Last time I drove a Nissan Terrano it was like driving a computer game too, it felt so disconnected. I'm not sure if all SUVs are like that, but I didn't really enjoy it, was like trying to drive a tank through rows of parked cars

The Primera mk1 and 2 were great cars, but the mk3 seemed to be the modern day ARNA, Renault quality with Nissan comfort.

And they replaced it with that horrible Qashcow effort.

thanks,
icarnt have the Mitsubishi,
it wont fit in my Garage, it wouid if ilet the Tyres down,
it wouid catch on the Machine thingy that opens the door, and idont fancy ripping that off!
ah well no room for the Big thing so, thats me out,
iwill stick with the 406s for a bit longer, got the breaker car coming shortly so atleast the 406 will have a few spare parts, not like the Mitsas ibet they cost a fortune for parts

i do believe they are expensive for parts but so is toyota or nissan parts.
i seen a shogun v6 for sale today lpg converted for £3000, at the moment a big thirsty lpg car is better than a big thirsty diesel car because lpg is at least considerably cheaper, and as i see it if oil runs out at least if you have few cattle producing manure, you can get some methane and run it on that.

But surely the thing needs started on petrol?

all lpgs start on petrol and depending on the temperature switch over to lpg. but its negligible my dads car has has 3 fills in the time he has had it.
your accord would be the perfect car to convert

I was thinking that myself, the mpg on it is poor!
However, most of the driving is 1/2 hour commutes, and in the winter it may only be getting up to temperature before switching over.
Also, the conversion is a few grand, more than the Accord is worth and enough to get another decent diesel (even as a 3rd car in the household).

nope dont convert a Honda to lpg ,
trust me its not a good thing,

they Burn spark plugs out like there made of solder,
my mate just got rid of a Type R. he was sick of buying spark plugs for it,
cheap to run tho and fast but my guess is spark plugs wernt cheap for it,

if it can munch through platinum plugs what does it do to the valves

[sirwiggum]

Was thinking of buying new plugs and leads next payday. The leads certainly look a bit worn. Oil change too (0w40 ).
Might squeeze an extra 2 mpg out of it

The lpg fitter installs a special type of spark plug, and you get a years free servicing and warranty.
The accord isnt worth much but if you like it enough it would be good, a lot of lpg cars are old petrols you see on autotrader for dirt cheap money, in theory the lpg is supposed to offset its cost in 2 years, my dad being a bit of a fan of 'sums' worked out that the primera has paid for its conversion, but not the cost of buying a year old nissan and seeing it depreciate faster than a c6.

stick to the correct oil in the hondas mate,
my mate used to just throw anyoil in his old civic think it was a X reg,
in the end it smoked when changing gear, and going up hill,
