Nothing major then.
No thankfully, new bushes should arrive tomorrow. Lucky I did the front pads Tuesday
Not made any difference. The installation instructions said DO NOT connect the lambda wires. Why are they there then? Think i will connect, should help things
Interesting reading Fuel system basics (lpgc.co.uk)
The stoichiometric ratio for burning LPG in air is between 15.6:1
Maybe explains your rich reading on Nano.

Valid point, hadn't thought of that. But, i think the oxygen content should be the same? As it is, the emissions are off on petrol as a result and have to reset
Normally ±5, after running on lpg for a few mins and switching back to petrol they are 15-20
So what readings do you get on petrol?

Clear sounds good. nice sign wrighting by the way, not my work,I did have a wire brush in the angle grinder. That was my original,the spare I found was off a petrol which has an extra piece on one side because the battery is smaller.i just cut it off to fit mine
Nice one. Got my MOT next week hope I get similar result
Good luck for yours.
Just noticed the mileage on the mot is 123198, sure I posted a pic when it hit 123456

We are supposed to cut up the coiled ones to feed the rest not other way roundThat was my original,the spare I found was off a petrol which has an extra piece on one side because the battery is smaller.i just cut it off to fit mine
I thought that, I think I am hiding from that outcome as I replaced it not that long ago, admittedly a second hand unit. What makes it worse is based on this tyre wear, I think my old one had more life left in it... assuming it isn't tracking... I hope it is tracking.
I'll get back out with a knuckle bar, I don't have the luxury of a torque wrench, but a Google tells me if I can't rotate last 45 degrees, the VCU is goosed. Given my terrible MPGs recently. I think I know what is wrong. Ashcroft don't seem to do referb units anymore, so I am looking at 500 for a new one... plus 2 front tyres (only one is goosed, but only changing one also seems silly). Wonder if parts places take Klarna.
[Edit: My VCU is goosed. Currently sporting a RWD Range Rover while I source a refurb or new unit that doesn't break the bank... plus 2 new tyres... and some TBox juice. Fun!]

Ones that are gone you can stand on the breaker bar and it won’t budge, solid. They should be little stiff.
Give Ashcroft a ring to check, website says no longer stocked but you never know. £320 for brand new Ashcroft would be nice
RTC 6044. RRC & P38
