"Throw us a bone":) You haven't really given enough information for anyone to start trying to help. Is the engine running badly? what LPG system do you have? how did you measure the poor consumption, full tank to full tank? If you run petrol, what is the consumption on that. For the record...

PM sent. Cheers Chris

Few questions for you: Did the emissions fail on both gas and petrol? What was the problem, Hydrocarbons or CO? Do you have a sequential gas system or single point? (one hose going to a ring on the intake manifold). First thoughts, if your gas system is single point and the problems...

Cor, you must be posh then:D Greetings from Elson:)

Looking back on it, it probably took me about 100 hours to do mine spread over 6 months. I'm sure a professional outfit could do it faster but there has to be a good week's work to do a decent job. By the time you add in materials etc I would guess you would be looking at a couple of grand...

OK, some progress with the description of the problem but unfortunately, that's me out now as I know stuff all about the Stromberg set up.....I was thinking in terms of SU's. Just had a look at the book and an old manifold with Strombergs on it in my garage. I can see the pipe that you are...

Not strictly important in this instance but just for the record, are we talking SU or Stromberg? Can you confirm fuel is not coming out of the overflow? If you have the ignition on with the pump pumping but the engine not running, is fuel entering the carb throat now or is it only when the...

Mmmm. Well a new rad is quite expensive, particularly if it has the built in oil cooler for the auto box. Unless it is visibly crap, before buying a new rad, I would be tempted to back flush the existing one and take the grille off and hose any crud from the matrix (good idea to cover the...

Can't come out to play I'm afraid but there are a few short and sweet lanes around Petersfield. Look on Hampshire CC website for map and current status. Cheers Chris

Ok, so you have the correct pump. The pump is supposed to overfuel with the excess travelling back to the tank through the return pipe (which should be a narrower bore than the supply pipe to maintain pressure at the carbs). If the float is sticking, you will either get no fuel to the needle...

You haven't said what condition your rad is in or if you are losing coolant anywhere. Given that you have taken out the thermostat and you reckon the water pump is ok, the only thing I can think of is that the rad fins must be blocked. You should get enough cooling at 60mph to not even need...

Hi, Noobie to this forum but I have been running LPG for about 12 years and completed 4 installations, all of which are still running. Fett is right to say that you need a decent engine to start with. LPG won't damage an engine but it does seem to expose any weaknesses and is less forgiving...

Thanks to all who replied. Sounds like the attachment to the chassis and the steering shaft are not an issue. I have the whole set: box, hydraulic pipes and pump so at least I know I won't be stuck if the MOT guy doesn't like the play this time. I did adjust the existing box last year and...

Hi All, Its MOT time and I have a fair amount of play in the steering box (advised at last MOT) but I'm used to it, you know how it is....... However, I have got a Disco 4 bolt box in stock and I was wondering if any of you would know if it is a straightforward replacement for the earlier 3...

Ok, thanks for the advice its worth a try. The battery end of the cable is nice and clean but I didn't look at the other end! Cheers Chris

Hi People, Sorry to launch straight in with a cry for help on post 1 but here goes anyway..... The better half bought a 2002 5 door TD4 ES a couple of months ago and apart from having 2 of the '3 Amigos' occasionally the only other fault that has surfaced is the battery running out of juice...
