Sorry mate I would have loved to have popped in but was really up against clock.

I don't think it's LPG related.

Few things to check and confirm..

1) The three earths on the rear of the 2-4-6 head - are they secure? I'm sure you haven't put them all under just one bolt, to save doing up the three, have you ;)

2) Electrical round connectors by battery - all home

3) What is the voltage measured across the battery with engine running

4) Are all electrical connectors etc home?

The TC light constantly on might also be result of a poor connection/earth somewhere disturbed during HG change.

I'm doing a job in Leicester tomorrow. Again, I'm really sorry to be so vague, but on the offchance I get away in good time, I will give you a bell and try and pop in and give you a second pair of eyes.

I'd say don't run it on LPG at all, until everything is hunky dory on petrol :y

Seriously - correct that first. It might be worth scraping your knuckles.. :y

As I say, happy to pop in for a cuppa and a gander if I get time

Do you have facilities to read the codes logged for the TC? :y

It would be good to know what it's complaining about. I have something which should read the codes.

It's also possible those codes aren't there anymore - as with the clip there's no way of telling if they're present or historic.

We need to clear out all the codes and look at it with a clean slate :y :y
