Default Bit of an update

PV progress is still stumbling along but I've been distracted by a cheap engine on Marktplaats (Dutch ebay type site) for my long suffering Mercedes W123 which needs to be converted from Diesel to something else that won't cost a fortune in road tax.

(Road tax for my diesel W123 would be about 2200 euros a year - I'm of the mind the tax man gets enough road duties in one form or another so this type of silliness needs to be nipped in the bud)

There's also a little project I'm starting for my Land Rover - messing about with diesel injectors and diesel injector pumps...

...perversely after what I've just said about diesel engines and road tax, at the moment really old diesels are still road tax exempt so I reckon there's still a time to make stuff for my preferred "fuel of the future"...
