It failed on (the words on the failure form).......coil springs modified leaving the suspension inoperative ( both springs) ) Modified!!!! They are exactly as they have always been, me modify them!!!!! I only have the tools to do a wheel change...........oh and nearside headlight beam too low. They cannot do the repairs till the end of next week.

A couple of months after the conversion the oil pressure light came on so i changed the oil and filter. When the oil came out it was as black as tar and the filter felt like it was full of lead it was so heavy. Because there is no carbon produced when burning LPG the detergents in the oil done their job an cleaned all the carbon out, it even stopped burning oil when it was cold. By the third oil change the oil was coming out almost as clean as it went in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All will be OK when! it's repaired......just wish they would hurry up and get it sorted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
