Just noticed you have a 4.6 LPG. Can I ask roughly what mpg you're getting as I bought one that'd just been converted in December and was told it would be uneconomical for the first 1000 miles until run in then would be ok.....it isn't! Am getting approximate 1.5 mpg using LPG....help!

Hmm, I think you need to check your facts. 10 mph is the avarage speed on a lot of the motorways like the M25 in the UK. No traffic problems here, 80mph limit on the autoroutes empty rural routes, I wonder which country it's possible to plan a 400 mile journey and arrive at the planned time 90% of the time. Only time it gets heavy is in August when everyone goes on holiday.:p

full ecu reset, cleared faults and new crank shaft sensor fitted £125

I have read that one person claims to have stripped out the BECM and replaced it with relays. Huge job, better to deal with the problems as they arise.

join the aa home relay, also keep lots of spare cash on you even if your going around the shop
 
Actually the best £360 i spent.............. was on a bicycle cos i am rarely able to use my P38... it's a very expensive garden ornament ..
 
dont count the cost,just enjoy when its running.you can always buy something cheap but when the cost is forgotten the quality is remembered
