LPG Discussion Forum

I had my RR done few years back. I was not getting a problem free drive as the sytem started to play up after a while. They then start to point at other possible problems etc. excuses. Eventually the installer left the company. And I sold my car.

Ill have to check on the gems or lucas part dude.

bump anyone?

A diagram perhaps? I cant seem to find the tech guide????

Thanks but where can I get hold of a text book??/

MY coolant has recently been flushed and replaced new.

Okay, we'll get there :) So there is no coolant loss at the moment, but it has recently been flushed.

I would suspect an airlock in your vaporiser *if* it is mounted relatively high up in the engine bay. That would give the "drops back from ...

MY coolant has recently been flushed and replaced new. When I got the lpg done there was no sign of water loss but this just happened few months ago.
Petrol seems to be poor aswell. I will put £20 worth in but by just starting on petrol it still will not last more than a week!!!

My car does have a ...

Hi peeps one problem after another!! my car was backfiring recently so I adjusted the gaps on sparks and I got my local garage to change the HT to magnecor! Backfire issue seems to be ok now but the car runs shite on petrol! It is lot smoother on gas then petrol. This is very confusing. I know I ...

But even on petrol that does not seem right for sure?

Hi guys, just one last thing would it be wise to get the car recalibirated after the change of the ht leads as I am still getting poor mpg!! at the moment my trip computer shows avrg 9.5mpg!!! :shock: Also I am getting a nasty smell sometimes from the engine bay when it changes over to gas.

So whats the cure for that dude?

Thanks rossko, I will leave it with the pros then. :(
I hope its not a headgaskit job! Im not losing alot of water just bit. But it does a say in my lpg manual to check coolant weekly. I guess where the engine is running alot hotter it uses more water :?:

How do I determine when to change the ...

Thanks guys, I think I will give the leads a go and see what happens, So you are saying that there is no need for the platnium sparks then? I think they are ngk prfn-11 or something. How hard is it to change the ht leads? Can I do it myself, I am quite good with the odd spanner?
Also my coolant ...

Thanks Andy and welcome to the forum dude. I was recomended the ngk's by ngk itself. Also I dont think my car has distributor as its a later model. I think it has a coil?

But I am getting very low mpg on gas I know that you get slightly less mpg on gas than petrol, but come on 120 with a full tank ...
