If the Engine management light doesn't come on briefly with the ignition key on then this is a sign that the Becm and Engine ecu are not security matched or the inertia switch has triped. It is in the drivers right footwell panel. You will see the hinged flap with a fuel symbol on it. Press the...

Most of the P38 start issues I see, are following a flat battery. There are a few things to check. Is it petrol or diesel. Does the central locking work off the fob. When the battery goes flat it can scramble or damage the becm logic board processor. It's like winding down the voltage on your...

What is logical about the injectors until you have checked the glow plug circuit. Glow plug control Fault isn't showing on the diagnostic kit for the fun of it.

That sounds like you have a wiring fault around the gearbox and the water is creating a short. Look at the back of the gearbox and check the gray multi plug. Most of the ones i see are either broken or have been smashed off their bracket. Also check down the passenger side of the box at the gear...

It is very hard to take your blinkers off when looking at a fault. The code reader reported the glow plug control module so it is very very unlikely your engine is burning oil or that any injectors are faulty. The more likely cause is that 1 or more cylinders are cold on start up. You get the...

No problem at all. Hope it all goes smooth for you. :)

Yep that’s right. If your conversion costs are £1500 - £2000, then that’s a lot of petrol. That said doing 18-29 mpg it doesn’t take long at all. Its a diificult one. You have also got the advantage of not braking into a cold sweat on long journeys in fact LPG enables you to take a range rover...

That’s right the white wires are the trigger wires from coil 1 and coil 5 both on pin 1 of each coil. You can use either. When probed with a voltmeter they will show 12 volts but if you switch to Hertz or Rmp you will then get a sensible trigger reading.

That’s good advice but I always find someone always knows someone who’s had a bad conversion and a bad experience. With LPG installations it’s down to the install. If you have some yoyo throw a kit on and not set it up right and it runs lean, then the engine starts running hot. Couple this with...

They are telling pork pies. It only cuts the injectors on over run not the coils. The coil connection works perfect. With your dream kit you dont need a multiplier either the software does it for you.

What kit are you fitting because you can normally take a feed off the trigger side of a coil and then use the settings in the gas software to tell it what rpm source you are using.

I don't I’m afraid, but here is a good source of information. You can find a registered installer near you with the search facility LPG Autogas - the greener, cleaner and cheaper fuel alternative

Sorry I forgot to say, the test must be done cold unless you pull the coolant temp connector off which forces the glow plug control to think it’s very cold. Going with what Adamrharding said it could well be the coolant temp sensor. Also check or replace the vacuum pipe that goes from the inlet...

Disconnect both the Battery positive lead and Earth lead from the battery. Touch both the leads together for 10-20 seconds. This discharges all the retained voltage in all the ECU’s. It’s like powering your desktop computer off and resetting it. Leave the Leads disconnected. Now...

That sounds like your idle air valve. With the engine running and the box in neutral look at what revs are showing on the dash. With your foot on the brake select drive, do the revs increase at all or does the engine cut out. You can take idle air valve out and clean the nozzle, also clean the...

If the fault is that intermittent, can you get your hands on a test light. When the motor will not start put your test lamp between an earth and the connection on the end of a glow plug. It may be the 12 volt supply from the glow plug control unit failing. If your test lamp lights up when...

They only overheat when they have a sloppy install. You have to make sure you have a top of the range injected system. Buy a cheap one and say good bye to your motor. Things like fitting steel T pieces to water pipes prevents so many issues. The high temperatures under the bonnet constantly...

The Rpm is worked out by the Engine ecu and then transmitted over the can network to the instrument cluster, transmission ect. Have you got a fault or are you playing with LPG

Your welcome, Glad to see you got a result. Cheers

On a P38 you do not need a security card or more than 1 key. When you connect a new battery press the left button on your fob then put the key in the lock and turn to the left. if central locking doesn’t actuate press the right button on your fob, then put the key in the lock and turn to the...
