Excellent advice, thanks again. Must admit looks wise I'm leaning towards a cherokee and for the amount of miles I will be doing in it wondering if LPG is a necessity.
The hunt is on.... I've emailed a chap near me in Bristol with a green cherokee for £1500 that is on ebay so will see how it pans out...
If you're near Brizzle I'm more than happy to have a look see. No expert, but have a rough idea as to what to look for. The hunt is on.... I've emailed a chap near me in Bristol with a green cherokee for £1500 that is on ebay so will see how it pans out...

You do, but as I said above, you can get it done retrospectively. You just need it inspecting, and as long as it's been installed correctly, you'll get the certificate.
Well, actually, slight point of order, you don't get a certificate anymore, it just gets added to the LPG register.

Hi folks,
Thought I would update you, after some headscratching I bought a 4.0 p38 lpg from eBay yesterday, have covered 500 miles so far and touch wood all is well.
It has a bulging history which shows in the last two years, 4 air sacks, compressor, exhaust, all fluids changed regularly, serviced majoritively at main dealers and even better 40k or so ago a main dealer engine and gearbox exchange.
The only negative (which I knew about was the display on the air on screen, there is some of the LCD missing so I'll look into that.
Fingers crossed chaps
Oh it cost £1300 sept mot (no advisories) and has a multi point lpg system

Thanks for the update, its always much more satisfying when the OP returns to inform us of the outcome.... Thought I would update you, after some headscratching I bought a 4.0 p38 lpg from eBay yesterday, have covered 500 miles so far and touch wood all is well.

Good luck with the P38 - I get the feeling itll bend you over sooner rather than later, but for your sake I hope I am wrong

Good man! I have a late p38 and its great, over 2 years and no major probs, the air suspension works perfect, climate control perfect in fact all electrics apart from the cruise control which has packed up recently, looked at all the common faults and have replaced the ecu and relay and checked all the pipe work but I think it is the steering wheel ribbon as I hear a little crunch occasionally (No srs light though). You really do get a lot of car for the money, electric everything, 12 speaker stereo (if you have the sub woofer) and it sounds fantastic, lovely V8 which also sounds fantastic. The fuel consumption is the only down side but you get used to it.

Unlucky. Download the EAS Unlock software and get a cable. There's a chap on Landyzone in the Range Rover section who makes and sells them very cheaply - the software is free.
Or ask on that forum - someone close to you might already have the software or a tool you could borrow - they're very helpful.
