Fuse 29 isn't it?

Under the steering wheel. I've pulled mine out because the sensor switch is up the duff.

I read in the past couple of days about fixing the no keys, mind of its own  problem but I can't find it with the poor search facility on this forum.

hence the corsa!

its a shame really, cos as a petrol car it runs 100% faultless, got some interest from a couple of forum members but if nothing comes of it, it'll go on trader and i probably wont mention it having LPG at all

I've had various problems with my Elite too. I'm hoping when I've replaced every bit on the car, it might give me 2 or perhaps 3 weeks tops of reliability ;)

You just need to find someone with a V6 Estate who's getting fleeced for petrol and desperate to get another LPG conversion fix.  ::)  ;D

I wonder!!

James, do you know anyone with a V6 estate who's getting fleeced on petrol and wanting an LPG kit? preferably someone who knows their way around a V6 engine?

 ;D ;D ;D

i know you are having troubles with your lpg but have you investigated where the lpg ecu is getting its live feed from?the reason i ask is that when i first lpd'd my omega WITH a omvl setup i wired my ecu into what i thought was a typical live feed only to find that my self levelling went loopy and my car looked like somthing from the seventies.i had to find a new "real" live feed and everthing went back to normal.

I had a rear shock (genuine part) replaced for the MOT, i think that has something to do with it, but since the car's off the road with no insurance, cant take it back to the garage

Interesting. Sounds like they prodded around with a meter and used the first wire they found that went somewhere near 12v with the ignition on.
