AIUI, it's all to do with whether the lamda will come out or not - mine involved tapping and dieing I think, from what he says. The good news is that I started it from cold this morning and it shot up the road like any normal vehicle :D I am poorer but happier!!

Mine came with Michelin Synchrone which are a road based tyre with a few small nods towards off road use - Michelin say occasional off road. I have to say that their wet and dry grip is superb and, with ACE, this truck corners like a car!! If I got into off roading they would have to go though ..

Solved :D The technician at my local LR indie first checked the emissions - sky high! He then looked at the plugs - in a poor state, especially on bank 2. They were new a few thousand miles ago. So, on with Testbook which showed a lamda sensor out. Looking at the bad plugs and playing with a...

Thanks for both replies above - most helpful. I am going to visit my local LR indie this afternoon to see what sort of outfit they are. If they seem OK, and have testbook, I will book it in for a code reading and take it from there.

Thanks for the mpg figures Ben. My motorway work has been at 70mph so perhaps it is giving about the right 'economy'! I had expected about 15mpg on gas but mileage will only be about 3-4000 a year so no biggie .. I would love it to only be a coil pack! Like you say though, it is the petrol side...

I have a 130,000 mile D2 auto with multipoint LPG. symptoms are: 1) When starting from stone cold (on petrol) it starts and idles perfectly. 2) If you then try to drive it pops, bangs and nearly dies. Just possible to drive. Smooths out above 2000rpm. 3) When it switches to gas (<1...

^^ Helpful info Frizzy - thanks. I am waiting for the temperatures to rise a little! In the meantime I am keeping all my old envelopes so I can separate out the screws etc. that I will be removing!

Thanks for the replies. I have fair soaked the door check strap and the hinges themselves have copious copper grease already. Still sounds the same though. It is a horrible graunch of a noise. Passenger door and boot do it but much quieter and I am suspecting it is simply a case of TADTS.

OK, I used the car till it ran out of LPG (handily less than a mile from Sainsbury's :D) and then filled up. I continued to hold the button as the nasty noise started at 38L and it carried on filling at the same speed till 64.7L when the pump cut off. LPG capacity of the tanks is 64L so I am...

^^ That sounds very good. Did you remove the old soundproofing from the carpets? Did you attach the new stuff to carpet/body or simply lay in place?

I have searched so forgive me if this is a known issue. When I open the driver's door there is a horrible creak sound (think haunted house) when most of the way open - just as it is passing the resistance that keeps it open in a breeze. All the hinges etc. seem well greased - tons of...

Just found out my 'new' car leaks as well! Thought dry carpets meant no leaks - pity it is all in the soundproofing! When the weather improves a little and I have a garage and driveway back (I live in in a building site and park on the road for now ..) I will remove the headlining, carpets, seal...

Thanks for the advice. I have just telephoned my local LPG installer/servicing garage. They were extremely helpful and I already think that is where it will receive it's next service! From the paperwork I have it seems it has 2 X 40L tanks as a water capacity so as alexdon says, not an 80L...

Will try to get some up soonest :D

I am the proud new owner of a 1999 V8 Disco ES on LPG. It has two 40l tanks where the fuel tank used to be plus an additional square low capacity (25-30l) petrol tank. Unfortunately it ran out of LPG on the way home after 170 miles and then only took 38.5l on the re-fill. I am pleased with...

Well, I picked it up last night and am very pleased! It seems to have been really well looked after and everything apart from the rear sunroof and driver's seat heating works really well. HK stereo so good that I have abandoned thoughts of changing it - will just get a Sony/Belkin cassette...

Hello all, Tomorrow I pick up my 'new' Disco :D It's a 1999 V8 ES Auto in Kinversand with beige leather, 7 seats and (thanks goodness ;)) an LPG kit. I have bought it unseen from somebody I know who has been very honest about the condition. I am gambling that this is better than buying...
