Oh... And the guy "in the know" at your local garage obviously hasn't the faintest idea!

Could well be the solenoid as per the above link ;)

Or the LPG distributor may be gummed up

hi again all :)

as the rain has stopped, i had some more time to have another look at car...

im thinking, how can i test the stepper motor- to see its working ok?

i have taken the cover off the solenoid,and can see it is working fine, i know gas is getting to the engine, as before it stalls i can smell the fumes....

are both pipes that goto the vaporisor supposed to get hot?

im still trying to sort this myself as i cant afford a gas tech :-[

**just read up about a solenoid VALVE? where is this located         
and is it ok to disconnect it and clean it?

thanks again

Plan to be home by then ;) ;)

Check all the joints again... Best leak detector is actually the Mk 1 Nose (which you probably noticed I used mainly)

It's not unheard of to get a feint whiff on switchover but I never have :-/

its very, very slight. Don't think any passengers would not notice, as mentioned it almost completely goes within few seconds.
