@Boydie I think it must be boredom. If you want to sell a nice 480bhp S3 that does 34mpg to buy a Renaultsport Clio 😬

I can understand a need for change, but I'd think that one through carefully!

Def not boredom, I absolutely love my car but its just at the forefront of my mind about fuel costs. I know where you are coming from though.

LPG conversion? Uses spare wheel and you can have the filler fitted discretely. It used to be about £300 per cylinder. Maxol in dundonald used to sell it too. Not sure if they do now mind you.

With the miles you do I would’ve had a £1500 S60 or something ages ago.
Both my old S60 and current V70 are returning around mid 40s mpg. They also are the most comfortable cars I have owned. One of them would be a good shout @Boydie and for all they cost you could still keep the S3. My V70 is actually around £60 a year cheaper to insure than the S60 was too.

No they dont sell it anymore, @Boydie if u consider it look at mylpg will show you all the stations and their price, should be 69.9p or close.

Don’t know who is gd for conversions but there are a load of companies around Dublin so likely cheaper down there.

Or buy this and wack the mikes on it, exhaust mod and would sound unreal as well.

Been on the look out for a mk2ph2 Clio Dci (2003-05) but they are few and far between - want something small that will not take up so much room on my drive.

The fact it’s green and a v8
It is such a bargain if its in anyway clean, have one the same and love it. Though sticking petrol in it wouldn’t be fun.

It might actually be a previous rms car, one of the Chris’s maybe?

I don’t have enough cash but I’d be tempted to buy this.

spot the Land rover fan boy, but had one with 200k on it and still drove well. Bar the 4wd system (can just make them 2wd if u don't need it) they are probably the most reliable LR and the best one for mpg, and they don't seem to rust too badly either, prices definitely been creeping up this last year (like most tbf), can see a clean low miles 3dr with the removable back being a safe place for a relatively small amount of money.
