  • Audi A8 (1994 - 2003) - 97 4.2 S8 Missing 7 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    have never ever heard of this one before, but as I normally run the car on LPG and deliberatly keep the petrol level low (less weight to lug around) it may have some legs. Anyway I topped the car right up on Friday and so far no missing, but it can go for weeks with not missing anyway, but that could

    Hi, Just purchased a 2003 Astra Elegance estate (Petrol/dual fuel LPG). 1598cc 5 speed manual. Can the air conditioning system be the sole cause (as suggested by my GP) of the nausea, headaches, cold/flu like symptoms that my partner and I have started to jointly encounter since using

    we\'ve just bought a \'98 saab 900s bifuel (petrol/lpg saab installed) at what seems like a pretty good price @£2500. It has done about 110,000 miles . The gas was not working when we bought it but the vendors said it was a fairly cheap repair. After conventional service the car was running

  • Tyre Sealant 7 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    placed a sealant in my tyres which could hide potentially dangerous damage to the tyre, without being aware that any damage had been done? Reason for asking: My car is converted to LPG, and then tank is in the spare-wheel well, and yes, you guessed it, I don't carry a spare. So, I was contempting
  • more range rover stuff 26 Sep 2001 (Forum)
    not going to bother with an lpg job, especially on a RR worth about £2500. Lastly, there is a scrap place in Farnworth near Manchester that only deals in landrover bits. I just got a new rad there for £60 with a 6 month guarantee! Not bad eh gentlemen?

    guess LPG may be desirable! 2) I am not in a hurry and am happy with my existing car -well it goes and stops me getting wet going from A to B. For the sake of 6 months, would it be a good idea to buy one cNov-Dec this year as they are an unpopular vehicle what with VED and fuel price rises
  • Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 2003 Dual fuel DOC 1.6. Oil loss from the engine. 17 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    puff of blue smoke has been observed that burns off very quickly. Say for every 300 miles (whilst running on LPG) I am adding a good 1/2 litre of semi synth as top up. I have not run the vehicle for the same distance on petrol though to see if the same happens with oil loss then. I was told

    the upcoming MOT without too many problems. I have been considering a 1.8/2.0 P11-144 Primera or Honda Accord. To be honest, I don't need such a big car and have also been considering the Almera/Focus/Astra. I cover around 17K private miles a year. Perhaps I should also be looking at a diesel or lpg? Getting

  • Economy in tow cars and necessary licenses 23 Aug 2020 (Forum)
    going to be doing (around 30,000 a year), economy starts to become a major concern. Today I've just looked at what suitable petrol cars could be converted to or bought as LPG, and I thought about the Shogun V6. An LPG car doing 19mpg would save me over £1,000 a year compared to a diesel doing
