Depends if you consider a bent screwdriver or pick special.

Installed a new length of cable from the LPG ECU at the front, back to the LPG tank in the boot and normal service is resumed.  :y 

With the added bonus that the LPG fuel gauge now works!  8)  In the nearly 10 years of my ownership it has never worked properly!  :o  ;D

Many thanks again to Mr Wood for his diagnostic services!  :y :y :y

Be better to give it a bloody good wash and Polish and keep picking leaves of it/check the scuttle drains periodically ;)

No nothing obvious Kevin.  :-\  I laid the new cable alongside the old one so had a good look, but there's a couple of places where I couldn't see like where it goes into the boot.  :y

VXL V6

Changed the oil and filter on the 3.2, greased brake pipes while I was under there and checked for play in track rods and bearings.

Cleaned up a pair of cam covers ready to be fitted to the next project, painted a fake Irmscher grill to tidy it up a bit and received a genuine GM waterpump through the post.  :)

Bought three ratchet straps at a £1 each to tie the parcel around the fast black one , bet they snap  ::) ;D
