The seller would have known the problems already existed I'm 99.9% sure of this, his warranty is worth nothing and only covered up to 1,000 for the first 3 months from memory. Within 2 days of the car being returned he's upped the price by 2k, after the experience I wouldn't trust him with a matchbox car let alone a G4 and I'm normally a good judge of character! All I can suggest if you're really interested in it either take a diagnostics mach if you've got one or book an AA or RAC inspection.

Would need a new engine after it's been run on lpg for that many miles. The petrol v8 engine is quite bullit proof, I would of said it wouldn't be cheap to sort it out. Bits for that 4.4 bmw engine are not cheap.

Interesting you should say that Mark !!!! As I heard that they ran better on LPG, Or should I say it's less harmful to the Nikasil liners than Petrol. On a Rover V8 I'd agree.

No lpg runs hotter and has no librication. I think Je engineering created a system that had a device that added a type of oil to the engine so it lubricated the valves.

You can't win can you !!!!
Petrol has sulphur in it which attacks the liners. LPG is better for the liners, but no good for the valves......

Hi Chaps, for information,and if anyone needs any info, I have the JE Engineering Autolube and Twin LPG kit on my AJV8 -now done 130000 miles without touching the LPG system . Uses no oil, no puffs of smoke on start, and starts on the button every time but twice in 7 years -both times the battery died. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend JE . I have used it seriously on and off road as far as Ukraine and Romania and above 6500 ft in carpathian and Pyrenees . However I may be about to sell Gina for the LHD equivalent or similar as spending more time across the water these days.

Hi Sweaty, do you still come to France and Europe with the beast? Will you sell it for a LHD then?
now about CNV, did anyone else visit the dealer to check on it? is it still waiting in a hangar somewhere dying slowly or being fixed once and for all?
