Amazing mileage.
I had a 2 litre with about 63 miles on it but that was one of the launch cars back in 1995 
My 2.5 has just reached 124k.

Dan, unsure how long it will continue. However, i drop the oil and change filter every 6k. So far so good. Always use WOT on start-up as well.

Wide Open Throttle. Make sure WOT relay is in place before doing this. iirc Relay 24. Basically floor the throttle on start up till oil pressure light goes out. On 24v it shouldn't fire up. Then start as per usual.

No probs. Helps the oil get to the heads before a cold start.

Gost. I bought a 2.3 estate that already had been converted, it had failed an mot on welding. My friend fits LPG kits for a living for a living and did the swap for me for £200.
I sold parts of the car and weighed the rest in, in the end the conversion cost me nothing as the LPG one only cost £250.
