After much deciding and a couple of ads locally and on here, I've sold the E30.
"OKK" has gone to somewhere in Aldershot, they're gonna strip it for the engine. To get it back up and presentable would have cost £££ as the arches were shot, etc and I know the fate of older not-so-good E30s is fragging, so someone will be happy with bits of OKK!!

Will still be part of the Zone - great site and good guys at the Guildford meet, so look out for the nxt wheels...... thinking E34/36 TDS hmmmm I do 56 miles/day for work, but winkeye + definitely another E30 at some point.

Out of interest is the new owner on here? Stuart from Aldershot?

That'd cost me £5.60 in LPG a day :D

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

LPG now there's an idea - even diesel's up to 1.08 a litre. What's LPG now 50p?

Depends where you are in the country, between 42ppl and 60ppl. A 325 takes gas nicely :D

Or a posh Omega or Landy hehe. The td is the 115 bhp no intercooler? What roughly mpg on a run about 38-40?

I'm looking at a 96 tds auto with 158k - hope to get above on the miles I do - mostly country/motorway

Cool, sounds good to me. Mine did 25-27mpg on a run cost me £50 a week (but not dawdling about). Is yours manual or auto?

Mine does low to mid twenties on LPG. nigh on 10p/mile. I don't hang about though. Mines manual with a 3.64 diff. It's going to take 10,000miles to break even on the conversion.
