440 engines
Just wandering if the 440 engines ( 1.8 ) have the same robustness as the 480? I’m looking at a 440 which is on 140,000 miles just wandering if the engine would still be good.
Cheers

My uncle is an LPG specialist here is his business website http://www.warrington-autogas.co.uk/
He has said he will give the LPG system a service for nowt. The car needs a spare tyre and an exhaust to pass an MOT both of which can be taken from my current 440

1.8 engine is very slow though...Only 90BHP! Oh and for the MOT just take the spare tyre out. If it doesnt have one they don't test it. It's only when there is one fitted that it comes into the test!
