Hi there Neil

Appreciate this is an old thread & not sure if you still have the Xtrail but Im lloking to get my 2.5ltr Xtrail converted and wandered if you had any feedback on your experience?
Did you have any issues? Keep hearing about the Valve problems...

Hi, sorry for the delayed ...

By closing the gaps you will put less of a strain on coil packs as the voltage doesn't need to be as high to get the spark to jump the gap.

Hi Gilbert, thanks for that. Is there a magic figure to reduce the gap by? or is it trial and error?. The standard gap is 1.0 - 1.1mm, or in my language 39 ...

I use my X-trail for business use, it is my own private car which I chose as more suitable for me and my needs than the standard issue company car, an Astra.

I get paid a car allowance each month instead of getting a company car. Out of the allowance I have to fund, tax, insure, MOT service and ...

I've read lots of stuff on here about plug gaps, and reducing them seems to be the way to go, so, before I get me sockets out I'd just like to ask a simple question.......my plugs are standard gap, will I see any benefit in closing them up a bit? I'm thinking about long term benefits, i.e. reducing ...

Directline have quoted me renewal of current insurance at £806 inc monthly d/d premium & legal cover & protected ncd & guaranteed courtesy car. After much hunting around I have got the same from Aviva for £488. I am very impressed with that, saving me over £300.

Yes, I think the LPG filling station pumps are closely regulated, so I doubt there'd be much difference on how much you get from one to another, where you will get a difference, as has already been said, is where one filling station has less in their tanks than another then the pressure it is ...

I would suggest that if you fill up again before it's fixed, either, stop filling at 80 litres, or, if its at the manned station and they are likely to fill it up to the max, then make sure you fill up at the start of a good journey, i.e. 30 miles or so, that way you'll be reducing the fuel in the ...

Spotted a new LPG station in Birmingham, Midland Autogas, Walsall Road, Perry Barr B42 1TY. Filled up there today 52ppl, cash only at the moment. Lots of room to manouvre. Nice friendly folk.

A good one to have on your radar if you're around North Birmingham, only 1p more than Birmingham Autogas at ...

Just of M6 at Spaghetti Junction is Birmingham Autogas at Nechells, 51ppl and just outside Bristol at Cribbs Causeway is Asda, Morrisons and Shell all 57ppl all are on the lpg map and I've used them in the last week to and from North Devon

Filled up at Birmingham Autogas today, 51ppl at their Tyseley branch.

Just put 3-4 stations on the map of the ones I use that weren't already on. Just wanted to say congrats to the OP, nice and easy to use the site to get them on.

I'll find it very useful when I go on holiday or day trips out of my area, as long as folk keep putting the stations on so there are some ...

When mine was first fitted it was set up similar to yours, but I noticed it wasn't using any either, so I just re-set it and it's been fine since, so maybe they need a bit of time to settle in?

I Filled up today at Potters Poultry on the A5 Near Lutterworth ( Leicestershire ) at 57 ppl, postcode CV23 0SQ. Tel: 01455 553234. Self service open 24 hours/day. Debit/credit card only, pay at pump.

Not strictly Northants I know, but not far away and near the border with Leics, so be a good one ...

57ppl today at Potters Poultry on A5 Nr Lutterworth at CV23 0SQ. Cheapest in Leics at the mo

I'm off on me Jollies in July, camping in North Devon at Bucks Cross ( between Bideford and Clovelly ). On the LPG maps they show Robinsons garage in Northway which is just up the road, which would be very handy.

Does anyone know if it's still in business and selling LPG? Or, any other outlets in ...

See my thread below about my conversion by Birmingham Autogas. I filled up at their Nechells branch today and their gas it now down to 53ppl, roughly 10ppl cheaper than at home in Leicester!

Birmingham Autogas at Tyseley B25 8HH was 53 ppl when I filled up there yesterday

Hi David

All is going well so far, am having the car serviced ( normal not LPG ) this weekend. Since conversion 4 months ago I have done 7000 miles. I have done trips to the seaside, up and down the motorways with work and lots of short trips too and it's not missed a beat even in the coldest of ...

Orlon Way, B35 7BT. How much is it at the mo?
