I wouldn't - I had the same engine in my old 190e, the best I ever managed was around 26mpg on a steady run, closer to 20 round town and that's a much lighter car...

That's a fine looking vessel, one day I *will* own something along those lines - just as soon as my numbers come up! lol
Course, living slap bang in the middle of the country means a bit of a drive to any open water! lol

Right, I'm in need of some space and some cash, so I'm having a look through what I've got that I don't need and whacking it up on this thread. First up is a perfectly working Rover V8 starter motor - came from a 1989 Range Rover 3.5 - £15 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0178.jpg) Drivers side electric wing mirror, also from the Range Rover - £5 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0179.jpg) 15x7 ET25 Mercedes 420SEL (W126) wheel with a really good 205/65/15 Goodyear Hydragrip tyre (6mm+ tread). £30 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0180.jpg) 15x7 ET25 Mercedes 420SEL (W126) wheel with a foooooked (inside of the sidewall is cracked all the way round) tyre. £15 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0183.jpg) Remains of a Kawasaki GT550 motorbike. Frame/swingarm, engine (burns a bit of oil but I was using it daily), wheels, shaft drive stuff, forks and various other odds and sods. Scrap value of £30 takes it (as that's where it will end up!) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0185.jpg) Girls 14" bike - maybe of use to someone? £15 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0181.jpg) Girls 10" or 12" (I think!) bike - no freewheeling on this, ride it backwards if you have the skill! Non pneumatic tyres too. £10 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0186.jpg) Girls scooter, all works (although the brake cable is disconnected currently). £10 ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/Ebay/IMAG0182.jpg) More stuff will be added as I get through some stuff (and into the other garage...!), so keep checking back!! EDIT: All are plus P+P, and you pay by paypal, you pay the fees! That is all, ta! 2ND EDIT: I'm after various bits and pieces for my W126 SEL Merc and 1975 Chevy Blazer, so try me for swaps! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) 3RD EDIT: I'm in Ilkeston, Derbyshire - near J25/J26 M1

Give it a go, I would. Just take it steady and if it doesn't feel right when you start, stop.

FWIW, I've recently bought one of these - same age, similar mileage and it's *awesome* - 20mpg on short journeys and 26mpg fully loaded (5 people, air-con on from time to time, full boot and 3 kids bikes on a rack on the back!) on a recent journey to France.... Didn't burn a drop of 5w30 or use any coolant either.
Good luck with the sale, these really are great cars!

It sounds like my sisters engine has just gone bang in her year 2000 Rover 25, the easiest option for me is to drop another lump in - anyone got one?
Or failing that, I suspect the big ends have gone as it was making a few suspect noises, so if anyone has a good bottom end/engine with a blown top end, that'd do too?
It's not desperately urgent as she doesn't use it that much (and thankfully it happened on the way back from her holiday!).
Cheers, Martin

Despite my newly acquired Lexus being one of the best cars I've ever owned, having 3 kids sat next to each other on the journey to France was not so great. As I'm planning a similar trip next year I'd like something big, comfy and with 3 rows of seats. I've got a hankering for something like a Chevy G20/Ford E150 (I think)/Dodge Ram dayvan but know sod all about them. I'm not feeling Chevy Astros, I want a full sizer! (I'm also considering a Chevy Suburban 'cos they are badass, but that's similar to my Blazer, so I'm aware of how they go! ;D) I'm only really considering the V8s, as I feel dirty when my entire fleet doesn't have engines in that formation. Unless there's a V10 or V12 that I don't know about, I'd consider one of them ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) I'm not really fussed about economy, I'd assume high teens in terms of MPG on a fairly gentle run? So gen me up - what's to look out for? Any bad rust areas? I assume parts availability is pretty much the same as any yank? (USAutomotive, Real Steel, Ebay, Rockauto et-al)? Any major failings of any particular model? What sort of age did they go from Carb to EFI? Cheers m'dears! ![](http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/images/shows/hayling/ha20050410_013.jpg) ![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IaxTAsY8VXI/TQlKR3ygiXI/AAAAAAAALdE/nmCBUE7e1pc/s1600/1DODGE_DODGE_OTHER_LOT_85827-771235.jpg)

Have got a pair of wheels off a T25 that Guz gave me (might be 14" though), if you can get 'em collected, they are yours!

My Jeep had a sticker in the back window, it said 'show dogs on board'. I don't have a show dog. My Lexus has a sticker denoting which dealer it came from My Merc has a sticker denoting which dealer it came from Not entirely sure what my point is, but I felt left out, so I joined in with my stickers ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

That doesn't look like a genuine LR dizzy cap - change that before anything else. Mine had no end of problems when I didn't have a genuine one...!

Well, a bit more glue, a bit of sawing, a couple of security devices and here we have it, the garage is (gaping holes for windows aside) secure! ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/bladerunner_30/IMAG0130.jpg) For the first time in the build process, when walking in through the side door (with lock and handle!) whilst the front doors are closed, it feels like I've been 'in' the garage, rather than in a part-finished building! Happy days!
