Drove the 3.2 40 miles to give it a run for the first time in about 8 weeks. Brought a smile to my face as usual. :y :y :y

Removed the stainless SAI pipe and blanked off the manifold pipes, replaced melted vac pipe and re insulated the melted LPG injector cable.  :)

Started up OK, no exhaust blows, LPG functions and no EML light either.  :y

Clocked over 225k in the petrol station forecourt.  I'm not sure the front wheels have covered that far yet.

Retards >:(

Changed the ABS ECU ... made no difference .. faffed about with wheel sensors and eventually found that "My Naff Code Reader" lies and it looks like the front left sensor has gone u/s.

Refitted the repaired rear tyre after driving over a nail somewhere over the weekend.

Cleaned and then refitted all the gubbins on the windscreen that was fitted yesterday after it decided to crack last week.

Gawd, I love this car! :y :y :y

Stripped, cleaned, re-lubricated, & re-assembled the sunroof mechanism, including cleaning the disc.

Now works as it should...  :)

raised my lpg donor elite on all 4 corners so i can make a start removing the front to back pipework so i can eventually transfer the complete system onto my '95 model.



was going to put the donor car back on the road but it's a bit of a shed with 200k on the clock and a previous smoker owner
so if anybody wants anything off it and it'll fit in a jiffy bag you can have it for postage costs.anything else just pm me.
