hello all...
Finally the dreaded tin worm and the rigors of living in the alps killed my beloved '93' 200 tdi disco... but after a suitable time of mourning, i've bought her replacement...
with visions of awesome/endless grunt, a beautiful v8 grumbleing away and enjoying mile after mile of cheap fuel, ive bought a '95' 300 3.9 v8 disco complete with Millenium single point lpg system...
and thats where the problems started!!!
:doh::doh::doh::doh:
on petrol, she starts, drives and behaves as you'd expect, smooth and powerful, a little high on the tick-over (1000rpm), but perfectly behaved in all aspects. but when i turn her to lpg,(normally with-in minutes, but i drove it the other day for over 3 hours) she will blow either the ignition/coil fuse on the lpg system or no3/engine management fuse with the added bonus of going into 'limp mode' staying that way for an hour or so (if i've parked her) or untill i disconnect the batt to reset the ecu!!!
not being lpg proficient/not knowing a whole lot about lpg, i've done what i can to trace the wiring. looking for earthed out, bad connections and general shoddy wiring to the lpg systems but so far nothing seems to be obvious or have any effect...
so thats me stumped, does anyone have a good working knowledge of lpg systems??
can you point me in the right direction of potential common faults/problems or does anyone (near the south wales/pontypool area but i don't mind travelling) want to earn some money, respect and eternal gratitude or know where can i take her (lpg specialist in south wales) to get the problem diagnosed...
i can't take her back to the alps like this, so it's cure or sell.... i can't climb up mountains paying v8 petrol prices!!!!
