Our workshop specialises in RR & Bentley,& we have a couple Turbos on gas that developed similar faults.Gas experts have looked at them & found no faults,recommending decokes instead-not surprisingly the customers have learnt to live with it!

sounds like cold weather,does it start ok on lpg then dies after 1/2 mile? if it does pop open the bonnet and see if the lpg regulator is iced up, because the mercs have a pump for the climate control this sucks all the hot water into the cabin and none goes to the lpg regulator, I found when the weather is below 5 degree you have to run it on petrol for the first 2 miles or turn the heating off for a bit.

IVE SEEN THESE SYMPTOMS ON LPG CARS BEFORE, TURNED OUT EVERY TIME TO BE AIRMASS FAULTY, USE A GENUINE OR BOSCH ONE,
