• Morrisons supermarkets and fuel price increases. 13 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  and caused all the other providers in my area to have three price increases on all types of fuel in the last month. Morrison's always seem to be the one that has pump price increases first. The largest increase has been on LPG. It has gone from 44.9 to an average of 53.9 in a matter of weeks - all because
• Can you recommend a suitable car? 30 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  regarding fuel type, but shy away from LPG due to its scarcity in this part of Kent. A 'car' would be preferred as opposed to a 'van' or 'minibus' style vehicle. Before somebody recommends a Discovery or Shogun, Range Rover, Land Cruiser, etc...they all fail on headroom. Bizarrely, a friend of ours has

• Omega queries 5 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  car's mpg about right or heavy? Also because of the consumption I'm thinking of converting to LPG. I've done the maths and anticipate a payback period of about 14months which is fine as I love the car and intend to keep it for much longer than that. Does anybody have any advice to assist? I've done

  Hi all, So last week my engine started a knocking sound whilst I was on a reasonably long drive. It drove OK and I wasn't getting any engine lights on dashboard. Still being in warranty, I took it to Macklin Motors Hyundai but they will not fix as it has an LPG conversion and the first
• Landrover Discovery - Best 4WD for new job! 28 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  . I'm not a fan of 'lifestyle' cars so don't want the X5. I guess I need a really good workhorse like the Landrover Discovery. May need to carry some equipment as I will also be doing County Shows/Fairs. Also want to know if a LPG converted Disco is worth looking at? And where would I find one
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace (1998 - 2010) - Quite fancy one - any tips ? 3 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  ? Or doesn't it make any difference? I see there was a 1.4 petrol and I can only imagine it was dire - anyone had one? Was the LPG conversion any good. I'm not going to do a mega-mileage so could stand it being petrol but generally prefer diesels. I don't care how slow it is really. Have driven the HDI (which
• Mondeo mk3 estate or Landcruiser Colorado? 13 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  for almost 5 years/50k, then sold it to a work colleague about 12 months ago - so know it's history well. In the time it's been away, it has had a LPG conversion by a reputable convertor and done 20k with no issues. The total mileage is now 126k. The car is in good overall condition but will require a major
• A few days in China, cars, pollution, perspective 26 Mar 2008 (Forum)

• Toyota Avensis, Honda Accord - Auto Avensis, Accord or something else for <£3k 12 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  about resale value. So far, I am thinking of buying a large engined petrol and then converting it to LPG after a few months. That will help me spread the initial cost and also see if I like the car before spending dough on the conversion.  Options: 04-06 Avensis Auto (1.8, 2.0 or 2.4

  but more importantly - money. My car is a Vauxhall 2003 Astra estate 1.6 (Z16XE engine) bi fuel (LPG/Petrol). I went with the Vauxcheck, Enginecheck and ELM327 USB interface and it pulled up 4 codes all relating to the EGR valve having (once more) failed. It also gave me a 'pending' fault of the coil
• congestion charge discount 20 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  -fuel/hybrid seem to be the only categories. Does anyone have any idea what is exempt or partially exempt, and whether any such vehicles are obtainable for reasonable money? What about those Vauxhall factory LPG conversions? I've read quite a bit of carping about them on this site. My instinct

• Powershift List Eligibilty 20 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  it has to be on the Energy Saving Trust Powershift List. This list includes cars such as certain LPG conversions, all-electric cars and all Honda, Toyota and Lexus hybrids. This got me thinking. Why are Lexus hybrids on the list? They are both large cars that emit more CO2 than many smaller cars
• 4 x 4 advice 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  and I would prefer it to be diesel/LPG. The budget is 7-8 thousand, also I would expect to run it for about 5 years at 12 thousand miles per year. We have kids and all the in-car-junk and abuse that this involves so it wouldn't have to be perfect, the most important question is over the maintenace
