So I'm not using The Mig much at the moment as I need an estate, so I use The Merc as the daily drive. I had to visit a friend in Modbury, South Devon yesterday which is about 60 miles or so and I thought I'd give The Mig a run out! :)
She started fine and ran fine down to Modbury and it was an enjoyable drive in the sunshine and I saw a Ford Mustang 8) Anyway came back late afternoon (saw an Austin Maestro! :o) and decided to stop in Exeter for the evening to see some other friends and get a bite to eat. :)
I left about midnight for the 30 mile trip home. It was cold about 1.5 on the dash and the LPG took along time to kick in, but I just put that down to the temperature, when it did switch over it kept going back to petrol and wouldn't stick in LPG, when switched to LPG it went with a bit of a thump! :-\ So it was like this all the way home and just before I got home it started to misfire!! :(
I've tried it again today and it's doing the 'dugga dugga dugga' (on petrol and LPG) that I'm sure we're all familiar with.... :-\
So I guess it'll be one of the usual suspects, cam cover leak, dispack etc..... :-\ The Merc's been a bit temperamental recently so I can do with it to be honest! Pah!! ;D

Ive heard this so many times with LPG and it puts me off fitting any system :-\

I've had The Mig for 7 years in July and by and large she's given me around 75,000 miles of cheap trouble free motoring!! :y That includes the LPG system! :)
She's been a bit neglected since being usurped by The Merc :-[ , so a hissy fit was probably inevitable! ;D
