RobG I am guessing you are right, just found a picture of the headgasket and it looks like there is a water channel very close to number 4 pot. With it being that close I think a skim is in order as a couple of thou distortion would lead to it going again

Haven't done a compression test, but then again you can often get a good reading even with a failing gasket. From the amount of bubbling in the header tank I am guessing it has blown between the fire ring of one pot and a water gallery

Well I have just had a look at this for cube and there is a lot of pressure in the cooling system and a distinct smell of exhaust fumes in the header tank, so unless these engines have an egr cooler which I dont think they do I am putting my money on it being the head gasket. Just need to find somewhere near Bradford to get it skimmed

Go and find out what kit they are fitting and if single point or sequential multi point and let me know. I suspect at that price it will be single point with a vaporiser on the induction side rather than individual injectors in the manifold. Nothing wrong with single point, just a slight drop in mpg from my experience. To give you an idea our van does 18mpg round town on petrol but 16mpg on gas, of course the cheaper fuel offsets that easily and the price difference on our van was £1000 for the single point and £1800 for the sequential multi point.

Ours was fitted by these guys, http://www.ozonlpg.com/ bit far out but they are highly recommended

If you are going to DIY buy the Iwema http://www.iwemalpg.com/, best bit of DIY kit in my experience and comes with a certificate to show the insurers if needed (though in all the years I have used multi fuel vehicles I have never been asked once).
