Yes, it will.. I already enjoy taking the 24v out as and when I can..

(Though looking at LPG kits on ebay for the 24v, can get an Injection LPG Kit for about 200 quid!)

Veg oil at 65p/l makes it even better as a daily runner :)

With the lpg are you looking at single or multipoint as I think with the prv you could get away with single point it would be better with multi point and worth getting another inlet manifold on so it can be restored to perfect originality :)

Not sure how little you think of me will .. sorry .. you might not of followed me for long.

firstly the prv 24 has twin plenium intakes so firstly a single point is a write off as you would have to mount it right up the top of the inlet.. how do I know this....... yes precisely. .

so yes it has to be a multi point kit... and to answer that yes I DO have a spare inlet manifd of my own..

ive seen a bmw x5 4.4 6 cylinder kit for 225 quid.. just need to find the 200 quid.

as for single point on the prv.. unless its a 12v with single plenium in which that does work as my green v6 12v has one fitted the prv is prone to spit back.

I forgot it was a 24v and not 12v and thought you would have at least 1 spare set of intake manifolds, if not 50 :D in your sheds lol

Even the multipoints can spit back when your setting them up :( fun with some cars that have plastic inlet manifolds!

Where are you mounting the tank? I always thought that if the spare wheel carrier was removed then a few some cylinder units could fit in the area with a double skinned shield against the exhaust boxes would give best overall capacity and leave the boot free :)

Update:

Well, simply NOTHING. The car has sat, done nothing at all!

To do new list:

Weld Hole in Off side front outer Cill.
Fit plastic clip to the window in the seal guide to stop it tilting forward.
Remove Fuel Pump and work on the dead and seized in place glow plug so we can have perfect no smoke starting.
Sort glove box out, new release catch and get the gas strut sorted out so that is in perfect order!
