Evening all,
I have been having some what of a mare with my 4.6 Thor after paying over £2k to have a top of the range Prins LPG system fitted.
Was fitted over 5 months ago and has been back to the "approved installer" four times due to poor economy and performance.
I've owned a classic with a 10+yr old single point Leonardo system that gave better economy!
Anyway I'm about to take it too a different LPG garage as beyond fed up now.
I have fitted Magnecor leads, and was told I needed ngk platinum plugs. This was way after they were happy to set the system up on standard ngk copper core plugs.
Now I've read LPG eats platinum, so took the decision to buy some BRISK silver plugs designed for LPG. In order to get the system retuned to these plugs I've had to sign a disclaimer saying if it damages my engine it's down to me as I've fitted none standard plugs.
They have advised now that I fit NGK Silverline plugs part no. Lpg1 1496, that cost almost £200! Then I should go back for another retune. 5th time lucky!
Anyone had any experience of this? I know these brisk ones are cheap but since the re-tune to them performance and economy is way up. 250 miles from a 90L tank.
Apologies for the long post!!!
