Well today i went to complete some of the things that need doning on the car.
1. replace passenger window guide - done eventually after some jigging about.
2. Replace door check strap mechanisum - started, the hubby broke it, then it started to rain. :( i need to some how bend back the buckled metal thats in the hole or get some bigger screws.
3. ABS light on on dash after lpg conversion got code 0050 -checked connections on the back of the car, need to go and disconnect and reconnect them as i think their might be some dirt in them. but its raining.
4. Secure LPG ecu - looked at it, need to drill some holes but guess what its raining.
5. Sort gearbox leak- filled it up yet again. took 3ltrs after doing 188 miles. not good need to replace the torque converter seal ( i think) but its a 2 man job and i cant do it on my own as i dont have all the tools required.
6. sort out LPG bar pressure - its working slightly low about 0.2 of a bar to low. - need the laptop for this and jase is on it trying to fix it.
7. Re mapp the lpg - cant be done until i have sorted out the lpg bar pressure.
8. Throttle cable - needs replacing as it looks like its been butchered! -trying to located a second hand one.
but hey cant do anymore today as its rainin and buy the time it stops ill have to sort my sh*t out as im going out.

nut is completely rounded off, nothing to grip to. easier to pay someone else to do it now i think.

I like to leave it to drain a while! Tend to take each side off the axle stand and lower it with the trolley jack to get the dregs out of the sump. :y
Mine has the seperate oil filter element / can arrangement as well... just a pity you have such limited space to get the wrench / spanner in!
One piece spin on filters are so much easier!
Sun has just come out again now.... Might even wash it! :D

Just bought some petrol for the mower and contemplating my first step into the garden this year... :-/
If I get the mower out it'll only rain again, won't it?
Oh, and I dumped my waste oil at last, all 50 litres of it. :o Ignored the shifty bloke at the tip who was suspicious of the quantity. ::)

That takes me back!.....
I`ve got the plans to D.I.Y one of those; from an old LPG tank and some cast iron piping/fittings and a fan.....plans were printed in the magazine"Mother Earth News" from the era of my 'hippy-yoof' in the 70`s
Elf and safety folks `would doubtless have a fit; what with fumes and fire potential. ;)

I fancy one of these to keep my garage warm. How cool is that? Turbocharged log burning stove... 8-)
