Thank you. :y Needs a clean at the moment, mind. ::)

I must admit the main reason for the DIY job, other than cost, was quality control. It seems even going to an LPGA installer doesn't guarantee a satisfactory job. >:(

OK. Post some pictures and we'll let you know what we think. :y

There's always scope for tidying it up and, if bad enough, seeing if the LPGA will act. (don't hold out too much hope!)

I was thinking earlier this evening  that someone such as yourself could possibly go into business doing LPG installs, people are crying out for it and the so called professionals often seem to make a dogs dinner of it.Someone with a conscientious attitude could quickly build a good reputation and probably make a good living out of it. :-/

Must confess it has crossed my mind as something for extra dosh on my rest days (I get 4 every 8 after all ::)) and I have had discussions with Teilo about it ;) ;)

I still haven't ruled it out as a possibility ;) ;)

As long as you dont mind being very busy, I would imagine you could do well out of it tbh. From what I have read recently LPG installers are constantly snowed under with work. :y

i'd stop using that until its sorted, time to bang the desk, money back for repairing the install, solicitors letters the lot. If you paid by card get onto the bank, they'll get your money back for you.

 Does thre install come with a disc and data cable for your pc?

You see tbh it's a relation of my da's that done it. So would feel wrong dong that and nah no cables or disks :-/ And also still paying it has i said if it could be done i'd pay it off gradually like. I've stop using it has i feel that it might have damaged the engine so going to save for a good service see needs the betls done anyway but im no mechanic. Anyone here from N.Ireland good with tools? If so i might have a bit of work for you has i don't like going to lockside :y

Nor here... My slight power loss is there on both fuels and I'm firmly convinced it's timing related... Should be doing a belt (kit!) change in the next month or so anyway :y :y
