Not so sure on that mate. Maybe more so than petrol or diesel but you are still burning dead dinosaurs. I think the government should give proper tax benefits for using sustainable bio fuel's like vegetable oil or bio-ethanol. There is only a limited supply of LPG just like other fossil fuels.

the emissions are a tiny fraction of what the other two spill out, particularly the noxious stuff. Particulates(often blamed for asthma in kids are down 99.9%). plus, at the moment we only use about 25% of teh LPG that is released during the pumping of oil. the rest is burnt off at the rig. Surely making use of this would be an environmentally friendly option i.e. making full use of what we reap. I agree that bio fuels should be getting far more publicity and push by teh gov but teh oil co's ahve a big lobby at westminster

welllllllll it turned out that the ignition barrel was fine adn it was the switch behind that

which i didnt know existed until now! it was toyota blackburn that seen the prob etc and replaced it. £98 which i was surprised about i was expecting the damage to b more.

i took it to belgrave but a) he said he was really busy b) i had to get hold of the part myself. (when i thought it was the ignition barrel) it was from there that i foned up toyota to get hold of the barrel that the guy on the other side said it neednt be the barrel but the switch that needs replacing quoting the barrel at £200 and switch close to £50. so i decided to just take it htere...
