I've got a few post head gasket change niggles. :(
1) It dosn't start first time. It starts second time, is lumpy for a couple of seconds, fires and then is fine. When warm it starts first time OK. I'm wondering if the HT leads didn't like being moved about straightened out etc :-\
2) LPG is taking longer to kick in and occasionally switches back to petrol when stopping at a junction/traffic lights etc. Maybe related to above?
3) There's a slight squeak coming from the cambelt area when it's cold, the noise disappears when the engine has warmed up. I refitted the same belt kit as it was less than a year old and was on about 15,000 miles. Didn't James and/or Webby have a similar issue? :-\
4) I think I have a slight coolant leak. Sigh... Mind you, given that I was putting more water in than fuel before, it's a massive improvement!! :D
I've only done about 300 miles locally so far, so it needs a good run which it will get next week. Any thoughts appreciated as always. TIA!! :y

Leak needs identifying as that could well be causing the lpg delay :-\

Hmmm that crossed my mind, but given that I was putting in a couple of litres daily before the HG change...... :-\

Depends where in the system the leak is as to what effects it might have :-\

I think webby and james'es were noisy but noise went away :)

Might need lpg setting up,if battery was disconnected for a long time,check all vac pipes are ok aswell.
