Lower tailgate is solid, upper tailgate is pretty shagged along the

Runs great on LPG above 1200RPM, once dropping to idle it dies. but
starts OK again on petrol, reckon because of jams I did the return
journey on about 30% petrol. Autobox shifts OK. Paid over the odds at
Halfords because the proper factors close early round here, but I got
plugs, leads, and dizzy cap, off the shelf without ordering.
Front seats adjust properly on electrics. Leather is a little cracked
but not ripped. Good feed will sort that.

Just be prepared to walk away from the Rangie if it's sheddier than B&Qs shed department. Rough, but solid, not a bad drive, but no gocart, but I expected that |
Bought the plugs and leads, because it drives on, but won't idle on LPG.
Going to fit them tomorrow and find out how to adjust the Kargas
regulator.

big difference when it's on gas.
Plugs, leads etc your best place would have been LR Spares in Speke.

I fancy putting them in tomorrow, unless I find that I'm going to need 3
arms to do one side or anything else equally silly.
You ever worked on a Kar-Gas system?

Oh, by the way, plugs are easy..
Call me if you need a hand, I might be able to get my hands on an LPG
reading Co2 meter (well, it's in Warrington), and I've got the HBoL for the
Strangie.
