I said it needed deeper investigation to inspect the lack of compression that I cured most of and it drove away better but I couldn't do a full diag or fix properly whilt working on my drive at home in the dark.
Fact of the matter is, debris had gone into engine, #3 plug was crossed and I repaired thread and it ran better after cleaning out valve seats. I couldn't do more. Glad it's sorted thogh! About time you had good luck

Hi Amar,

What a result mate! So chuffed for you.

Sure you wanna sell it now? Surely it's the best of both worlds with low tax (relatively), lpg (is this still connected?) and the performance of an S8?

Thanks,

Oli

PS - good going on the admin control mike...ben deserves to have his reputation kept intact after our experiences with him and all the great work he's done. Wish you all the best at Revo ben and i'll be in touch very soon to have my front brakes fitted.

Thanks Oli, it is a good combo, 23MPG very consistently now! Last night I got out of bed and went for a late night spin.. Took the MPG down a lot!
