hello. Newbie to the forum here. Thanks for having me !
I acquired my 100 series a little over a year ago.
She has done 195k miles and has been a steady performer over the years apparently.
A few weeks ago she stopped firing on cylinder 1. No compression.. did a leakdown.. exhaust valves cooked (despite flashlube) or stuck open.
I have been using it on and off whilst desperately hunting for a tech to fix it for me- no takers so far - as she's lpg converted..and people are very busy!

So am I doing more damage by continuing to use it? Engine management light came on last week and I can't clear it or find out what its telling me..
She starts fine but the idle and power is below standard as you would expect so am I doing more harm ?

Thankyou!
