Problem fixed at last, it was the Lpg computer - replacement for £60 from Lpg shop & it was all sorted...

I did originally think it could be heat related. I can drive for half an hour on petrol then switch the Lpg on & it still has 5-10 mins of poor running. After the engine has settled on Lpg, if I switch back to petrol or stop for a few mins the Lpg has the same fault when it restarts. Sometimes i...

Last serviced in February and he's been through the whole system over the last few months, including the software which sees the misfire but when testing the system says that all injectors are working correctly. He reinstalled previous known good firmware which did nothing. No obvious engine sort co...

Hi All Had an ongoing LPG issue for a few months now. Bongo runs fine on petrol but when switching over to LPG it misfires quite badly, second cylinder only. This happened suddenly one day, was fine in the morning into work then awful that evening. So long as the revs and speed are high enough it is...

Barclaycard paid for the repair in the end, now just getting the financial ombudsman to decide whether Barclaycard also pay for the hire cars or whether the dealer should be paying. She's still running lovely & we got away to climb Snowdon last weekend & off to do Scafell pike & Ben Nevi...

I finally got the bongo back yesterday & all is well, she has a lot more power than she ever did & mpg was always dreadful at 25mpg on long motorway trips at best so I'm hopeful that will have improved. Barclaycard are slowly sorting it all. It's been 7 weeks so a bit of a pain but it's grea...

Still waiting for the dealer to send the crankshaft, should be Monday/Tuesday. Due to the fit with bearings etc it may be easier to cut a new keyway in the original so this week my crankshaft is coming out & then we'll decide which is the best option. Barclaycard have sent through a form to comp...

Called the dealer today & they said they would fix it for free =D> if I get it down there... though it would cost me £600 odd to get it down there + train fares for me to get back there to pick it up after the repair + it has already had £200-300 worth of repairs/investigations done on it so pre...

Upon closer inspection of the crankshaft & sprocket, the keyway damage is too severe. At the minimum I reckon we will be pulling the crankshaft and cutting a new keyway in both the shaft and the sprocket. Personally I would rather cut two at 120° each to the original to give a spare in case it e...

Photos of the offending bit. He reckons that the rust seen indicates that there had been some sort of problem in that area for a while... https://goo.gl/photos/9ttVCMwoH5AgwChK8 Out of interest if I did want to get a replacement gear or Woodruff key, are there any sources for them other than to rob ...

We found the problem - the Woodruff key that holds the gear on the crankshaft has sheared, hence the timing is all over the place. Has caused a bit of other damage but should all be salvageable with a new key and some repair work. He did say he had seen this on a few diesel bongos but never a petrol...

I did already find that screw and it was very loose, almost rattling about so i did it up tight. Is that a bad thing? #-o at least i didn't take out the ECU before touching it... :oops: My LPG fitter says he has refitted the distributor twice and it keeps going out as if either some pin on/to do wit...

Yes there is an obd socket, i did plug in a reader and got some codes about air flow too high/low and an air sensor issue but i cleared them and they have not reappeared so i assume they were old codes left in the system. Another thing he was going to try was removing the lambda sensor to see if it ...

The hard brakes has maybe happened 10-20 times and always around the time of poor/low revs and or a stall when stopping or moving off, but still a rare occurrence - with a vacuum leak I'd expect the same issue every time? LPG fitter also said possible leak on one way valve by/in brake servo. He is a...

Yes it is the same sort of wire in the centre of the distributor as the other 4 wires. Talking with my LPG fitter we have likely issues that could cause the symptoms (have also occasionally had brakes going solid when revs play up, which i thought was something else) 1. Vacuum tube leak. Explains ba...
