one does about 19 poodling on petrol and 13MPG on LPG, the economy doesn't change much with the lpg whether you do 70 (if you dare) or just potter. I didn't do a lot of towing but that did drag it down.

 

Haven't used it other than drive to the MOT station and back for 4 years, since becoming sedentary.

 

I think it would be considered underpowered ( about 120BHP with the choke restrictors taken out) compared with a modern diesel, though I did commute round the M25 45 miles a day for three months at Hatfield park, 45 miles and almost dead on an hour.

Sniff,

One simply engages the factory fitted dff locks and drives or reverses out, assuming one is still running the proper factory spec tyres.

If one drives a Steyr Daimler Puch Van that is:001_tt2:

Which SDP van is now conservatively worth twice what I paid for her about 8 year ago:thumbup:

Tis a pity about the constant 24mpg mind:lol:

If I said that an otherwise identical spec vehicle but car type instead and a year older with more miles was on the market for £35,000.00, with viewers coming from South Africa to view:001_smile:

Van 1998, car type 1997, seriousley!
