LPG Range Rovers.

Make sure it's on one piece!!

Just round the corner from me, a guy had an LPG range rover... HAD. it was on the front page of the local rag yesterday, with all the body panels missing, totally burned out with the roof struts and side structure bent up and out. apparently he'd been welding on it... with a full tank of lpg and a full tank of petrol. Quote from next door neighbour - "It went up like a bomb"

Tailgate. Who carried the LPG work out, make sure e.g. the gas tank straps are substantial!

Any money the exhaust is blowing form the down pipe. Knock him down on that

top of the front wings, where steel meets aluminium...

Make sure all the electrics are working, rear cross member and general chassis. Take a look at the footwells, also prone.

Auto with leather are worth more too.

Good luck!

Check to make sure it runs okay both on petrol and on gas some will run fine on petrol but wibblepoo on gas, some will run fine on gas and wibblepoo on petrol.
Make sure the conversion has been if not fitted professionally then at least inspected after fitting you will need the certificate for your insurance.
Most of the common systems will start on petrol and then the first time the revs have gone above 1500 and then dropped below it will switch over to gas you shouldnt notice any difference in the running when it does this idle should be around same and it should be smooth.
Its gotta have the right heat spark plugs and you have to use good quality silicon leads to make sure you get a good spark. If it doesnt have a good spark then it will run like a bag of wibblepoo on gas and ok on petrol.
Some systems only switch onto gas when they are warm. The problem with these is that at this time of year and with having a mechanical fan they don't get upto temperature especially if you only do short runs so you spend all your time on petrol.
Where are the tank/tanks at if they are in the boot they are normally 80-100 litres if they are underneath then they are often 60 litres. Problem with the gas tanks is that you can only get them around 80% full so with a 60 litre tank you will only get around 45 litres in so at 10mpg on gas thats only 100mile And depending on the pressure at a gas station I have known it take anywhere upto 15 minutes to fill a 100 litre tank They not normally that bad around 5 to seven minutes is the norm.
It pays to get the gas system serviced once a year.
If the gas systems ok then its just normal Range Rover problems rust everywhere, saggy headlinings, front wheel shimmy from badly adjusted preload, diff slap (unless its an auto). Oil leaks in most places check diff pans for rust gearbox for leaks transfer box for leaks and noise particularly if its a chain drive one make sure all oil levels in all of these are okay. Centre diffs if they are the viscous ones have a tendency to stiffen up and then permanently lock the diff, not good.
Get a good one and they are mint get a bad one and if you are paying someone else to do the work they aint nice

Mine did 17,000 mile in one year and apart from having to put a front diff in just after I bought it , it needed nothing apart from normal servicing.

And there are not many other vehicles that will do 80 -90 mph up witton bypass with tonycocacola`s 5 series bmw on a trailer behind it
