Good evening all..
Been searching through posts for the last couple of hours, am now scared i will go the same way as the member 'scoobie..' who has given up on his RR.
However needs must and we need our wheels running, been forced onto public transport the last few weeks and with 2 toddler's - one being disabled as is his mother - this has proved less than ideal to say the least.
'Rocco' is currently in a local landy specialist, having broken down and the AA recommending this particular garage. Symptoms were lack of power - similar to a rev limiter past 2k revs - slows to 20mph going up steepish hills - following pretty severe pinking when pulling off when running lpg to the point it would cut out, most dangerous at junctions etc as you can imagine
Garage have said Lpg issues would need software to look at them which they cant do, but did get back saying it requires 4 sensors; 2 x lamda £175 each, 1 maf sensor 'which arent made anymore, were £900 new but will do me a 2nd hand one for £300', and a 4th sensor i didnt get name of but was 'only a tenner'. With 2 hours labour and Vat quote was £900 :$
At these prices the car will be scrapped, simply too much to spend out at mo. Looked around including ebay found maf sensors new around £35 each, lamda's at £40 ish each new.
If anybody can offer the value of their wisdom/experience be terribly appreciated. Dont wish to think ill of the garage - it has mixed reviews here - but such a gap in prices for the parts is more than disconcerting.
I could diy fit if easy enough(?!)
Many happy thoughts to anyone that can advise..
Regards
