Yeah, Made my eyes bleed tonight seeing the time and effort taken at making those high quality 'wrap around' connections

That looks like a right bodge job needs some proper looking at with some crimps and soldering iron 
whats the live wire infront of the battery go to as surely that should be connected on to battery

Total agree!!
Never knew such a bodge job could exist and I'm a real master at bodge jobs, but this is just a step too far!
Think that cable was for some kind of possible police light setup in the front grill.. It connects into the drivers dash with a switch... But then again.. I doubt police would have their connectors and switches wired like this.... (unless it's something to do with the LPG but I don't think it is)
Sweetmother of good god!!

I'm guessing the police chief had one of those 'bring your kid to work' days and this is the result.. Nobody spoke up though incase they got fired :L
That is terrible wiring even for bodge standards .
Why does the system box say "for 4 cylinders"? thats a bit strange. Would expect some sort of bodge further in to fire 2 injectors together therefore wasting LPG. Unless there's 2 of them I don't know.
I would look around a bit more, but certainly consider buying a proper complete "under bonnet" setup they can be got secondhand at a reasonable price.
Or as was said take it back to the seller and rant.

ah yes could be.
But obviously not a dedicated system for the V8.
personally I would rip it all out and go with the option of a correct secondhand setup they can be got for a couple hundred.

He's even got to keep moving around the country since he got the Gaylander.6 letters in a straight line like it should be
Just don’t get a Freelander. Saint did that and we never saw him again. It was horrible, he started off saying it was the misses car, then we all had to play along for months not to hurt his feelings.

At least it looks like the engine has had some work done on it or a recon dropped in as its all been painted up, will make it easier to see oil leeks
the more i look at at the twisted together wiring i think pull it all out and do it properly but god only knows what else you will find

That’s gotta be one of the worst ‘that’ll do’ jobs I’ve seen.

I spoke to him and he said the sticker was torn a bit, should say 'BYPASSED'
Nah not going to bother speaking to them.. Considering what I paid for it, Im prepared for the journey ahead now..
And also, Considering I was told the lpg works 99% of the time, I can't really rely on what else I'm told. So far these past few days it's still worked 0% of the time, everytime.
Unless there's some kind of special sequence to get it working 99% of the time that I seem to be missing
Maybe the get-it-working sequence is re-do the whole bloody system then it'll work 99% of the time!!!
