Hi Dave,
            my car was converted about 5 years ago from what I can make out from an LPG approved installer. I did try to contact them for some details but the've just recently gone out of bussiness. My tank is in the spare wheel well of the estate but is about 2.5" higher than the boot floor. This was levelled with some plywood, a job that I'm going to redo today as it wasn't very neat.
Mine is only the single point injection which is meant to be less efficient than the modern multipoint but I can honestly say, I've not noticed the difference between running on fuel & lpg. Mind you, I've only driven the car for 1 day so far  ::) I'll keep you posted on how much my weekly fuel bill drops. It would probably be worth speaking to some of the other guys on here who have had lpg conversions for a while and see what they think of them.

Cheers Jim

I rechecked my codes with the trusty paperclip today to see if any of the old ones had cleared. I'm now left with two out of the original four but not the two I expected!  ::)
0130 is still there, indicating a lambda related fault and 0100 MAF sensor.

Is there any checks I can do with a multimeter to test the Lambda? I've got a couple of 4 wire universal ones sitting. Wires are two white, 1 black and 1 grey. how do these colours correspond to the Vauxhall wiring? I thought I might just try one to see if it makes any difference.

Cheers, Jim
