    Hi, I have an Astra estate (53) petrol / LPg car (works car) 2 weeks ago i was having my dinner in the car (mobile engineer) when there was a popping noise and lots of steam coming from under the bonnet.

  • Left Hand Drive Car 26 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    Hi all, Got a car which is left hand drive, which could come over to the UK to be registered and used. It uses LPG already so almost makes sense as the conversion has already been done, and the cost of LPG in our area is still around 39p/l. My question is, will the insurance company have a field day quoting me silly money just because it is a LHD?

  • LPG Escort 6 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    This winter has made me more like Victor Meldrew than I would like but at least I can now look at the arrival of crocussses and daffodils despite or maybe because of global warming and reassure myself that our political masters are striving to improve things for all of us ! Meanwhile in the real world I have a 51 Escort van with an LPG conversion which doesnt want to switch over to gas. It has 100K , runs perfectly well on petrol but cuts out when switched over even though the gas tank is full. I suspect its a solenoid/filter problem but before I dig too deeply under the bonnet I wonder if anybody can suggest anything which will save me time.
  • LPG Conversion of Volvo 850 7 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    After a year the car failed the test on emissions on both fuels and it was retutned to Thirsk where it was found that another control box was needed. After fitting the petrol mpg returned to 30 but the LPG figure has never been better than 16. I am hoping to return it to Thirsk again. I spoke to another 850 owner last year who had the same problem. Is the engine control system over correcting and not able to take the conversion without the computer going haywire?

    I do about 400 miles a week, mostly short journey, not sure if the veggie oil is a good option for it.... But the LPG option will cost about the same, conversion i have been quoting about 1k, if its the same consumption, then I will be looking at 7p / mile on a rover 420 or similar for a diesel...

  • Omega cutting-out problems 26 Oct 2001 (Forum)
    Has anyone else got problems with their Vauxhall Omega cutting-out whilst in motion/stand-still? This really is irritating as I love the car and would like to get the car LPG converted. But I'm afraid to invest money into LPG conversion before i can cure the cutting out problem. My car serviced every 8k miles and has been fitted with a new idle air control valve and problem persists.
