Hi all,

I am looking into getting something offroadish to replace my Celica. I have been very happy with the whole Toyota experience and am seriously considering a 93 Surf which has been converted to LPG.

It's a friend of a friend of a friend thing. Looks decent and going for around £1,200.

I like the idea of LPG (This is the 3.0 V6 - or is it V8). I have not been to check it out yet and was just wondering if this seems a good price? It has about 100,000 on the clock it that makes any difference.

Also - what areas/things should I be looking for when I do go see it.

Also any impressions of reliability and running costs would be appreciated as this will be my first 4X4

Thanks in advance

Everso

I had an LPG car and it was great. Just make sure it's had a proper conversion with multi point injection that runs from the vehicles original ECU. A lot of the older conversions (around the age of the vehicle your looking at) simply had a pipe that fed gas into the air intake via a solenoid. They're pretty crude, unreliable and dangerous. Plenty of backfiring too.......can blow your whole air intake to bits if not carefull.

If it's proper multi point injection it should be fine but worth doing some research.
