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!! 

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!!

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.
