Can you confirm the lpg system is doing it's job? You may just need to change the fuel pump and go from there. 🤔

I'd do a bit of homework on leboncoin to give you an idea of it's value and then decide from there. You can sell it without a c.t just make it clear before the sale. Good luck in your choice, it's a nice car😎👍

Work in progress:)

I bought some of these that provide a much nicer light. Instead of the three LED dots there are a dozen smaller ones that give a more even light. You need a 39mm for the front & 36mm for each side at the rear.

No technical reason but depends on the system. some will let you force a cold start by flipping the switch a few times.. or whatever the 'secret' is for a particular system. Some won't allow it. Just expect it to crank longer before it starts

The clock if offered is worth having and dry storing. 👍 It's something that rarely breaks but would cost if you had to buy one😜

dont get your face in the way of the result ;). J

And don't forget the tissues :rolleyes: :rolleyes: 😁

Problem sorted. Thanks for all the help. In case anyone else has a similar problem :- Removed the relay, checked the pin from the ignition switch/ecu, 0V with ignition off, 12V with ignition on so working correctly. Took the plastic cover off...

Swap out a few more plugs, check what you pull out and keep for 'emergency' spares ...

Thank you 800 miles after the Forté engine flush and using there oil system treatment I haven’t heard it knock again, fingers crossed it’s sorted guys it runs so much sweeter now

I think I managed to sort the issue, basically the oil system holds 7.5l of oil but when you drain it out and replace the filter you can only get out 6.5l so I used Forté engine flush then drained that oil, put in some cheaper fresh oil and new...

Ok, So I changed the coil and plug in cylinder 7. Access wasn’t fantastic but it was reasonably straightforwards. The plug that came out was a bit rusty but not sooty and no significant oil in the spark plug well. Replaced with a Bosch coil...

No significant oil? So there's oil? Rusty spark plug !! I don't think your done there matey. 😜

I'd sling that crap and let the engine breath👍 It hides issues and keeps noise down😶

It normally lifts off carefully 🤔

Does your laptop have a serial port or are you using a USB to serial adaptor? What version of Windows are you using?

Open Windows Device Manager. Expand the Ports section, and then open Properties. Then in the properties box it will show the cable hardware manufacturer.

You won't get far in a few minutes 🤷

All this talk about having a good tug :rolleyes: There was a time we'd have had some mileage out of that😁😁

That might be my next problem but I'd like to have a radio to drown the noise as it dies.

Best to do it without & then with a drop.

And pull the fuel pump fuse so you don't get fuel everywhere
