I've known issues when the battery is a bit on the flat side with that, though its usually a sign of an iffy sensor. Likely it will get worse and throw an error to give you something to go on if it keeps doing it.

Probabbly Faro or similar polypipe - its much easier to route than the copper stuff is, you just need the ends to mate it to whatever its going to.

Figured as much with the tank contents, Could use it on the BBQ if you can mate it to a suitable regulator, but you'd be using it for some time (and still have to get it out of the car to do so). If its a single hole type tank, you could remove the solenoid post and use the manual shutoff instead as an alternative to feeding the solenoid.

Also depends how old it is - they are supposed to be tested after 10 years, if thats a concern to someone, then the tank is effectively scrap (And a pain to get rid of). If its fairly within test and not rusty (externally mounted ones suffer in this respect) it should be saleable, though what you'd get for it is very much down to luck. It may also help its value if you have the tank certificate (which would say the test date, though that should be stamped on the tank as well it may not be visibile once its been installed)

You say your going to remove it - if its still installed, is there a good reason why your not using up the lpg in the tank first? It would make it easier to deal with as it would reduce the weight of the tank. Or is it only partly installed now and not possible to do so?

It might be worth seeing if Simon (LPGC) shows any interest though I'd guess he would have already been in touch if it was.

There is definitely a bearing in the older Series axles, as I remember having to source one for a Series IIA that had more water than oil in the front axle, and of course the bearing was completely rusted as a result. Not sure the same setup is on the P38, and the parts list doesn't show anything obvious either. I don't recall seeing one in the D2 when we had the driveshafts out to do the balljoints.

If you don't get any takers on here, try https://www.lpgforum.co.uk/

It might help to say where you are, as anyone interested in the tank would need to pick it up as well.

I think from what was said, that the detachable towball was going for around £50. Not sure if the same ball fits multiple models (I've never had a detachable towball, only fixed ones) but this is on a Range Rover Sport 2013.

It seems the detachable towballs also have a bit of a black market going on, Someone I know has now lost 2 as whilst they lock in place, the key is the same for all of them. He had been leaving it installed on the car whilst shopping and come back to find its been pinched twice now. Replacements sourced from facebook marketplace (probabbly sourced from supermarket car parks at a guess). After having 2 the 3rd one is now welded to a piece of chain which is bolted to the towbar, defeating the point of having the detachable towhitch in the first place. I'd have though the easy solution was to remove the hitch when not in use, but that seemed too simple a solution for him!

Neat looking took there Clive, looks like it could be useful for many jobs actually.

Agree on the rattle gun comment - Access would be the issue, we have a couple of different ones, the Ryobi battery one is a bit bulkier than the air line one, but I don't doubt either would be capable of knocking the bolt loose, Doubt you'd do so with any manual tool as you'd just turn the pulley rather than loosen the bolt I'd expect.

Hopefully this will work here

Full album here > https://1drv.ms/u/s!AigNPuwBlwA-i881RoEkgl8tY4b3Jw?e=g42Vfy Includes measurements.

The pulley is threaded with 2 m8 threads, so you can bolt the tool to it.

Welding is a bit rough on this as it was done with a welder that wasn't working as well as it should have been, but you should get the general idea of what you need. The larger hole needs to be big enough to clear the washer on the pulley, the smaller one you need to make to suit your socket for the pulley. 47 and 34mm respectively should be fine from the measurements taken today. Overall diameter of the bit to fit inside pulley can be 94mm, the distance between the inside edges of the 2 bolt holes comes in a 67.77 mm (you have a bit of play here as it only had to allow you to get a bolt into the holes in the pulley)

As said, he made this with access to a pulley as access on the car was just too difficult to do much else (brought another pulley off eBay).

I've not been that far into the engine as your looking at, but we did have the front pulley off mine (I think in the process of fixing an oil leak if I remember correctly). When it was done my mate made up a tool to hold that pulley so we could undo the bolt. You might get it to come off with an impact wrench if it doesn't matter that the engine turns a bit otherwise, I've done that on a few pulleys though usually when they are on the aux belt where timing isn't an issue.

I will take a photo of what he made, that worked ok, though we did have another spare pulley to make the tool up with which helped!

You really need to try getting a decent photo of all 4 wheels to stand much chance of getting a sale, all of yours are good for detail but don't show enough to grab much interest.

If you can get a pic of all 4 next to each other, it makes it much clearer for anyone browsing that its a set.

I believe you will find AdBlue is injected into the exhaust post combustion, so can't see how it would improve MPG directly. Indirectly by removing the need to regenerate a DPF it might make some difference though overall.

If its the Klarius ones, I've not been too impressed with their bits generally. Your lucky if they even fit properly half the time without major messing around.

With the only place that has had reasonably regular supplies in my area at 79.9ppl, that's about the same as my 4.0 litre V8!

Its not far off mine either (I suspect the p38 performs slightly better than the Disco 2 fuel ecnoomy wise!), was only using it as my usual vehicle was out of action due to a failed clutch.

When I've ended up in your area, I've always tried to use the Asda at York, the other handful of places round there were generally a lot more expensive. Even Birmingham which usually has cheap lpg is more expensive now, though maybe that will improve with time, can only hope!

That said, it cost me £52 to do 267 miles in a 1.9 diesel in the last couple of weeks (not a Range rover obviously) so its not like theres much choice in it.

Have a feeling that it may be as simple as the sensor in there, uses a different thread between the two covers. I seem to remember looking into this for some reason. You might get away with the matching sensor for the cover.

It seems to have got a lot better over the last week. Some cheap places still out there - Sainsburys Watford currently 62.9 for example. All of the local ones that I've driven past have stock today, not that there is so many of them now. But prices varying widely from 62.9 to 99.9 currently here

Brian, thanks for the link. I must admit I gave up on the lpg forum as it was impossible to register again.

If you are still having problems either getting into your account, or registering an account please say so - May be able to assist. I've dropped you a pm on there now, so that might give you an idea of your email address used to register.

Having seen the 35 mile range on petrol issue, its no wonder those taxi drivers aren't happy having paid for an expensive conversion via the Autogas brand, for them to only go and shut down barely 18 months later. At least most conversions keep the petrol tank as it was, and now its clear why!

Long thread about it here on the LPG forum

https://www.lpgforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=125674#p125674

It finally seems to be getting signs of going back to normal - The local Shell hadn't had any since early february and has just been refilled today for the first time.

I gather some of the issue is the amount of time they are waiting to offload at whatever port it comes in on.

Filllpg is better with the app than the website, the site is not working well and thats unlikely to be something that improves from what the other Richard has said (no time to sort it)

Could be worse - Diesel is even more expensive, filling the tank on my backup vehicle with Pay@pump needs two hits on the card as it only lets you have £99 at a go. £126 to fill a tank that had slightly less than 1/4 left

Unfortuantely those are set to private, so you can view them with that link, but noone else can!
