Well Saturday will be busy so a couple of hours on Sunday sometime will be set aside for a look around and to sort a plan.

What part of Cheltenham do you live in? I live in Warndon Villages - about 1/2 mile from M5 north junction.

I used to live in Twigworth and moved up here for work, as I had licence problems caused by commuting by bike!!!!

Licence problems.... Quality ;D

I live with my friends just outside Cheltenham, near Whittington/Dowdeswell.

I can come over to you anytime at all, afternoon would be preferable, but obviously I will fit in with you.

I know the area roughly - where the road from Birdlip joins the A40.

Back in the late 80s the Police and courts used to concentrate on bikes. Even to the stage that an aquaintance was pulled while being overtaken by a car who was bombing it.

The obsession with traffic is still there around Gloucester with high crime rates and lots of silly limits. eg A38 was dropped from 40 to 30 due to an accident with a drugged up girl on the northern bypass.

Sunday - will need to do weeks shop at one stage however Sue can walk there and I'll pick upp if necessary, I also will have two helpers, one of which will want to use his spanner.

OK

The GLS is quite nice, definately GLS despite the air con and the CD wheels.

The fog light wiring is horrid!

Sounds nice as well

Well the LPG seems OK except for a stuck open injector, I will be investigating this.

We will put the main gas pipe in here

Cheers Martin, it was lovely to meet you, and I'm really going to appreciate your guidance! I look forward to what you find out about the stuck injector on number 3..

We had a good chat, had a good look around the GLS, definately in need of detailing on the stone chips, fog lights must go along with the tacky switch and the bodged wiring.

My posted message is not yet on the Yaho message board so can you email OMVL tomorrow?

I have donated a towbar socket holder to use as a gas filler bracket - you tend to collect these and better than chucking it!!!!

The manifold cannot be fitted until the injector is repaired or replaced, I also feel that the faulty injector may have caused some of the problems with the 2.0CD.

Plans are as follows, get as much fitted at James - towbar, tank base, manifold, probably water plumbing, I had worked out what was what, the cut injectors are not as neat on the 2.0 as compared to the V6s. James will stock up on Jubilee clips, there were definate bodges on the install when removed.

ECU will go in engine compartment - it is smaller than my Romano System N.

I THINK my LPG setup cable will work James will bring up a laptop to check. One thing I would prefer if possible is to switch from coil feed to RPM feed, but it is not important!

Wiring not sure if to do it here or not.

In a few weeks we will meet up back in Worcester to do the gas pipe, James will supply the pipe, olives ect, I'll supply tools and some experience, and burgers for dinner.

Been having a think, what is to be done about that switch hole?

Considering fitting the controller switch there.

I have the ramps, and a hydraulic jack and possibly if I find them some axle stands.

James will check the filler to see if we can towbar mount it to save buying another, I had one - a bit dented so not happy to use it.

The GLS definately has the potential to be a good car, just need the rear electric windows, James had a Twin (Alex I think) asking what the handle was for ;D ;D ;D ;D. And also the detailing on the paint chips.

The dodgy injector - any news?

I have posted on Yahoo LPG group but no replies yet.

Have you contacted the importers?

there was a discussion on www.lpgforum.co.uk about "omvl dream 21 injector/regulator" on Jan 18th. They were complaining about not being able to service the dream injector rail when all that was gone was a small O ring. Romano injectors were reconed to be a lot more reliable and easier to clean. I think you can fit either on the dream ECU. The word was that FES will sell a 'recon rail' for about £75 inc vat, so if they try to charge a lot, just remind them that they are often on this forum, and the prices mentioned. :y :y

Interesting I'll search that when I get home - I will also email Autogas WorldWide to price up 4 Romano injectors and a supply rail with temperature sensor.

But will Romano ones be compatible?

I'm on to a local OMVL installer and if he agrees to look at them you will have to get them to Inkberrow.

But it looks like you may need a recon injector assembly.

At this stage all is in the air, but I think selling the two cars will supply the recon money if necessary.
