Thanks for the replies guys. Have done less than 10k on gas but it runs very well, will have to look into it some more. @saintV8 - I saw that page previously...but saw this as well: http://www.motuk.co.uk/images/non_cat.pdf Though like you said if it has cats as standard that's how it gets...

Hey folks, Quick question about MOT emissions testing for an MOT. Was expecting it to fly through being on LPG but it struggled to pass, was originally reading about 1% CO and between 300 and 500 on the HC. After a bit of reading it looks like the tester should have put it on the analyser as a...

Sunroof might be a bit of a pain in the ass if it leaks, but I'd not be without one!

Mine runs the same as Saints...90 litre tank, holds 75 litres and does about 250 on a tank. Average 15.6 mpg over last 7k miles with a good mix of steady motorway miles and hooning around country lanes. Mine switches at 62degrees iirc, takes about 5 mins to get to temperature. The filters on my...

Was there any damage to the crank sensor? Any movement in the sensor housing? Not likely but had this on mine and it was a real pain to identify. Just something else for a checklist is the ring gear on the flywheel, with the access plate on the front of the bell housing removed crank the engine...

My other toy, not had much use this year though! :(

Similar issue on mine, how tricky is it to replace the lock motor? any snag points?

Vac line replaced, still don't work! :confused: Will go back to the RAVE troubleshooting and maybe see if I can pick up another ecu and inverter at some point.

Still need to fine tune the calibration on mine (diy job), but I get around 16.5mpg on gas with the computer reading about 20mpg...It'll drop to 13.5 if I hoon around. Got a 95 litre tank in mine, holds about 75 litres and I get around 275 miles on tank. Think you should take it back to where...

Just thought I'd add my tuppence worth on an old post in case anyone else reads this thread mid-job (like I did an hour ago! :D). I didn't have any decent kind of hooks available so just used a metal coat hanger to pull the top R clip out, didn't need to remove the wheel liner to get at...

I guess to rule it out I should replace the vac line from the brake pedal then! :) Will measure the internal diameter and order up some silicon vac lines. I can remember checking the connection to the brake pedal but the pipe seemed on there pretty tight and hard to get a good look at it, is...

Lots of good advice on here, sounds like your making good progress with diagnosis at least. Hopefully the diagnostics will put you on the right track. Had a similar issue with mine, though the revs would flutter in neutral. But under power there was major power loss and backfiring. Turned out...

Cheers for the replies folks. It worked originally, but on and off. So when it stopped working I assumed it was electrical rather than mechanical. One of the hoses was well worn at the end so I trimmed it back, this was quite a while ago though. The pipes all seem good now with no noticeable...

Hey folks, Had some issue with the cruise control not working but left it alone as I wasn't using it that much. Doing quite a bit more driving and missing the cruise control a lot. I went through the electronic troubleshooting in RAVE and all seemed good apart from the wheel rotation test...

Is it running on LPG or just petrol?
