Re: Large 4x4 on LPG. Buying Advice.

The petrol RR Sport and Disco 3 (as the RR Sport is only a Disco 3 in a posh frock so it isn't really a Range Rover at all, but a Land Rover) has the spare dangling under the back at a funny angle which I suspect will cause problems with tank mounting and only came with the 4.4 NA or 4.2 ...

Re: Vapour evaporating from side of nozzle when filling

Would seem to be the pump you used at fault then, but Gilbert made a valid point about wear to the rear of the bayonet lugs being a potential cause or contributing factor.

200 Miles on £45 of gas would be great economy in a 40ft RV with a 7L V10 engine, but would be terrible economy from a 1.2 ...

Re: Vapour evaporating from side of nozzle when filling

It didn't do it when I used the pump on the other side a few days before so I think it's more likely to be the filler than the car, especially as this is the first time I've noticed it, if not how much is a new filler?.
I've got the LPG system on my car being serviced this week anyway as it's due ...

Vapour evaporating from side of nozzle when filling

I noticed this when I filled up yesterday, there was some vapour evaporating off the nozzle when I was filling up, is this normal or is there an issue with the nozzle or my car?.

Re: Just put a deposit on an LPG Range Rover

I'd heard the BMW one was better which is why I tried to avoid a later one, I was thinking of going for a TDV8 but my budget would have bought a higher mileage one and they've been know to have issues with turbos going pop.
The TD6 has a weak Gearbox, the 4.4 BMW engine with the ZF box is generally ...

Just put a deposit on an LPG Range Rover

I've just put a deposit on a 4.4 litre V8 Range Rover, I was considering one a while ago but went for a diesel instead in the end, unfortunately it got written off.

It's a 4.4 BMW engine one with a Prins system on it, are these usually pretty trouble free and does the BMW engine take well to LPG as ...

Re: Range Rover 4.4 Vogue(BMW engine) conversion in SE

Thanks Gilbert,
The place I called Was Arun? Autogas in Littlehampton, the phone diverted to them after calling Capital Autogas in New Malden, Surrey, apparantly they have gone out of business.
From what I've read the 4.4 BMW engine makes a good conversion to LPG, and a lot of people say to go with ...

Re: Range Rover 4.4 Vogue(BMW engine) conversion in SE

I think the Discos have the later Jaguar engine which isn't so good with LPG, btw good choice with the Classic 300 Tdi, I used to have one and still regret selling it now, their really rare now.
