Take the coolant from the vap back into the other half of the "Pig Tail" pipe so the coolant flows through the vaporiser before the HBV. Then just re-join any pipes as required

Except you should fill the vaporiser from the bottom connector to reduce the chance of airlocks so switch which cut pipe goes to the vaporiser and from

Morning everyone, its time for todays episode (number 43?)
First thing to do imo is to put the parts of the cooling system which have been messed about with back to standard. Then its simply a matter of cutting into the pigs tail pipe and running pipework into and out of the evaporator?
I dont have a standard car here to compare, and there are bits of pipe and joiners all over the place so I have a couple of questions.
1.Does the upper of the two matrix pipes go into the side of the aux. pump?
2. does the upper of the two HBV pipes go into the top of the Aux. pump ?
3. Where does the aux. pump mount.Its currently sitting loose on the inner wing.
4.Would it be easier to remove the aux. pump as KW has. If I do this is it simply a matter of the upper HBV pipe going into the upper matrix inlet (outlet?) :-/

Bin the aux pump, it does bog all.

This is what I did. I just used a 90 degree hose joiner, Left a short section of both the pipe from the HBV and the pipe from the heater matrix connector and joined them down by the HBV.

Failing that, outlet from HBV goes into the bottom (top?) of the aux. pump and the side outlet from the pump goes to the heater matrix.

If you bin the pump, I believe you are supposed to tell the climate it doesn't have one.  No idea what will happen if you don't, probably nothing

Too late now its been binned. If it all goes Pete Tong I will blame Kevin Wood.
Its almost all back together now, just got to bolt on the various bits on the drivers side of the engine, and then hopefully it will be as sweet as a nut.

Well its all back together, cleaned the breathers while I was there. Started it up and it switched to LPG in approx. 1 minute.
Been for a test drive, runs nicely checked for leaks etc, all is well. Jobs a goodun.
Thanks to everyone who offered help and advice on the thread and by PM.Its easy to forget sometimes just how great this forum is until you get a situation like this one, and then its brought into sharp focus. As is often said - best forum on the net.
