Debating a P38

[Palmers]

Following on from this thread im seriousely debating a P38 as a daily

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Man maths means it will cost an extra 20 quid a month to my fiesta.... based on 15mpg on the P38. Also


Am i mad? Ive got a friend who does all my mechanics work so its not like i will be going to a dealer for the issues they have, that im sure will crop up at some point. I also do a bit myself but nothing major.


Also have an lpg specialist down the road who could do the servicing of the system etc.


Any P38 owners want to chip in? Experiences? Problems?

Ive never heard anything bad about the LPG side. Lots of people from googling are racking up the miles from what i understand as long as its serviced yearly, set up correctly with quality plugs / leads and its a modern multipoint / sequential system then its the dogs danglies.


I am a bit dubious about all these issues though....

Seems to be a growing trend over the internet that anyone will shout the horror stories or the reputation. But speak to an actual owner of a P38 and it doesnt seem that bad....
