Just had this problem. The car lowered it self down to the floor, and then the drivers side lowered even more. (I think the electronics try to keep the car level using the spring, hense both sides lower, until a minmum point, at which the leak lowered that side only). Change the air bag...

I've got an LPG Disco 2. I tried a diesel, but the lpg was better and the fuel made it nearly as cheap to run. If you get one, make sure it has a multipoint injection system on it, that way you hardly notice when its on lpg. If I started again I would consider a chipped one, but my engine...

Get a mutipoint LPG fitted. Then the fuel is half price, so effective consumption is the same as a diesel, but you get to overtake people!

In the Manual for my old Mitsi L200 it said that you should add up to 1/4 of the tank with Petrol! If you get a Tank heater, you may need to think about the Fuel Lines and the Filter. Some Euro box makers already fit Filter and Tank Heaters (peugeot i think). People who run on Bio Fuel...

The multipoint system has been fitted today. I now have a smother car that revs more freely, and it is now difficult to tell the difference between petrol and LPG. I haven't been able to calculate the fuel comsumption but I will keep you posted. Its to early to tell for certain as it is too...

If its any help, I'm here now but not now. Oh no my mistake, I am here.

I had to make that very choice, as I tow a horse box with two heavy horses in it, all up weight of about 3 tons, on top of a loaded Disco. I used to have a 4.6 HSE range rover. It was excellent at towing, you almost didn't notice the trailer but the petrol cost was amazing. I tried a td5...

Thanks eightinavee. I've spoken to several people now and they all say to get it done. The Car is booked in for a week wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.

It will almost definately be the alarm not arming correctly. If it can't arm, it tries again and again. On ours it turned out to be the upper tail gate not closing properly. After 2 batterys, we just clened the losk mec and it was fine, but we found it by chance. I think that test book could...

I've heard of a 4.2l Toyota Diesel conversion that is very good, it might involve using the gearbox as well, but I can't find the details, also i'm pretty sure that someone has put a large american diesel in a P38. As eightavee said tho, its not worth it.

Once it is warm, it is good, I can't tell its runnig on lpg. But it is only doing 9mpg, and thats on a run!! When it is cold, it cuts out which is a worry cos it is as you are slowing down and need the brakes!! Thats the way it has been since we got it. Think you are right tho, i'll get a...

I have an LPG 4.0 Disco 2. It has problems, backfiring, crap economy and when cold it can cut out. I took it to my local lpg expert and he said I had a single point system that acted as if it was an old single carb confusing the hell out of my mordern managment causing all of my problems and...

Beaulieu is good, if its the 4x4 day. Haven't been to Monkey world, don't like em. Tank museum is good fun. Sammy Miller museum is good if you like bikes. errrrr, we've got pubs n clubs, alot of harbour with boats!, corfe castle is good, swanage railway is cool. There is loads, whole...

LPG was already fitted, so no expense there. But I think it leaks. Got an expert looking at it on thursday.
