Thanks, there's a place in Coventry I can try. Unless anyone knows anywhere nearer to CV13 area?
The oil leak was the oil filter housing, repaired under warranty (well most of it)

Re: LPG procedure
Thanks. She's in a garage right now getting checked out - they're not an LPG specialist but do a bit of work on them. Unfortunately I think I have an oil leak so they're looking at that anyway....

Xenon lights not very good!
Hi, I've recently bought my 04 plate X5 and I have a few minor issues, one being that the xenon lights to me seen crappy! I've never had a car with xenons before but our Corsa's standard lights seem brighter! The lighting housing (if that's what its called) seems a bit dull but the lights are good ...
