What Car 3K Max? 9 Oct 2010 (Forum)
ZT CDti Auto (no DMF & clutch issues to worry about) , but finding one with resonable milage and good condition seems very hard if not impossible), so i turned to a MG ZT 190 with LPG, but insurance is near enough nearly a 1K! (i'm 27, 4 years NCB 3 points TS10) for that car and they tend -

Nissan Micra Idling Badly and Stalling 23 Apr 2007 (Forum)
Hello I have a 998 cc Nissan Micra, year 2000 (W reg). It is converted to LPG so it is bi-fuel. In the last couple of weeks it has started stalling, particularly when starting up and slowing down and we don't know what the problem is. We had the distributor replaced as we initially thought -

Somebody stop me, please 2 Nov 2001 (Forum)
about 5 mpg, but I keep thinking about LPG conversions. Seriously, does anyone know anything about these beasts? I have always wanted one since I was about ten years old - something to do with growing up on military bases I suspect. This vehicle is claimed to be tax exempt (fair enough) but also -

Good evening fellow petrolheads, Have just bought a 51 Escort van with LPG conversion and it goes very well and cheaply. It is a bit slow to return to tickover when on overrun but settles to about 800rpm which seems a bit high. At its recent MOT the mechanic suggested marking the idle speed -

Hi everyone, I'm coming to the end of the PCP for my (71 reg) Dacia Sandero, which is the bi-fuel model. This really helps me keep costs down, as I do around 18k miles a year for my job. Sadly, it's getting much harder to get hold LPG where I live (and the price has doubled in three
