    L322 4.4 V8 Low speed judder with steady amber engine warning light

    This is my first L322 so go easy on me. Mine is a 2003 4.4V8 with a BRC LPG conversion. It's done 97,000 miles. It's had an occasional 'won't change up to 4th of 5th' episode but that always clears itself. Tonight, coming back from a 108 mile round trip, mostly motorway, I noticed the amber...

    Td5 engine tuning

    Without busting the bank can anyone tell me what else I can do to give my td5 90 a bit more power. I have had my ecu chipped by Mike at Dynachip which was well worth the money and fitted one of those K & N air filters. I ask because it is not as if I am a speed freak "far from it" but there are...
