I've been thinking about high emisions could the fact tiny is fitted with lpg thus timing could have been adjusted so cause my prob?

On LPG the ECU controlling it should advance the timing beyond that needed for petrol running as LPG takes a lot longer to burn. On the way to the test station get it properly warm, low gears higher RPMs blow the sht out.
 
I arrived at heathrow from Australia last night and today took the rangie off SORN and went and started it for the first time since November last year.
Started first turn of the key and the battery had not been on charge so just connected it up and fired first time.
I think there is a bit of a problem with the EAS but its drivable and will be sorted before this years trip across Asia again.
 
went for a drive and now as i came back there is a small tinny tanging noise coming from the driver side back wheel.? bush we thinks it is. so i called in at the landy garage and it seems i need a special tool to put the new bush in as its not like the other bushes were you just push them in with a bush pusher. any one know were i can get this tool from. lazer tools might have them im going to look now. oh the rangey is 2002 . im going to order some brake disc,s at the same time whats a good all rounder for them these days should i go for the OEM

If it is the petrol then so are we all. Did you steam clean the engine and then drive it around the corner? Even then I'm surprised it didn't leave him a little dribble on his carpets.
 
Well emissions are still to high so waiting to get the codes read by the garages diagnostic kit. Hopefully this will tell me what to do next lambdas or cats or something else :(
It gets better headlight adjustment isn't possible as it from a left hand drive vehicle ahhhhh new head light now ordered from eBay.
I am starting to wonder if this thing is worth the hassle the smile I had on my face going to the garage was great but it's turning into a money pit with no sign of being able to use it any time soon.
 
good luck it should sale through its test. ive been out and the knocking on the shaft is more so now its happening when i slow down and coast at 10mph till i stop. only happens then i cant wait to get under to check. monday. cant think if its u joint or center bearing holding the shaft up or its a diff bearing. it sounds like the shaft is catching up with the engine when slowing. its knocks off and on. ??

Sounds like the roller bearings have dropped out of the u/j, check soon before the yokes are damaged
 
Mmm, Island 4x4 only list front props complete, £60 for ****part and £330 for OEM + vat. Time to get under and see if you need one. Many manufacturer's props are not designed to allow you to change just the joint these days.
