Yes you're all right. It was a dodgy gauge!! Sorry! I'm glad though because that's definitly the cheapest fix even though a bit embarrassing!

Ok guys. I left it a few days and the problem hasn't resolved itself.

Please please please can you watch the video ive uploaded. I've just started the car in cold weather, the lpg tank often registers as empty (red light) when cold. But ten seconds in my first Green light comes on to tell me I've ...

I was wondering, is there anyone else who has an LPG tech system as I just bought a car with it and i'm finding there's very little in terms of online information about LPG tech systems, i know they're far from being the most popular and are considered one of the cheapest. But i'm making do with ...

I've only had the car a few weeks so I'm not sure if it has flashlube or even what flashlube is ! I heard Flashlube is mainly used on fords and mine is a vauxhall corsa so don't think so. I wonder whether it is just an empty lpg tank, because that would mean the fuel gauge is dodgy because when the ...

My mate just tried (unsuccessfully) to jump start his car using my car and after failing I go to give him a lift and 2 minutes in of driving my car the lpg button in my car makes a noise and turns itself off, it's never done this before. so I'm running on petrol, I press the button to turn it back ...

I'm going to record the sound and put it online so one of you can have a listen...ill put the mic in the boot

also, i've noticed i can smell gas just when the lpg comes on and if i have my warm fan on in the car- that's a bit more worrying no?

I geuss i really want to know, are any of those problems serious, i.e. if i just put up with the noise will everything be ok, or should i get it sorted as it could deteriorate??

are there any 'experts' in the east london area who could help diagnose the problem??

by the way, it's definitely coming ...

So its normal? ?? That's great news, what a relief

I bought the car but I feel stupid now because during the test drive he had the radio on, I never thought about it really, but since buying it and driving off Im hearing these weird noises from the lpg tank in the boot, every time I press the accelerator it makes a little noise almost like a bird ...

Well old corsas arent exactly massively in demand and I think lpg sometimes puts people off..

So when I go to see the car tomorrow, what should I check for in terms of lpg? He's saying the lpgtech doesn't need a service for 5k

I think it's valued at about 1500. I'm paying 1300.

You have got me worried about the sensors but of they're installing lpg maybe it's normal to replace sensors?

I think they were replaced with the lpg system to avoid any problems....

Is that not normal? I'm meant to be buying the car tomorrow so need to know ASAP

THIS IS THE TEXT FROM THE AD FOR THE CAR- TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK- I've got them down to £1300 for the car.

So mixed opinions, anyone else have any thoughts on LPG TECH?

Are the parts cheaper to replace if anything goes wrong?

Also, i live in east london so does anyone know if there are any LPG TECH mechanics around here?

oh and apparently it was installed by a company called Autogas ( they live in ...

Im thinking about buying a 2005 corsa 1.0 which has lpgtech installed. I know what you're thinking, how tight is he with lpg on a 1.0 engine haha!

But does it matter that its lpgtech ? He says it's better because if I have to buy any new parts it'll be cheaper.

Has anyone else got lpgtech?

Hi all,

Im thinking about buying either a focus 1.6 or 1.4/1.8 astra with factory fitted lpg system. Does anyone have any experience of using the factory fitted systems? Are they better than the modification kits people buy?

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

unfortunately they're on holiday so no photos or idea of what LPG system they have....

but she did say it has had 7 owners??? that's rather a lot for 88,000 miles no?

yeh the seller really doesn't seem to know what kit is installed....

is there any way i can find out with the license plate number?

I 'm thinking about buying a ford focus with LPG, the lady selling it doesn't seem to know what kit it has, she says 'Stako',
