Front ram - my piece of wire wobbles when floored, so it works.

Can't even see rear ram - except for a bit of pipe.

On overrun it sounds like a bit of fuel is getting through as it pops a little.

Sounds like a manifold is blowing when cold :(

Suspect exhaust leak too
Watch the actual actuators - the vac pipes moving means nothing.

My piece of wire was wrapped around the front actuator - can't even get to the back with all the wires and pipes there

if i had to guess i would say you have now completed around 8000 miles or so on lpg possibly more? and the car has just not got the urge it used to have but still performs ok ;D the simple answer is the lpg has now scoured all the old deposits of carbon from your combustion chambers and your slightly down on compression hence the lower performance, its a known occurence on lpg motors, the answer is to run it for a 1000 miles on petrol and the missing oerformance will return until the gas cleans it all out again!!
