I just had my EML come on,  Rickyboy wrote this yesterday

Temp guage and dash sounds like the wire from the temp sensor is either loose or not connected.  Make sure the spade is connected firmly on and the wiring has no splits.  I took the spade off on mine and closed it a bit with a pair of pliars. Not sure of its location on your car.

As for the traction control light and the trouble starting - I reckon that's wiring related as well.  I recently had a knock sensor code coming up every time I went over 2000rpm and would disappear at 4000rpm.  Found the soldered wires linking the sensors to my lpg conversion were all touching and needed seperated with insulation tape.

but I don't know which wire(s) hes talking about,

Any Ideas would be great.

Think the knock sensor wire as you look from the front of the car come up from the left behind your alternator, over the side edge of the cambelt cover then into the front horizontal wiring harness above the aux belt.

If the knock sensor code is only happening when running on lpg - it's far more likely the mixture is lean.  Richen it and see if it disappears, even if your lpg software is suggesting otherwise.  The wires were all linked together on mine in such a poor way because the original installation of the lpg system was clearly a botched job.

it's all the time rickyboy not just on LPG, and it only started this afternoon. But the BiGas system on mine is an early GIS system ans needs a dongle for the software, I have located a service centre in Tamworth. All was running fine but then had a misfire when starting from cold, 2 mins and the missfire stopped, but even with the missfire NO EML, checked plugs and leads and they are all firing so not too sure where to go now. :-/

Is this a multi-point or single point system?  If it's single point you can adjust the mixture by turning one of the screws on the vapouriser.  Any other symptoms like stalling etc?

It has 2 banks of 3 solanoids piped to the inlet manifold .
I have been told it's sequential but i know nothing about it

[rickyboy]

Sequential is multi-point.  Changing the screw on the vapouriser will only increase the pressure.  Definitely needs some software tweaking I think.  

I don't know where the wiring from the knock sensor is on the 3.0 litre to check if it's ok but doubt that's the problem anyway.

How is your oil?  Top it up or do an oil change - knock sensor codes can often appear when the engine oil is low.  Probably an idea to do an oil and filter change just for piece of mind.
