No olive... No nothing!! Had to flare the end of the polyflex to metal pipe connector thing and I didn't expect to have much joy TBH

Ahh. Now I know why it was hard work.

I have an adaptor that screws into the tank valve with a tapered end, IIRC. The other end of the adaptor is a female compression joint so olive on the stem of the polyflex connector and job done.

I didn't have anything like that and I just went straight to the local supplier to be sure it arrived tomorrow!!

Which it hasn't!!  

How frustrating can you get... Not being able to finish the job due to one small connector!

Spoke to them and it did get dispatched last night on the Royal Mail Signed For service but postie has been and no connector.

A bit annoying because I'd have gotten it from Teilo if I hadn't been in a hurry to get it today (I couldn't get hold of him yesterday afternoon) and not had to pay through the nose for it from Tinley Tech!

Back at work tomorrow so I'll just have to wait and finish it all off on my first night shift (Saturday)... I just want to have it all done and calibrated so I can do the 700 odd miles next week when I go to Yorkshire on the cheap stuff!

Just to top everything off the car has started cutting out occasionally at idle, although it appears to be OK with the AC turned on. I thought it was something I'd done at first but decided to paperclip it..... Code 19! Typically it had to happen after I've re-assembled the plenum and scuttle etc... Would have been so easy to change when it was all apart 2 days ago

Anyway... Methinks a quick call to Andyc is in order tomorrow to see if he can pop me a replacement in the post, first class, as I'm off to Yorkshire on Monday!! I doubt I'll get a chance to fit it before I go but at least if I've got a spare it's not too bad  :-? :-? :-?

Just out of interest... Can anyone tell me what size TORX bit is required to remove the sensor please?

Finished it  

Runs like a dream!!! Calibrated and mapped it within about 25 minutes, not rushing at all, and there is no noticeable performance drop at all I have, at present, left it to switch back to petrol over 6000RPM, which is higher than I generally take it anyway, just to be on the safe side. I'll run it for a week, including the trip to Yorkshire, and then check for errors as it did bring up the normal WOT warning on the first calibration run but hasn't since

The deviation is no more than about +4.5% and -5.5% so well within the acceptable area

I'm just about to post some more pictures up in the gallery

Well done.

Thanks for your help Kevin... Meant the whole installation took no more than 3 (fairly long) days  

I now have a spare manifold available to anyone who wants to do their own LPG conversion. It is bare because I've kept the injectors and rail as spares

No Problem.

If anyone wants some nozzles put in that manifold I'd be happy to oblige.

That makes me sad too... Because I keep going out and looking at it all!!! I can't believe how easy this kit is to install!! I was a little apprehensive to start with, even though I used to earn my living wielding spanners, but it really was simple... Just time consuming

I said when I got rid of my LPG Rangie that I would never pay to convert a car but... At the price I paid I will get my money back in 6-9 months and all it took was a little time and effort

looks very good mate well done

only thing about lpg that puts me off is the size of the 'bomb' in the boot - i'd never get the bloody pram in there

[Lazydocker]

Of course you would... The Miggy boot is cavernous!!
