There's three lpg installers in NI afaik. Two in Tyrone and one in Londonderry. I've dropped them all an email this evening to see if they have access to micromise. I guess you're right - it's worth a try first of all  :-\

Did you install it as per any wiring diagram? Can we see this diagram if so?  which ECU pins did you use for RPM, 12v switched feed, etc?

Sorry this sounds labourious, but we need to know to help :y

Not laborious at all mate. Grateful for the help.
Used the connections as per the guide on here.

Got a response already! No joy though, and he doesn't believe anyone in NI would have it, or be in a position to get it for a 'one off'.
He also suggests a new ECU and loom.

Sounds like a dickhead who isn't interested in giving any help. :(

That's what I thought, but he's just emailed me again asking what sort of car it's for!

£460 to change ECU and loom apparently  :P

Granted, not the cheapest, but a proven vapouriser. There's also an unfitted second hand kit on for £300 :y

Aaaaaargh! Pulling my hair out now - can't decide what to do  :'(
Don't know whether its worth spending any more time or money on this one - just bad luck - if I want gas, it's gotta be a new kit really, hasn't it?

Sorry if this has been covered Jonny, but do you have a wiring diagram of the kit you installed?

No James. I used the guide on here for the ECU connections.
There is no other wiring diagram or instruction.

Ok cool - so how did you know which wires on the LPG loom related to which?

For example, How did you know which wire on the LPG loom, to connect to the RPM pin in the ECU box, without the wiring diagram for the kit?

Kit was removed from donor with 'tails' of wiring. These corresponded to the colour coding for the guide, and the loom also followed the same colour scheme. Basically iirc there were the two purple wires for the lambdas for one part of the loom, and a red and ? for the other.
What are you thinking?

I'm thinking there's absolutely no way to confirm you've actually connected the right LPG loom wires to the right wires on the car!

So for example, RPM will go to a green wire, and you may have had a green wire on this 'wiring tail' - but, there are numerous green wires in the ECU box - so did this one go to pin35, etc?

God I wish I could get my hands on this car for a day!!
