When it has to be taken further its months of back and forth and your TIME (its up to u to prove they are at fault and provide all details) going thru Fair Trading etc to have anything done and honestly not worth the sh*tfight involved not to mention being without a car while they take their sweet assed time.. And im also speaking of Dealer warranty VS Manufacturers warranty which in this case will have expired as more than a few years old..They know the law back the front and use it to their full advantage..And im not just talking about a faulty door lock either so IF something has ANY potential to be disputed by the mods performed expect the worst from the yard..My oldies have always bought from car yards and the money they have wasted from buying there instead of private is in the 10s of thousands over the years for absolutely nothing in return.. My point being id rather have the money in my pocket to start with and IF anything happens wear it and have it fixed myself.. Be extra careful when buying and do as many checks as possible and an independent roady by a trusted inspector is also $70 well spent..(some yards have phoneworthys done on the cheap with absolutely no inspection at all and is quite common) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puck_lindsay New Member 21 Member For: 11y 8m 11d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 18/05/14 05:20 PM Share Posted 18/05/14 05:20 PM You'd prob have to get separate tunes for LPG vs petrol, would have to reflash when switching between fuels. Not sure how many tuners would touch LPG tuning, or if changing LPG injector pulsewidth/flow would require a different controller/reg/injectors.Could maybe run both? LPG down low, petrol on boost/ other way round? Not sure if that's possible but if its injected rather than venturi mixed in it should be controlled enough to tune for?Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Flashy ad's in magazines are great but you really cant beat the old word of mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
