I only use my truck for lugging crap to the dump that won't fit in the car or for doing local runs to pick up gas bottles and steel. My 2.5 oil burner only has 70bhp does 20-22mpg and you need to shout to the passenger at full throttle which is 62mph on the flat, up hill is 3rd gear and 35-40mph. A LEZ truck which needs to be 2002 or newer is around £1800-2400 which I just don't have. I'm going with a rover V8 as there dirt cheap and the transit mt75 gearbox is easy to mate to it as they where fited to LDV riot vans. I've been looking at LPG kits on ebay so the whole job could cost £200-300. I'm also not to savy with ECU's and bundles of wires so some thing with carbs and dizzy will do me, yes it's nice to have injection but I'll never make it run with out frying 5-10 ECU's first.
