I have just subscribed to the Yahoo group, membership is pending approval.

Off to Tesco in my lunch (about 3am!) to get some decent packing stuff to post injectors

Money is really tight at the mo so if it's going to be expensive it may have to wait a couple of weeks :(

Can but wait and see, in the end even getting recon injectors will pay for themselves in two months

Also Martin, the clear plastic bit that sits on top of the LPG tank where the gas pipes go in.. has god a chunk broken off. Is this any reason for concern, or reduce the chances of gaining certification?

What make is the tank valve?

Just need a new cover, they are not expensive.

Failing that glue and repair but you need it sealed for safety reasons

The cover has got OMVL written on it..

Martin, I'm sorry mate. Girlfriend didn't post them in the end, and Last night is the first time I got down to her. I haven't intentionally ignored your message, it's just been a really hectic time for me...

Hopefully things will start to quieten down (as the weather improves!!) for the conversion..

I also emailed FES about a tank cover, I think they must have forgotton to respond.. I'll chase that up.

Other than that, I'm also desperately trying to get the car running right, and at the right economy (eg not 21mpg!) before we think about putting the LPG components on it... I'm sure you'll agree the car needs to be running fine before it's LPG'd...

New stat is going on at lunchtime.. the engine is not reaching temp. Even after a 14 mile drive to work this morning, It was only half way up to 90... and the heater was only blowing luke warm...

Hence the ECU think's it is cold, and is making the mixture too rich.

At an educated guess that is largely based on Mark's posts. I flushed it once, but if the stat doesn't fix, I'll flush again, really thoroughly...

I think you will have to wait a little while for the injectors - not an instant repair - add on the two day delay each end for pick up and posting I reckon you would be around a week without them.

I used to get average 22 - 25 from a 2.0 auto commuting but I might be harder driving but mine was always warm.

On long runs low 30s

Think I've found a significant cause of low MPG, especially when cold... see "thermostat problem" in general help ;D
