Well done for sorting it yourself must be a sign on the wall.

Best thing to do is keep it:-

1. Don't let your new found knowledge go to waste
2. With LPG working now running cost will be less
3. When will you ever own a car like this again?

You know it makes sense

Have to agree - if you can keep it!

[kcv]

Keep it, at least until you've had a good chance to try it and decide.

Hi Graham,

I could be seriously interested, as you may have seen my car is basically unfortunately written off, but I couldnt afford to run one unless it had LPG. So Im glad you got it fixed.

I will hopefully know in the coming week what the outcome will be. There is still a chance I could supply parts myself or keep the car and get a pay out and fix it, but with nearly 3 times the mileage of your car I am thinking its not a bad move to throw in some extra money for yours and let mine go.

I have to be honest though and say Im not so keen on the 1/2 leather & alcantera

Hi Everyone,

Really good news! I have managed to fix my LPG!

I spend Saturday morning reading up on how LPG systems work and came to the conclusion that the engine was definitly being starved of fuel. I changed the LPG filter as planned, located the LPG reducer and with half a turn of a screw (to increase the LPG gas pressure) it was all sorted. Now LPG is running on a par with Petrol.

I am releaved and also a bit embarassed that thats all it took. Now i cant decise what to do. Do i keep it or sell it?

Regards

Graham

Missed this at the time, what info did you find on the LPG for reference purposes.

[Tim]

Swap it out sharpish. Don't you remember when the Corsa ploughed into you all the seats got swade'd.

Hi All,

On the LPG i simply looked on the internet and found some people who had similar issues which were resolved by increasing the gas pressure on the regulator.

I found a diagram of my LPG regular which showed the pressure screw on the top. I gave this half a turn and it made a massive difference. General consensus on the forum i was looking was not to turn it more than this if you dont really know what you are doing (could cause gas to leak of send mixture out of whack), but it could be that a further 1/4 turn might improve things further.

I did initially reported the lpg was running on a par with petrol. after driving for a while on LPG again the performace on petrol is beter but LPG is miles better than it was.

Slightly annoyed with myself as well as i re-read some emails i had from the previous owner (David Nash) and he said he had intended to get the gas presure increased but didnt have time. I totally missed this and could have saved myself loads of trouble if i read his emails properly.

Anyway i am happy to give anyone a demo and any inspection is welcome.

if anyone wants to have a look just PM me of give me a bell!

Not much i can do about the alcantara seats im afraid. They are the heated ones though!

Regards

Graham

I think what is more annoying is that you've had professionals look at your system and none of them have spotted the problem and rectified it.

I know ColinTF likes my dark grey Alcantara and this looks to be the same as is quite rare from what I can gather but could be wrong.

So like Tim says switch the seats over or see if Colin wants them and switch with him?
