    Looking to get into the 100 series

    LPG is actually fairly easy to find in most towns in England, Scotland and Wales too. .. your eye soon learns how to spot the 3rd row of costs on the fuel-price boards out side fuel stations. The Hydrogen is a fab solution, other than the H generator its the cost of water, I am sure the car felt...

    Looking to get into the 100 series

    I agree its a unit, and if MPG is important great - use it. I last filled my car in April 2021 with Petrol, its probably 60% full - the price was then £1.09/Litre for unleaded, locally, now its £1.44, for my interests the important metric has to be journey cost or monthly spend. LPG is sooooo...

    Secret? there is none - ask away .... this is the 4.7 Petrol Amazon running on LPG. to help with slightly extra power and fuel consumption there is an ignition tightener installed, and one of those self cleanable air-filters, also makes the engine smoother - no other 'secrets' .... I do not...

    Overheating

    Sorry only trying to be helpful and give my inquisitive experience these past 30+ years with these LC's - my basic care solutions - as stated have given me trouble free millions of miles.

    Overheating

    the presureised system is really only about allowing the water temp to go beyond boiling point - of that I am quite sure .... this can happen in high load and high heat conditions - but for most normal running occasions the water rarely goes beyond 98C in a good performing car - Diesels normally...

    Overheating

    I would say 100C is a little high ... is the gauge accurate? .... try this, drive the car under loaded conditions with OUT the rad cap fitted, if the water boils over you need to do a fix ...

    2001 V8 with no cat.

    Agreed, there are 2 Cats one each side of the gear box say 12" below the manifold flange - I had 2 new ones fitted with stainless pipe manifold to rear - wonderful job by a Co in Birmingham - great price too - I had the rear slightly be-spoked to alow the LPG tank a little more room - very sweet job
