Ok these are going to a team vote in the morning so last chance for a submission!

tools! then goes and stands behind it….fool!

😀

😆
brilliant!

Quick question:

Does the voltage going to the fuel pump relate to the fuel flow and hence the air/fuel mix, eg. higher voltage-pump faster-richer mix?

Or is the flow regulated else where?

Reason I ask is I have had problem with a relay where there is an input from the Petrol ECU and the LPG ECU with one of the outputs definately going to the fuel pump.
The output melted previously and was rewired…now could be me going crazy or I can here it click twice when pulling away/stopping

These are really good keep it up folks!

I don’t think we will be allowed to use ghengis though, something to do with killing the most people in history(!)

more more!

should have gone the udder way

flip….a potential sponsor?

pic 2 looks bad enough to ask for replacement i’d say….its only going to get worse quick!

Genghis Carnage

hmm il have a look at mine, wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same, the anodizing(?) is fairly thin and fair enough if the rub when spinning/truing

not had this particular part of any of my cars go wrong yet so no cause to learn about it

So true, If anyone ever need help with CV joints i’m a pro, but otherwise….not a clue.

Thanks for all you help guys, I will go and sweet talk an expert when I get chance.

nope hasn’t been replaced as far as I know, would that share some symptoms of my problem?

Spigot

are you insulting me or is this a technical term? 😀

and define ate itself?

I was going to just ignore it until it got worse due to money 🙁

Funny you would say that…

The clutch(?) has recently started ‘clunking’ when I bring the clutch pedal back up while driving?

hmmm true it runs perfectly smooth above 2000rpm regardless of load etc

just googled it…I can only hope it turns out to be something easy to sort like this!

bikerdan what is a coil pack?

It has this problem on BOTH petrol and LPG

I have no idea at all which LPG system is fitted other than it is impossible to find ECU replacements for. I no it is not a fancy multiport systems just a condenser/blows into the intake. It has been on the van for 5 years i think.

It has probably never been serviced, and it looks like it has been wired by a half drunk monkey….having said that up until now it has been extremely reliable and the LPG switch over is always instant and responsive on the throttle.

So would you guys recommend going to my local garage or an LPG specialist first?

trail rat…good point:
Last time it was in the garage for the MOT they refitted an engine mount but somehow it started only running on 3 cylinders while they were working on it. The mechanic told me that the wiring on the ECU was damaged and he resoldered part of the board which sorted the problem.

Could this be related?

It sounds like I need to see a specialist?

Or can most garages handle this sort of problem?

Hey thanks for the reply:

The ‘quack’ is only on cold start, apparently a sticky starter motor…I am not too worried about it.

Yes the LPG system is definitely shoddy and badly wired.

The ‘pop’ is when in Petrol or LPG but never at high revs, only at low revs when accelerating.

I will try disconnecting the battery and reset.

At low rpm, the engine needs more fuel to be added when you open the throttle quickly (for various complicated reasons i won’t go into here) and too little extra fuel (called acceleration enrichment) results in a lean spike and in bad cases (AFR > ~ 16:1) misfires.

How is this solved?

And what is a vacuum pipe, are they small diameter rubberish type houses?

Thanks guys, the plugs have only been in 6 months.
I would say on the ignition ends they are a nice light brown dusting.

The ‘upper/outer’ ends are a little greasy (especially in 1 and 2) with a thick dried on something.

yes you need one for softer metal parts you don’t want to rip to shreds…

Yep love this place….keep it up folks

possibly way cheaper and easier to loose the 200-300g(?) by changing your tyres to something single ply?

mailed you matt!

Ha…yeah thats my problem but thanks fueled.

no_eyed_dear, good to know that is my official last resort 😆

Yeah seat61 was very helpful but didn’t have a full solution sadly.

I arrive on Thursday and need to train that weekend so would imagine would be fairly booked up if left that late.

What.a ball ache!

Crisslater- can you link to some of these startup loans please?

Interesting thread

The Invincible Hilux!

Good choice sir

Alpha…..brilliant! Il be using that later

I need roughly 3600 per month spoke wise,

good idea on the reversing

anyone heard of spokesave.co.uk?

Thanks guys will get in touch with them

anyone want to sell me some finned pads? mail in profile 😀

bah….i’d say that ‘film’ was a borderline documentary

I was referring to the level of boredom more than the level of fact 😆
