Two different mechanics have had my car for a few weeks between them. The second one for 11 days. He's the one that knows about LPG. He found a cracked plastic inlet manifold that would let air get sucked in causing issues. My issues being that it stops working sometimes. As in driving down the road and it stops working, not a nice feeling.

I drove it from Beenleigh to Redland bay. Driving through Mt Cotton ( Valley Way so most about 3/4 of the journey completed ) and it starts to cease working again. It kinda stopped about 7 times.

I messaged both mechanics. The LPG bloke apologised and said it's probably the "stepper" motor. ( Something to do with the LPG system ) Drop it back and he will fix it. Oh yeah great. I looked it up and it can be a $35 part. Like fuck dude it's in for some intermittent issue, and after getting it back and the intermittent issue persists, why not change that part in the first place !?!?

Jan, I am not happy.

Thursday it is. Wooooo
