I have just bought a 3.0i x5 which has got an lpg gas kit fitted,i drove it back on gas around 60 miles it drove well but noticed later that the engine fault light was on (emmision control) i have heard that this can come on when driving on LPG but thought i would ask if anybody else has had or know anything about this,thanks Dale i have also got a pixel problem on milage part display any ideas or fixes welcome ??

Hi Dale,
yes that can happen but then you need to have it reset, i have a peake reset tool. After about 1000mile or so with the lpg, the car electronics should adjust to it and the fault light should go out. Had the same with my 4.4 after he convertion, but its adjusted well.

regards.

Hi, Have a 4.4i with LPG (GREAT IN'IT)they will keep throwing up engine warning up even after reset after a while you will get used to it being on and carry on regardless just think of the money your saving..... As for the pixel problem there are DIY cleaning instructions if you look in the forum if your feeling brave or replace the fascia for about £200 !

My 4.4 was converted to lpg 2 years ago,well pleased, but that light keeps coming on after reset and I don't worry anymore.
I may even open up the instrument panel and see if there is a bulb in there(then ditch it). I have already been in and fitted the insrument rings
so have no fear of doing this.
