Cheers mate, another parcel from you added to the living room!

do you know if a seat leon splitter will still fit the connect with the front skidplates fitted? or will the skidplate get in the way.

Think all lpg's have this problem.
Guy for the engine shop guessed it was a head from a lpg vehicles,saying they all do it.

Been told not to run it all the time on lpg

Hi,
You should always start on petrol- it helps lubricate the valve seats or fit a flashlube type upper cylinder lubricant kit. when the van is up to temp then switch over, also... leave the petrol tank 1/4 full.. the petrol pump continues to run to pressurise the fuel rail if you run less than 1/4 tank you will over time burn out the fuel pump.
Also, LPG burns hotter and drier than petrol hence the exhaust valve issues. retarding the ignition will help or see what lpg system it has, some transits I used to work on used koltek distributors( which burn out with a passion) and prinz systems- I've been off the tools and lpg fitting a few years and they have most likely changed again..
if you can find out the system you can possibly get the software..
we used to increase the lpg fuel map load by around 5-12% over the stock settings from tickover to around 2500 rpm that would improve things too.. but it was always a 'suck it and see' while sitting in the passenger seat with the laptop during a roadtest..

hope this might help
Cheers!
Steve

BTW- cheers for the speedy service with the intercooler hoses off ebay!

Plus 2 for pics and are you still doing the tinted headlights? One of mine has filled with condensation so that's all the excuse I need to get some new ones

[valetech]

mod your transit are bring out some new design in a couple of weeks,something abit different to just black
they are also going to be doing the headlight inside trims with loads of designs and patterns,so you can buy them already done and just split your old unit and replace just the inside trim.

[Adam_84]

Sweet my headlights are knackered I put a flyeye film on them and think the lenses got warm from the hid's so there's thousands of little fracture marks so will wait till your new design comes out and two whole new units. Looking forward to seeing them. And your new project is coming along very nicely too

HIDS run cool

[Adam_84]

I'm not sure why it's done it then hey ho, looking forward to your new headlights

had a massive result this week,an axle turned up for one of our suppliers with disc brakes complete apart from the handbrake cable .
we only pay scrap money for them

was just about to fit a disc brake kit, what a result

so van is moving on fast now,will be lowered with the rear disc setup the weekend,hoping to finish painting all the plastics as well.

will start work on the re-spray next week hopefully,but bit hard now the sportvan has been sold
