• BMW X5 4.4 2004 - LPG advice wanted 3 May 2015 (Forum)
  Hi everybody, I have recently bought a X5, which has LPG fitted, She runs really well. Got one thing that is niggling me though, I have heard that it is best to use an oil additive, as gas can cause premature valve wear. Can anyone advise me on this and if so, what oil additive should I use?

• LPG conversions -- resale values 3 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I was having a look at a couple of LPG conversion websites, and was wondering about the resale values against a diesel car. Say, for the sake of argument a 2.5l petrol car cost about £3000 at 4 years old because of the fuel consumption.

  I have an XJ6 which is beautiful, comfortable and not at all green. I want to get the car converted to LPG but I need to find someone in the Birmingahm area who has had a conversion which they are satisfied with and the name of a good garage for the conversion.  I keep hearing horror stories and do not want to end up in the mire.

• LPG, roadtax, and pre March 01 17 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  I notice that if your car runs on LPG then you can get a reduction in the roadtax. However, just my luck, I bought my X reg car in Feb 01 and it seems that I can only get the reduction if I had got it from March 01. Is this indeed the case and am I just going to have to put up with paying the full price (all for the sake of buying one week too early!).
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.6 LPG for dummies? 29 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I know how to fill 'em up OK, but the finer points of the Vauxhall Dual Fuel is the gap in the knowledge. There is a switch to swap between petrol & LPG - does the LPG kick in straight away, or is it after a delay? Also how does the fuel gauge work? Allegedly it reads both petrol & gas on the same dial but I cannot fathom how. Have had a fiddle with it, switching doesn't do anything to the gauge, and the switch itself starts flashing - what's occuring???

• Ford Mondeo III - LPG Conversion- a good idea? 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I like the car but Labour are just taking too much money off me. I would like to reduce my running costs. Thinking of the LPG conversion which at £2000 is not cheap. I do approx 10k miles per year so the payback time is a bit long for me. I would appreciate a few useful comments from people who have done this.
• Subaru Forester II (2002 - ) - 2006 2.5 XTE Convert to LPG or not? 1 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Economically it seems to make sense to have a conversion to lpg given the mileage I do. From an emissions POV it also makes sense and my tax bill will reduce. Trouble is, I cannot find any decent advice as to whether reliability will be adversely affected. Subaru did not offer a conversion on this engine (Turbo) and their conversion subcontractor was polite, but not helpful.

• Jeep cherokee with U/S lpg conversion 29 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hello all, anybody got the knowledge on LPG conversions? Its a Millenium system about 3 years old. It will run the car ok for a few miles then almost shuts off. ( Car will just idle only) Car runs ok on petrol. Diagnostic inconclusive. Ive re-earthed the solenoids, renewed the stepping motor and substituted a new solenoid for each of the 3 in turn.
