The issue with the tune up is its irratic behaviour. ie. some days it revs past 4000 revs others it doesn't. That to me isn't an LPG problem. He boasts its reliability yet freely admits the car sometimes struggles. Also note it seems as though he has taken stabs in the dark to fix it, new plugs, leads, and dizzy cap, now both the LPG and Petrol system need fixing.

It will be interesting to see how the auction goes.

hey it still starts everyday and gets me to and from work fine, i havent used the LPG, i been running it on petrol as when i brought it was told the LPG needed a kit thru it.

cant imagine it be a huge task to sort out the tuning issue, i just havent had the time to get it looked at cause been working 6 day weeks and im no carb mechanic and couldnt afford to have the car off the road... so as for reliability, yes its reliable, has never let me down, she just not running to her full potential... like i said in the ad she needs a little TLC and trying to be open an honest

I may be interested but my problem is I'm 3 hours away. I will see what I can manage over the weekend. If I can get down and have a look I'll send you a txt message.

Sorry about the "grilling", I do come across harsh sometimes.

Hey mate, I forgot to ask about rust. Does it have any? if yes where and how extensive? I'm assuming because its been used as a fishing ute there will be some.
