Not sure could be LWB, anyway going to have a look when it is out of the Garage. Only seen it briefly once before in passing... Hopefully will view soon'ish. Sylvia is a bit sluggish for my liking and even with the LPG conversion is still quite thirsty and costly in pence per mile

My Partner's Dad said he might come so waiting on him to get back to me today hopefully I only have a printed physical copy of those tickets so would email them to you as a photo if he does not want to come and hopefully that will work to allow you in ? Do you have to come far to get there ?

A friend is selling her converted Ford Transit (1996) 2.5L Diesel Manual that she has been living in and I am thinking of buying it and selling Sylvia. I am asking £7000 for Sylvia, which is 1987 Talbot Talisman with LPG Conversion and Solar Installation - Dual Fuel I think I would be better...

Got some tickets (TWO) going spare if anyone wants them ?? Get in touch

Looks like it ended at £7000 and no-one offered what the seller wanted and now it is relisted as https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293263809629 I am not "serious" as don't have Bank Roll for it unless something dramatic changes in very near future.

Dear @wildebus Could you send me the Garage locations / Names as i have no idea. At the minute we are parked up in Wick. Cheers

Yes there is a manual choke Need to use it to start on LPG Have not tried the choke when driving at 30mph in 4th on Petrol. That will be next step. Thanks

Thanks very much Just to clarify when on Petrol and engine is hot then idle is fine. What is not fine is when under power and acceleration in that the engine has far less power than when on LPG like the fuel / air ratio is wrong or not enough fuel is getting to carburetor? Any other ideas...

Full manual, I got the picture above from page 76 of the Russek Petrol Engine Manual PDF For Full Manual it is here https://ra-w.uk/TALBOT TIA

It was screw 3 that the mechanic adjusted and that I also adjusted a quarter turn, I think, maybe I should have adjusted screw 2 ? @SquirrellCook THANKS

Dear All If there are any motor mechanics about I have a question. Sylvia, old Talbot, 2 litre Petrol engine with Carburettor had an LPG conversion beginning of August. Engine runs sweet on LPG. If I swap to petrol though the engine runs poorly, less torque and feeling like the air/fuel mix is...

Maybe have a look ? Would be interested in what you think of it close-up

Ah OK - I sort of like the look and price of the Chinese diesel heaters but would then be three fuels for the Van which seems impractical, LPG / Petrol and Diesel. I would have to fit a diesel tank and a way to fill it whereas with some sort of blown air LPG system everything is in place without...

What do you use for heating now then ?

UPDATE 2 Gas Fire is now WORKING I WILL NOT be using the Fire whilst asleep or away from the Van !!

I agree, I don't think plastic panelling would look anywhere near as good. I would really like to have a Wood Burner for the off-grid-ability of the Van as will be something like a second or main home for me in a couple of years. Also I feel a wood burner would make it more comfortable and...

"Murky" ? Do you have pictures, ones in focus though & not murky ? :p

Looks really good @GEOFF , both the Van and the Boat, you are obviously very accomplished.

Was doing a bit of research on the possibility of future self-builds and seeing what was out there in a semi-finished state and came across this. Looks really nice and done to a high standard, as the listing says it needs a bit more work doing but the majority of things have been completed very...

STILL DIAGNOSING the Gas Fire Issue Very sad face :cry:
