I have an NM Pajero that has done 175000km. I put it on gas about 3 years ago - injected, the dearer option - by LPGAS1 in Lilydale.

Last weekend I was driving and I heard a large explosion and then a flapping-type noise - very strange. The car had never missed a beat and has never missed a service.

Had to arrange a tow-truck and, to cut a very long story short, I had blown a sparkplug out of the head.

My mechanic said he hadn't seen this sort of thing very often - less than a handful of times - but in every case, the car was on gas. I'm unsure about keeping the car now, have lost a bit of confidence. My mechanic suggested only running it on petrol.

Has anyone heard of anything similar and what do you think about the longevity of the motor now?
