Hi,

anybody done their own 'servicing' by means of reading off the LPG ECU and doing any changes themselves? If so - is it easy to do or shall I leave it to the experts? I do have basic experience of car tuning etc so appreciate the importance of getting values right etc

Me:

Etagas Tartarini
Zavoli
BRC
some OMVL 5.0 supercharged autobiography
Gone-4.4 Vogue Lpg now unmapped
4.6 HSET Turbo Lpg mapped
Gone-Defender 90 200tdi
Gone - 3.9 Sprintex supercharged LPG
Gone - 3.9 Vogue LPG

Mine is an EMR one

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but what's the deal with buying a LPG'd car without any certification? Is there anything obvious to look for, or is it best avoided? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Do you mean EMER?

The question is, why hasn't it got one...

If it's been lost, not a problem as it will have been recorded on the LPGA website...

If it never had one then was it a DIY install and if it was does it comply with LPGA guidelines...

Get it checked by a registered installer, he will asses the install and can issue a certificate there and then if it's OK...

Checked the LPGA website, it's not recorded there, so I guess it was a DIY job. That then raises the question of wether it was fitted correctly of not.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Yeah I did the same.

The quality of the install send to suggest otherwise .... It looks to be a good job cosmetically :-/

I'll get the LPG service bods to check it and add to the database

Same for me,check if the previous owner was on a private plate, then check that reg

Your insurance company may need a certificate before they insure the vehicle. Also it may not be registered with the DVLA as a dual fuel vehicle. Which means you won't get the cheaper road tax.

I did check and they've not requested one as yet.

And I thought all you got was a £10 reduction on the tax? If it's more I might get things done faster

Insurance companies only usually ask for the cert if you make a claim, if you haven't got one they won't pay for any LPG bits and may refuse the whole claim, not many ask for it when you take out the insurance.

RFL is only £10 cheaper so not much benefit there... Pete

Any reduction no matter how small should be snatched from the government at the first opportunity as a matter of principal.
