When I said a spirited drive I didn't mean a Malcolm Cambell esq land speed record attempt!


;D ;D ;D





And 'Spirited' also didn't mean 'drive it 'till it gives up the Ghost' ;D ;D ;D ;)

Oops, didn't check my post count first :o ::)

Well, TheBoy, Lazydocker and myself got it running on LPG today without a hitch. Runs beautifully on LPG and isn't overly rattly in normal circumstances, IMHO.

However, give it some "spirited" driving (by TheBoy's convention) and it does, gradually, get rattly. My feeling is that this is oil temperature related (it takes a minute or two of ragging to get noisy and over 10 minutes or so it quietens down). I'm wondering if the oil pressure is a little low and, when the oil is hot as well, the lifters get noisy.

Not sure it's an ending. There is still a problem that needs to be investigated but the LPG chapter has been put to bed, at least.

This chapter isn't finished yet... As said, it did start making some rather nasty noises after some "enthusiastic" driving. But... It runs on LPG very well, with no apparent lag whatsoever :y :y

I've definitely caught the sun in the last 36 hours though ::) ::)

With the scuttle on, you can't hear the noise  :-/

That made me concerned all the way home, as that was what I was going to be listening for.

Took it easy - 70-80mph - all the way, but the A43 got boring ::).  Didn't go mad, but it did cruise up to above 3k rpm.

Just put out the 2nd light on the LPG gauge as I pulled up.  40miles calibrating, and 140m home.

And yes, boot down from a 40mph cruise to 70(ish ::)) mph, none of the hessitation seen with other Stags. Not sure I fully understand why.

However, we could only do limited testing, as the Silver Bullet got a bit of a monk on, so we let her cool down....

Sounds about right ;)

Did think it would sound much quieter with the scuttle on.

Any lag/hesitation on the LPG front?

[edit]Just seen your next post ::)

I think I'll be dropping the pressure on mine again and experimenting some more :-/[/edit]
