Hi
I am looking to buy an MPi 2.0l 1994 to 1998 Discovery. Has anyone got any experiance with a discovery running on LPG? I would like to know if there are things to avoid or to look for. What sort of MPG do you get from a converted one.
I might also buy one and have it converted myself if i cant find one already done, has anyone had it done? where is the best place and what sort of cost would i be looking at?

Thanks
Rob

Fair enough...
What is wrong with the MPi in particular? i have had a diesel Freelander which i have found quite noisy and prefer to drive a petrol vehicle, so am looking to go back to a petrol. I'm a bit out of touch with whats good and what is not so good as my last petrol Landy was a Series IIa.

A V8 on Buckfast would be better than most options.

Hi,I've been running a 94 3.9 disco on lpg for about 4 years now,been great,works out cheaper to run than the 2.0 cavalier it replaced,get a multipoint injection type of lpg system if you can as they are supposed to be a lot better,but mine is the single o ring type that runs a bit like a carb,but very effective,lovely noise and power of a v8 and good economy too,hope this helps,regards,Mark

Hi again,most of my driving is around town,and usually on lpg,i normally get around the 120mile mark to about 50 litres of lpg,usually 12/14mpg on petrol,(i tend to have a heavy right foot),its the noise of the v8 that does it,so i imagine with the cost of lpg being around half that of petrol,then i must be getting the equivelant of 25/30mpg
I recently did a 100mile run and it cost me £10 worth of lpg at the cost of 42p/litre,hope this helps,regards,Mark
