We've had the vehicle from a dealer in July 2005 with an extended warranty:cool: (another 4 months to go), and had it LPG converted about 2 years ago. We've had no engine problems till recently when the engine started stalling when the foot was taken off the accelerator. Usually the rev counter will rapidly home into the tickover speed of 750 rpm. However, the revs when taking your foot off the accelerator will now drop to 500rpm and the engine will either stall or recover. (Can be a bit dangerous when approaching give way signs and the engine cuts out along with all power to steering and brakes!!!!:w00t::cool:). After a couple of hours investigation the local LR dealership declared the problem to be related to the gas conversion. After 4 days of meticulously going over the gas conversion the LPG garage are unable to find any fault with the gas conversion and are suggesting we go back to the LR people to see what they say. They do confirm that the engine is cutting out.

Googling Landrover D3 stall, does bring up one or two other people with similar issues in vehicles not gas converted.

Anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions on how to approach the LR dealership.

Thanks

Andy

Does it kick the EML on at all or does that stay out ? Mine's very sensitive poor thing, pops the light on at the first sign of anything wayward. Sadly it seemed to put it on more when it's running on petrol than gas, having had it investigated by LR they found it running lean when on petrol, since they sorted that out it's been fine.

Who fitted the LPG conversion out of interest and how many miles has it done since being done ?

Out of interest, who converted yours ? I'm only getting about 15mpg out of my RRS on LPG at the moment....

As for the stalling saga. The landrover dealership couldn't find out what the problem was and reckoned that it needed a new ECU which would not be covered under the warranty as we had had it converted to gas:w00t:, so we took it back to the gas installers who fixed a slight leak & tuned it up. It was still stalling so they ran it on petrol for 50miles coz they thought that the ECU had learned this bad habit. When we picked it up they only charged us for the petrol they put in, £30. They had even given us a courtesy car & a load of gas so that we could go home, because they needed it for a lot longer than originally thought.

We spoke to the landrover dealership who told us that for the ECU to kick this bad habit we would have to wait 3 weeks. It's been fine and all it cost was fuel to get to Durham, and £30.:satisfied:
