    LPG playing up - anyone help ?

    Most likely one of the solenoid valves - one on the tank outlet, one in the engine bay just before the vaporiser unit. Locate them, then disconnect the wires and test them with a 12 volt supply direct. If they click ok, check you have 12 volts coming down your supply wires! Guessing you have...

    Fuel stop solenoid question

    Heres one for the electrical specialists among you wise folk. Mate's 110 TDI died the other day. Quick check showed fuel shut-off solenoid was not getting power when the ignition was on. Traced the fault back to the engine compartment multi-pin plug on the bulkhead, where the pin had broken...

    lpg problems

    back to the subject in hand....... I'd check the operation of the 2 solenoid valves in the supply line. If its cutting out immediately you change over to gas, then chances are, no gas is reaching the manifold. Should be an electric solenoid valve where the supply line comes outta the tank and...

    3.5 V8 EFI trouble

    Have you tried reseting the fuel shut-off solenoid? Its designed to shut the fuel supply off in the event of a shunt. In a post '95 model, its under the bonnet behind the washer resevoir. Earlier models had it under the drivers dash, left of the steering column. Press the rubber tit on top...

    Disco V8/LPG or 300TDi

    Far as I know its not a legal requirement for certification, neither is it law that systems have to be checked by approved installers every few years, but if you want to get the V5 changed to dual fuel and save £15 on yer tax disc, you need the proof its been done. If its a DIY job, most...
