If the stag switched back to petrol it will have stored a code, so get hold of the software and see what's going on.

My guess is that the vapour pressure is dropping because, for some reason, it can't keep up with the demand from the engine. Being turbocharged, you don't want it to run lean, so don't give it the beans on gas until you've sorted it for now.

Smell of gas=leak, as said. :y

Thanks Kevin - I'll leave the gas off until I can get a lead and find out what's going on.

I think I love you a little bit.

Just ordered this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAG-AUTOGAS-USB-Interface-Cable-for-STAG-4-200-300-LPG-Diagnostic-Cable-/321528068236?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4adc90f88c

Hope it's ok for my kit.

Big black plug near the cable tie is the diagnostic port on the loom on the car. You'll need to trace the loom round and fund the corresponding plug. Might have a blue or yellow cap on it.

Most likely the same, but worth checking. That's the same as mine anyway.

Reading isn't that far down the M4, so if I get stuck, I'll tap on your door!  :-* :-* :-*

Seriously, you'd be better visiting Kevin in Alton. Much more experience in tuning generally anyway. ;)

....and he has a lead.

All joking aside, I've bought the lead and I now (thanks to you) have the software.

I'll take it to the local specialists and get them to give it a good going over.  It was serviced in May, with a new 'reg stem solenoid' whatever that may be.

They know the car, they have serviced it for the last 6 years, so hopefully, they can solve the problem and it won't cost a penny (the dealer will be paying).

I ordered the cable because I like to be able to see whats going on.
