Hi all - I had the blend motors / orings replaced in my 4.6 at the tail-end of last year. Since then, I have had an increasingly common (ie daily) fault in which the chequebook sign (sorry, I mean hand-book sign) appears in the HEVAC display, with the fault being that the air distribution...

switch the engine off and on again - always works for me.

I had the same problem just last week, although all 6 of the indicator lights were permanently on - and I only discovered it when I went to the car to go home from work! The battery had just enough power to illuminate the lights on my dash but that was it. Bought a new battery in the end as the...

This might help! After stripping the carpet out as well as the under-dash panels, a friend and I hosed the car down all around the drivers side, windscreen etc, and discovered that water was ingressing through the dash, dripping down into the cable channel and then being soaked up by the carpet...

The fluid seems to only show between the rubber heel rest (drivers side carpet) and the front of the drivers seat - no other part of the carpet is wet. I'm going to check the aircon drain valve thing under the car at the weekend, in case it's that. I'll probably pull the drviers side carpet up...

I got shot of my V6 Alfa Spider end of March for a 1998 4.6 HSE with LPG conversion - talk about a difference in cars!! Love the Rangie, as does my fiancee who enjoys driving it (wouldn't let her behind the wheel of the Alfa!). Love the car and it's commanding driving position, although I'm just...

Well, had the O-rings and blend motors replaced at the weekend. And the damn thing is still leaking! Looks like it could the matrix afterall. Looks like I'm in for the big spend then :eek:

Got exactly the same problem on my 98. The local indie has recommended repalcing the matrix and while they are there with teh dash out, the blender motors - as these are also a common problem apparently. Whole lot will cost around £1k including the vat, and will take about 2 days! I feel...

Thanks for the reply Jim - I'll try all those things!

Hi all - I run a 4.6 RR with an LPG conversion, which has been working fine up until the last couple of days. Filled up with LPG last Wednesday, and by Friday I was noticing a lack of throttle response when running on gas, but thought it could be my imagination. On Saturday, I noticed that when...

Thanks Rick - I'm using those lights as a rough guide, as they can never seem to make up their minds on how much fuel is left! Does anybody know if there is an easy way to delay the petrol>lpg swap over point? It sis swapping over too early, so am doing it manually at the moment. Or is this a...

And I thought my V6 Spider was thirsty LOL! Thanks for that, and you are right, it is pretty much all town driving (probably not the best vehicle for that, guess I should have bought a Fiat 500 if I wanted fuel economy!). I'll run the tank dry then, and fill it up again - I presume that the...

It's a Stako, judging by the certificate. Last night it kept showing the red 'empty' light and then back to a single green light - is it OK to run these dry, or should I refill when on the red? I've only had 130 miles out of 51 litres so far!

I have the same setup on my 4.6 Ltd, and I have already noticed the fule guage is basically making things up. Told me the 95l tank was empty, but on refuelling I could only put 51l in before it was full! I've also noticed that the engine revs drop right off in start-stop traffic if the engine is...

Hello! I'm new to this crazy new 4x4 world and have taken the plunge with a top spec P38 4.6 Ltd - wow, what a car! It has an LPG conversion which I would like to get serviced, but I seem to be struggling to find anywhere in or close to Southampton. Anybody out there that can point me in the...
