Hi Mr Gorsky, well, one of those days -it all took longer than expected, well, we all have them! Just about got the tank in, and as you suggested, as level as I can get it, just off dead level unfortunatley. This will require the boot floor to be packed to fit and not interfere with the tank. (...

Yes I looked at the old GEMs ecu 'box' on the battery, but thought I might need to get at the connections for the ecu so made up a bracket for it on the drivers side suspension mounting. Its quite slim and can be removed to get at the steering shaft should I have too. Other little problems were...

MrGorsky, tank spacers ordered, and I'll get to look underneath to see a prospective route! Where it gets too close to the exhaust I'll make up some heat shields.Looking forward to completing the installation - now with only the pipes, wires and tank to fit. Checked the bonnet shut clearances...

Thanks for the info - I was beginning to think that the exhaust was going to be a pain. Goes the tank have to be level? I've checked the boot floor and its out - not by a lot but not level. Not that the LED guages are accurate....

Apologies for missing that. Just a thought, as you've just got it, has the usual been done new air filter and the like? Might be worth giving the MAF a clean?

Before you remove it - see if the connections on the multiplug are all working, ours went through a phase of having the occasional 1/2 hour off and this was due to the small black and purple wire that was not making a contact within the plug. If you gave it a wiggle the pump would spring into...

Yes I've been looking forward to plugging it in - still a way off that yet. Tank end now. Looks like fun trying to manage to get the gas supply a minimum of 100mm from any exhaust pipe. Main thing is the car runs with all the bits and pieces on it, so at least the petrol side is still working...

Got to say - I don't know!, The suppliers suggested it as, I think, it'll help it self calibrate? On my system ( Bigas) it involved using one of the redundant Grey Lambda wires into another point on the gas ECU, and then running this to the OBD plug (which from the paperwork on Rave looks like...

I do the same as Saint - just a mileage check between fills. If your local MOT shop normally checks your car , why not drop it down to them and get it tested for emissions on both Petrol and Gas? The gas figures should be lower than the Petrol (cleaner burn), and if they're not.... maybe time...

MrGorsky, I have to agree with Dogsbody - nice work, you made a nice easy job of it all for me. I split the ECU yesterday and all was much clearer, managed to remove the pins from the block and connect the new wires and some heat shrink. A much neater job than I was anticipating. While I was...

Mr Gorsky, thanks for all the work you've put in. My cars got a Thor engine so I'll be taking a feed off of the 15 & 16 pins. Getting to them from the ECU is helpfull as I've got to take the RPM feed off the grey wire in that part of the loom. Is RH bank as you look at the car from the front...

Mr Gorsky, while we're talking conversions - the installation wants a connection to the lambda signal wire ( one connection for each side) do you happen to know which out of the 4 present (orange connector) is the signal lead? Thanks

We've had a recurring ABS / TF message and it always ends up with either of the front ABS leads needing doing. Last time I checked the spacing on the fixing grommets and it looked like a couple were too close to allow gentle flexing on the steering movments - gave them a tweek and as of now the...

Thanks for the info - I'll get back to the suppliers and check that the system does the same as yours.:)

Hi All, I'm about mid way through an LPG conversion on my 99, 4.6, and thought that I'd like to put an inertia switch on the feed to the ECU. Hopefully if we're unfortunate to get in a shunt, the petrol one will isolate the petrol and the gas one will shut off the gas. I've had a look at...

We've been getting between 270 - 290 miles on 80 litres of LPG on our 4.0 depending on how its driven. IMO theres little performance difference, and as I read on here, we've started putting the occasional dose of super unledded in it to help keep the injectors clean. One thing I would say, if...

Hi all, just thought I'd share a wee problem I came across. It concerns the Breather in the drivers side rocker cover. On the 4.0 (Thor) this was totally blocked, despite regular oil changes. The engine suffers from oil leaks and mayo in the filler. I've since cleaned it out and given it an oil...

Saint, sorry for the late reply, yes the PDF was fine, I had the same problem as you - whole sections of the rad were weeping. Tensioners worked out OK in the end. Used a Socket and bar on the pivot to tension them, then locked up the adjuster bolt, then pivot bolt. Easier to get the tensioners...

Cheers Saint, that makes 2 of us so I now know it wasn't just me being blind! By the way - thanks for the Rad article - using it at the moment, just thought while I was at it I'd check the pulleys.....

Thanks Saint, I'll have a look at the TD6, - can't see why the jobs not in the w/s man for the 4.4 though as the ancilliary belt is held on through the pulley and all of mine had side play in them. If you think of anything else, I'd apprieciate it.
