    P38 Electric problem.

    Unplug the ariel from the rf reciever, I have a 51 plate with the latest reciver and still had problems, just means you have to hold your remote close to the rear drivers side window for it to be picked up. but as mentioned above it sounds as if it had lost synch. get a synchmate as recomended...

Also averaged 3.29 miles per litre of LPG which i make just shy of 15mpg as she was loaded with 4 adults...

    P38 air con rad

    I had mine done last summer by my local mobile aircon fitter he sorced one and fitted it for less than the price i could find one for. They know where to sorce them cheaply might be worth a try.

    Whats all this mean

    First thing i would do is clear all the faults then read them again just resetting could clear the problem.

    2001 Vogue

    i have a 2001 with latest reciever but still get this. IMHO upgrading the reciever makes feck all difference. Put your location in your profile captvx and someone near yu may have a synchmate to come and get you up and running

    If you over filled the radiator.......

    I did the same and the excess exits somewhere at the back of the wheel arch. Funnily tho mine will alwaays end up about an inch and a bit below the max mark on the tank however careful i am. Fed up now with people saying "you need to top up your coolant"

    LPG setup

    Just came across this site. Home I know there is a divergence of opinion on here about DIY Lpg conversions but if you ignore those parts of the site there is some useful stuff explaning the way LPG systems work and even articles about servicing and tune ups.

    low revs then stall

    Thats a distinct possibility Rob i will check it out when i get time. the fact that it comes and goes would suggest it could be a hose split which only opens up sometimes.

    low revs then stall

    Query: P38 4.6 rocker cover breather pipes
