The locking wheel nuts where on at the correct torque but the problem with them is that they are made of such crappy steel that the slightest pressure and they disort, rendering them hard to remove with the locking wheel nut key.

I think snap on make a special device to go on a locking wheel nut and remove it with out a key.

Do you have Land Rovers own locking wheel nuts. If you've got them, take them off now and fling them. Got a flat today so set about the wheel change in the pouring rain. The locking wheel nut key slipped nicely on to the locking nut and then I heaved on the wheel nut removing tool. The wheel...

What a shower of winkers. I was told that I needed my 'petrol adaptations" resetting but only Land Rover could do it because they had the software. It was part of the process to cure poor running on my LPG system. I called in to the LR dealers, spoke to the service manager and told him what I...

It is typical of this stick and carrot govt. All stick and no carrot. The poxy £15 reduction in road fund licence for an investment of £2,000 ( average conversion cost ) but only for those who bother to change the fuel type on their V5, isn't worth the effort.

The tax will be shooting up in Oct when the chancellors 3p a litre is added. He has vowed to reduce the tax differential between petrol and LPG by increasing the duty on LPG by more than petrol at each budget. Quite why he has choosen to penalise one of the cleanest fuels around is known only to...

Thanks for the info which I will wave at the next LPG person. It was original tuned with me driving , about six months after the conversion by a former Worldwide Autogas lad who knew his stuff. He has since left and gone to the wilds of Scotland,

10 mpg of gas !!! Lack of acceleration between 50 and 70. Feels like its having a heart attack at 80mph its so lumpy. A Suzuki Jimney passed me yesterday and I had nothing in reserve at 75 mph!!!. Other than that, its now quite smooth as you set off up to 50

Petrol now just over £4.00 a gallon - gas around £2.00 a gallon. Don't use it out of choice . With the V8 Auto Disco struggling to do 16 mpg on petrol, it needs to be gas.

Its the one with the round black plastic tops with the square black plastic piece underneath them, style of injector.. The last dabbler also enlarged the injectors which he reckoned where too small for the V8.

Does any one actuall own a Disco 11 V8 ( 2001) with the Romano LPG system that actually works ? Had 18 months of throwing money at it . Used more gas traveling the N. West looking for some one who actually knows how to set one up than I have used running it for work. Latest purchase- 2 lambda...

We took my mates handle and surround off and looking directly a head of us, we could see small , factory drilled holes which we though might have been something to do with the area an electric motor would have been mounted if the sunroof was electric.

In answer to the question of LPG by the OP, don't bother. I have thrown fistfulls of money away on a Disco 11 conversion that has been less than satisfactory for to much of the time. Members of the LPGA are simply unable to cure the problems and have now taken to rubbishing the Land Rover badge...

Morrisons have raised their LPG by 3 pence a litre this week, thats 14 pence a gallon. WHY ?

Take off the covering with the handle and in built light. You should see the roof area behind them. My mate found factory drilled holes in his which we suspect where for different types of mechanisms...

Looks like I'll have to go it alone then !. Just a bit worried about the part ex thing because of the reaction I have had when taking it in to established garages for servicing and work. Doesn't matter if you are wanting a sticking rear window looked at- you get the ' ohh, it's gas, we don't do...

Thinking of selling my Jet Black Disco 11 V8i ES fitted with Romano LPG system. First reg Nov 2001 with LPG fitted in August 2005. 52,500 miles. Just had the LPG system over hauled and Magicore leads fitted Any one know what the private market is like at the moment ? Any one had any experience...

I trust your next stop will be your solicitor ?

Bad gas, bad petrol...when are trading standards going to get stuck in and do something constructive. After all, we pay enough for the stuff. My lpg disco has been running rough now for a couple of weeks so I am wondering if I have some of this bad lpg

OK, so I have an LPG system fitted but hell, that shouldn't mean every spanner king that opens the bonnet need back away and send me packing ? The look of fear on their faces has to be seen to be believed. Reccomendations with in a 30 mile radius of St Helens any one ?
