  • Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Envoy auto (2000/W) 5 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    be interested in any additional feedback - especially with regard to: what to look out for, potential problems etc. Also when we enquired about insurance it came up, apparently, as LPG enabled but the details on the net don't meniton this. Speaking as a layman when it comes to cars, any advice/feedback
  • SuperChips - Have you used or heard of? 28 Apr 2005 (Forum)
    Has anyone used or heard of the company called SuperChips? Basically what they do is re-program your ECU to improve performance etc. NB: I have a dual fuel Vectra which simply doesn't run quite as smoothly when running on LPG compared to petrol (new plugs and leads helped a bit but didn't

    that they rated the E-type (£3519) highly besides the overpriced Lamborghini (£9505). Torque from the Jaguar V12 was such it would pull from 10-145mph in top gear. BMW 2002Tii's were winning the production car classes which included Z28 Camaros and Citroen SM's. There was talk about the excise duty rate on LPG
  • 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

    Would appreciate some opinions on the expected sale value of a minor company asset, that's hardly been used over the past 12 months ; 1996 Nissan Patrol LWB GX 4.2 Petrol Auto ( 6 cyl ) , fitted with a working LPG conversion. The number plate is - apparently - worth a grand

  • Morrisons - fuel prices increased today 7 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    My local (well, I don't shop there!) Morrisons has done it again - increased all of their prices on all fuel types at the pump. This means everyone else will now follow and increase theirs. BP. Shell etc are currently cheaper to fill up at - well, they won't be this time tomorrow will they? LPG

  • 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
  • V70 or Mondeo tdci 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    that petrol plus diesel servicing is a lot shorter than the petrol . I was thinking in the not to distant future to maybe do a lpg conversion on the Volvo . Guys what would you all do .

  • Toyota Carina E 2.0i problem 3 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    I have a toyota carina 2.0, 1992 and J registration. It has 30,000 miles on the clock. I was driving from London to Brighton on gas (lpg) and it behaved well all the way home. However, whilst accelerating hard (3000 rpm) up the last stretch of hill after the end of the A23, I depressed
  • 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

  • escort 1.4. Tickover too high? 2 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    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
  • Dacia Sandero - What's the best choice? 13 Apr 2024 (Forum)
    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
