Ditto, as per the book. (And most cars of the era are the same. But by no means all) But - there is also an additional spec for our engines, the ash rating. C3 is very likely the most commonly listed for ours, Low SAPS - Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulphur. So that when some oil inevitably gest burned, it doesn't wreck the catalytic converter., and also other stuff that is beyond me!

45 is a bit too high. It really will be fine at the same as the 55 height ratio, I'd guess it's 2.3 or 2.4 kpa (bar). 34 to 36 psi, on the plate. They are not Formula 1 racing machines, a couple of psi are not going to mess up the ride or handling. Nor would it in any car, in honest reality. The pressure should be increased for extra load, most cars I've had give different pressures on the data plate for number of passengers, and then luggage carried. So a small amount of pressure either way is absolutely not going to mess up the car. What did you drive previously? And what did you run the tyres at on that? To put into context your concerns!!

Yep, they will be jolly darn good!

You could simply declare alloy wheels as a "modification". Then it won't stress you out. The size is totally fine and will not upset the car. The last few years doing this hasn't made a penny difference to our premium. Bizarrely, the LPG conversion brought the insurance DOWN on this Vellfire, and our Subaru, strange as owt..........

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for a good result!!

In theory it will be on the Gen 2, too, that's where mine is, same year as yours @Hecktangle Hope you're enjoying it!

Plus one! That company do know their stuff. And at 4 volts, it's deader than the Parrot form the Parrot sketch, if you're old enough...... If not, from the Monty Python team I believe it was.

Ooh yes, rather gorgeous! And rare as rocking horse poop as you say, I think I've seen 2 others total, over the couple of years we were looking for one, but they weren't the spec we were after, very sadly.

Harrumph, we get 20 to 25, 😆 lol!!

Cheers fella!

Hi Laura, we insured ours with Admiral, via Confused comparison site.

Hi Martyn! Aha, well the good news is you don't need an LPG garage! Easy one first - try some fuel system cleaner in the petrol tank. Many products are available, but I have used Cataclean in the past. If you go with that one the full bottle is poured in with around a quarter of a tank, don't put it in with more, it can't do the job properly. Then take it for a good drive. Another is Millers Petrol Power Ecomax, I use that for the octane boost property, in the Vellfire and our Subaru ( it's the 3.0 H6 so likes high octane too like these 3.0s and 3.5s). That's a 500ml bottle but it will treat up to 500 litres. Or much higher levels for a clean up. Millers do a diesel treatment too, 500ml again, and our local diesel injection specialist company said it works when I took my previous van in to them, they saw it in the van. It makes their job easier apparently, and they can tell the difference when they strip injectors. It wasn't sales patter, they didn't sell it!! That was 20 years ago, and I've been using it since. Many will say they are "snake oil", but I reckon it does work, by no scientific research just "feel" of the engine and "seat of the pants" driving. Doesn't feel quite as smooth if I've run without it for a few fill ups, usually 10 gallons. Not tank fulls, the van takes 100 litres!!! PLEASE come back and let us know how you get on! If you get a good result then it's information for the whole forum!

Hi there! 300 miles!!!!!!! Ooh I'm jealous of such range 😂 On our LPG tank anyway, it's usually about 260 the way my wife drives it....... But if we were on a trip I'd never manage that far without a coffee and leg stretch stop anyway, it's my age!!

Hi there! Asking the obvious starter - does it ONLY do this when on LPG? Because if it does it on petrol, then it's not the LPG systems fault! If it's only on gas, then yes the LPG system needs looking at. It's actually not too common, as the LPG ecu follows the petrol ecu for the injection, with the necessary adjustments for the different fuel. So if it was set properly when it was fitted, it shouldn't go off. However, if the system is old, with many miles, the injectors do not last forever, and filters do need changing.

For the size, is the tyre information plate still on your drivers door pillar?
