    put 20 liters in the other day, paid just a tenner. I used to use premium unleaded so for me works out more than half the price Going for 160 mile rounds trip in couple of days, will see how much fuel it uses compared to petrol.

      Nice feeling when the fuel costs go down. All running well?

        No need to feel guilty for driving her like she was meant to she runs fine, same as on petrol, still getting adaptation error on idle though, but I will speak to people who will do safety test whether they can calibrate it, as I won't have time for next couple of month.

          I had a look, and noise seems to be coming from steering rack, can it be the damper on the rack? Oil level is as it should be.

            Get a friend and let him put hands on suspected elements. Should determine the culprit via vibrations. Not 100% though.

              After fitting lpg I can barely see the rack but that's a good idea, I'll try and get my hand in there

                    Car seems to be a bit slow to boost up, could it be N75? She boosts to 2.4bar eventually, but just takes time. Used to be a tad punchier

                      Boost leak or maybe n75

                        I forgot my boost testing hose in London, but I doubt it's boost leak. Just feels like something is slow to react is there a safe way of test if it's N75?

                          Have you a good boost gauge in the car? There is one way to test but you must be very careful. Disconnect the N75 pipe that feeds the wastgate and plug it. Go for a drive and in a high gear at low rpm goto wot. Look at the boost gauge and make sure it doesn't go to high. You Have no boost control so boost will come on fast. See if it responds faster than with the N75 connected. Lift of throttle to control boost.

                          Be careful...

                            Don't have a boost gauge ( I know) I'll try it and be very careful, I'm sure I will feel the difference.

                            Thanks

                              No more horrible squealing, it turned out to be the steering dumper. It was in such a bad state I'm surprised it stayed this quite for this long

                                What about finding the sluggishness. Any luck on that front?
