    New member of the family

    Welcome to V24SDP. The newest member to The Wodj Family forecourt.
    Thanks to Adam for putting it up For Sale at a time I was in 2 minds of whether to throw some serious money at my Meister PFL that I have owned for 8 years. Or try ventures new! Ventures new it was. My Meister had succumb to dreaded rust, mainly in the rear arches, but has bits everywhere. I guess I got it a little too late in its life, after the dreaded winters and salt got its teeth into it. It hadn't been under sealed prior to me purchasing it.
    But hopefully SDP hasn't been infected and I can keep it for many years to come! It's fairly standard at the moment, with just coilovers, brembos and stainless exhaust. A good starting place for future modifications.
    Heres to the future 👍🙏

    I was considering this one for exactly the same reason, Glenn, that my car which I've had for 8 years is also fairly rusty! However, I'm going to give it a fair shot at repairing it, not sure I'm in a position emotionally to get a different VR4!

    You will need to sort out the LPG system on it.
    Get it up and running v and it was
    I'll save you a fortune in fuel.
    I would get someone to give the system a once over first to make sure it is up to the job then get it tuned on gas and let the fun begin.
    No guilt when you flaw it all day long. And the petrol gauge will never really move which is a nice feeling.

    I come past Peterborough every now and then, and I think it's got an LPGTech system (based on the switch on the dash), I've got the cable & software to connect to it if needed

    What's wrong with the LPG system? Is it knackered?? Was using it on way back until ran out. And seemed to work fine enough?

    Cheers. That would be good mate. Haven't really looked into the LPG yet. Just running on Petrol at the min. But a look at what it's doing would be good

    If all seems ok, then just keep it filled up with gas and enjoy!
    Get the FillLPG app on your phone to show you where all the stations are and the price

    I was under the impression the guy you bought it from did not use the LPG system at all in a the time he had the car.
    So checking it was in tip to condition before you use it in anger would be a good idea.

    Oh has the car got a AFR gauge fitted.
    It would be good to get one on the car even if it was only a temp fit to ensure it is still delivering the LPG you need.
