Hello All Finally got a price for a group buy on LPG conversions, the installer has 20 years experience. he recomends a multi point (sequential conversion) but will also fit a single point (induction conversion) for a group buy 5 or more with any type or size of tank. 8 cylinder conversions £800 all inclusive for an induction system £1800 all inclusive for a top quallity sequential conversion 8 cyl, less for 6 & 4 cyl cars includes certificate & inspetion / adjustment after first 1000 kms he will require a £300 deposit for each conversion the converters are in Romford Essex contact me if you are intrested thanks Mark

Hi folks. As Pete isn't setting up on his own & is up by Hull, I will be having a meeting with a converter on Friday in the Romford Essex area. He will be willing to give a decent discount for a group buy, & uses Dutch or Italian stuff for the important components. he would prefer to fit sequential systems, for people with little or no mechanical knowlege, due to the possabillity of backfire on the indution systems. (if the filter is blown off he doesnt want people running around with no air filter connected). saying that he will fit an induction system if you want, ( Its what I will go for as I have a ls400 which runs fine on them). He has put a bit of a spanner in the works, as He is currently testing a hydrogen fuel cell or (HHO BROWNS GAS) conversion on his own car, and will have the economy/pollution results next week, this system is a lot cheaper & is simple to fit ( I am very sceptical about it though) I have looked it up on the net, & it seems to work, & also from riding motorcycles I know that they perform a lot better on a crisp summers morning with a bit of moisture / mist in the air. I also drive trucks which have an add blue system ( which ive been told is cows urine) for better economy & lower pollution (also used on the new VW Polo) Pete have you had any experience with this system. So if any of you are intrested give me the details of the conversion you want Car Type of tank Type of conversion single(induction) or multipoint(sequential) And I will get you a price Thanks Mark

I think it may be prudent to see what Pete has to offer dont you, if it does'nt work out we have at least 3 conversions down this way thanks Mark

Hello Pete I will hold off for the moment, As I would prefer to trust you with my pride & joy, as you are obviously going to be more enthusiastic about doing a good job, Im sure the outher members will be of the same opinion, A mate of mine also has a Mk 4 Ls that wants converting, So it looks like you have got plenty enough intrest to get going as long as the price is competative. thanks Mark

Hi Pete Do you think you will be up and running within the month as I need mine done before 16/12/08 going to the (very Green) in laws in south Germany if I turn up with a 280 bhp 4 litre V8 on petrol, I think I might be in for a divorce. Ta Mark

Ta Noel just done it thanks Mark

Hi I have paid up to become a gold member how do I activate it ta Mark

Hi all Anyone intested in getting together on a group buy on lpg conversions I have posted more info on the pinned topic ls 430 lpg conversion Thanks Mark

I got my insurance through SKY £400 fully comp protected no claims & only £250 xs for my postcode its a bargain 43 years old 8 years NCB 1 sp30 I shoped around & it was by far the best Quote

OK possably not Petes theory makes sense ta Mark

Possably a sticking piston in the calliper, if its not air in the system.

Hi Thanks I will let my mate know

Hi all again does anyone know if a mark3 passenger door mirror will fit a mark 4 ( I will have to tell my mate to become a member) Ta Mark

Hi all bought one from tow equipe £220 for a mark3, its a watling bar & they say it fits a mark4 thanks Mark

Yep bushes and ball joint. got to be aftermarket

Hello redsteve thanks i know about the few seconds to unlock the boot, the second stage is, once you have locked the car if you press the locking button again,the indicators flash 5 times, I belive the car is deadlocked and the internal sensors are switched off for the alarm, (I asume so you can lock the car and leave a dog inside), It will not unlock on the key button at all thanks Mark

Hi Chris They are electric , in front of the radiator, maybe one has come disconected , there should be a tunning screw behind each one, they are a standard item and would only be a few quid to replace from a local motor factors in the worst case. ta Mark

Hello Steve, It looks like its only a cat D write off or max cat C, you are probably only looking at 7 or £800 to repair it at a good body shop and you would probably be able to buy the salvage for £500. At most you would have to have a VIC (vehicle I D check ) check to see if its a cat c or d. You could be quids in and not loose a car you know. I had the same thing happen to me last year with a Motorcycle ( the day I bought it) my neighbor revesed out of her drive and it was a cat D write off I ended up with the bike fixed £1500 in my bin Good luck Mark

Hi folks It seems one of my best mates was so impressed with my new ls400 that he went out and bought one at the weekend. he has a problem with the remote system, It locks on the remote both stages but wont unlock same for the boot. if we lock it to the second stage 5 flashes of the lights, unlock it with the key, the alarm goes off. both remotes do the same ( new batterys fitted) Any Ideas thanks Mark

Hello yes a 94/ 95 is the same are you looking at the one on ebay for £40. ta Mark

Hello all, An update to my previos post a firm advertising on Ebay are now selling mark 2 3 & 4 upper wishbones for £62 each delivered their ebay shop is united_automotive. I checked mine at the weekend ( they are brand new) outerwise I would buy a set for the future. ta Mark

Hi I agree rear main seal, one of the points I checked when buying, get yourself a oil drip tray or cat litter tray & some cat litter, if its just started leaking it should be Ok for a long while yet (even years). just keep an eye on it & check your oil more often. unless you feel the car is worth spending a few hundred to get it sorted.

Hello all, Has anyone got a towbar they would like to sell, or Know if a mark 3 one would fit a mk iv , I am still jumping up and down like a 12 year old after picking up my first Ls, I used to drive around in big bmw's & mercs when I lived in Germany and worked in the motor trade, but i don't recall them being this nice to drive. thanks Mark

Mine will half fit in the garage, would have to get out through the sunroof though. designed for a pony & trap, del boys van or a BMW Iseta.
