I could never manage better than 17mpg and that was on a good day but I do have a big right foot, with boots made of lead. That's why I converted mine to LPG. Best advice would be to drive slowly and use the gearbox manually but then that would just spoil the pleasure of owning a V8, we will...

Thats roughly 15mpg if you paid 45p a litre for the gas.

I needed to replace mine after an accident so I bought a set off ebay for £174 they were easy to fit and came with mud flats and once fitted they looked better than the original ones.

Well I'm not really cooking on gas but my Range Rover is running on Gas (LPG). It has taken me about 4 days in time, which has been spread over a few weeks doing it when I could, when it was not raining. But I have now finished the job apart from a few bits of tidying up and tweaking, the car...

Wow that looks so good I'm off to polish mine.

If Dave121 is still out there I would love to know the out come of his problems as the whole thread made excellent reading, hey and a big shout for RESTORE if the guys had only know about that last year when they had all their problems the thread would not have been as long or interesting. So...

If it is a Kenlow electric fan then they have a thermostatic switch fitted to the heater hose if you turn this to zero it should then run all the time the ignitions on if it does not then perhaps the fuse has blown.

I have done a similar thing to my SWB Frontera that I use for off roading, I have also been toying with the Idea of a cowling and I have even visited a scrap yard hoping to find something that would do but I have had no joy yet. With a bit of modification would the existing cowling not do

Could be anything from a blocked filter to a none working solenoid, you might be better posting this on an LPG forum or taking the car to an LPG fitter. Have you checked the fuses for the LPG system they will be under the bonnet there should be 2. LPG Discussion Forum Jim

The worse car I ever owned was and Alpha it was fantasic when it was running right but it would always spoil the pleasure of the drive by doing something daft with the electrics, Best car I ever owned apart from my RR P38 was a Porsche 944 that was a real pleasure to drive but the wife hated it...

You can only fill the LPG tanks to 80%, so a 95 litres tank will fill to 76 litres, filling with gas at say 45p that will mean a tank full is £34.20. Petrol at 74p a litre, £34.20 will get you about 46 litres my Range Rover can drink that much in petrol in 3 days. Jim

I'm in the middle of converting mine, and I still don't want to sell it.:D

I'm pleased you got it sorted, I agree £117 seems a lot for 5 mins on a PC. Jim
