  • Morrisons - fuel prices increased today 7 Mar 2008 (Forum)

  • 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

    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

  • 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
