LPG Discussion Forum

Having read this I'm left wondering why I didn't know anything about it before now. Was there any sort of consultation before it was introduced. It seems grossly unfair to suddenly land people with more bills at the drop of hat, in particular as it's retrospective. My car isn't on the database and ...

If it's a sort of whitish grey smoke it could be hydraulic fluid leaking from the brake servo (if you have one). The engine vacuum sucks in from worn servo seals and burns this colour in the engine. Check brake fluid level?

Gilbertd is right when talking about the 205E engine, syth oil and regular changes are necessary. The PCV modification may, or may not have been done. Mine wasn't 2 years ago and the engine was showing signs of being gummed up. Did the mod and cleaned it up and all's been well since. Look up the mod ...

Here's a good site to find more information: http://www.darwinawards.com/

Best of luck.

These two any good?

I'd agree, change it. I recently changed my SAAB thermostat because the gauge was taking an age to get to normal and sometimes dropping again, above cold but still not in the middle. I had thought it was just the way the gauge registered, but it wasn't. Now the gauge climbs quickly and sits steadily ...

Have you tried Andrew Sanders at Station Autos opposite the station in Hereford? He deals with Landi stuff but is very versatile. Ask him, he might have a look.

Just thought I'd raise a topic that applies to all fuels but surprised me on lpg.

My SAAB 93 had a temp gauge that seemed to have a mind of it's own, frequently going to the cold section and then going up again. During this winter it got worse and sometimes gave up altogether. Eventually the engine ...

I filled at an unfamiliar station whilst on holiday and my red light stayed on for the entire week of the holiday. Came back home, filled at the usual place and all my green lights were back on. I wouldn't worry about it, try another station. I think it's something to do with the fill pressure ...

Yes, I've done this and it did not seem to have a bad affect on my avensis. Can't recommend it though, you pays your money and takes your choice. My reasoning was, it's wet, it's oil, it can only help. The jury's not completely decided on flashlube so I thought, what the hell?

One point I did ...

I am sorry for you being in an argument with Renault in this country. I've had my run ins with them over the more minor issue of blowing coil packs. They blamed the lpg, the lpg installer blamed the renault parts. It's a rock and a hard place really. Since my debacle I did some research and found ...

are a number of variable for when the system changes over to gas:
1. What temperature it's set to do so.
2. What the temperature of the car coolant is.
3. How effective the plumbing is and whether the maximum hot flow is directed straight to the vaporiser.
4. Where the vaporiser has been sited. This ...

I've got a landi system and yes the injectors are noisy. Loud clacking when the bonnet is lifted, more subdued when down but still there. Don't notice them when in the car. It could be exaggerated by positioning, top of engine, not mounted to the inlet manifold directly. I wouldn't worry if it's ...

I've got an account because they are very easy to use and mostly open 24 hours. You get a programmed key, choose a PIN, mapbook (lots of mainly midlands locations) and you're away ...

Many people on here would say yes. But this is usually because it used to be the case with less efficient and high powered ignition systems. Mind you, 1.3 sounds a lot.

All I can say is that I replace my plugs every 6k, ordinary copper NGKs, cheap and cheerful. I tried closing them down a tadge but ...

By rumbling, do you mean misfiring? A slower tickover while rumbling would probably show it. If so then it might well be a coil pack. Not sure if you have four (one for each cylinder) or one, covering all cylinders. Does it put the engine management light on the dash on? This indicates a fueling ...

Locks Garage on the Abergavenny road out of Hereford (5 miles) is currently the cheapest at 49.9ppl. The Texaco (Somerfield) in Hereford, opposite Halfords is 52.9ppl at the mo.

Look for Callowgas in Stourport, they might be open and are reported to be under 45ppl. Not been that way myself recently ...

I ran an ordinary scenic 1.6 ltr on a BRC system and never got more than 27 mpg from it. I was disappointed about this because the readout from the comp when running on petrol used to say 35-7 on average. I did a brim test and found that the comp lied, it was nearer 32 mpg. I think they all lie so ...

As Gilbertd said, nice barge. Mine's a 93 lpt 2.0ltr. I love it and get at least 22mpg, sometimes up to 24. But mine's a sequential injection. Pulls like a train. If it's economy you're after, then something smaller would suit? But nowhere near as much fun or as comfortable. Perhaps you should run ...

If it's misfiring on petrol and gas and, given you've covered the things I would have done, I'm wondering if it's a mechanical thing like the valves. Have you had them check/compression test and so on. It can't an injector as it's doing it on both fuels, so I'm also wondering about the cps going ...
