I use mine all the time I'm on the Continent. They don't have streetlights on the motorways and as there's naff all traffic driving at night so it's just driving into the blackness. Dipped beam is good, main beam is superb (or they are with Osram Nightbreakers in there) but the fogs give a wide flat beam of light that illuminates the kerbs on both sides filling in the gaps close in. Never had anyone flash me for dazzling them, well, not unless I've got so used to driving on main beam that seeing someone coming the other way is such a shock I've forgotten to dip them.

If you've got cruise control you've got a high line BeCM. The plugs for the switches will be in the loom waiting for you to plug them in and the wiring for the front fogs will almost certainly be there too. As Dave says though, it isn't as simple as plugging the switch and lights in, the BeCM needs to be told they are fitted. It registers the switch being pressed and then outputs the power to the correct wires to cause them to light up. If it didn't have them before then it will be set as Fog Lamps, Not Fitted and that needs to be changed.

I've got the dangling plug for the cruise control switch even though I don't have cruise control.

Idle air valve needs cleaning as it's sticking.

Send it back, Rimmers are excellent for returns.

I use both Island 4x4 and LRDirect for anything I want and there's been very little to choose between them up until the current situation. However, I placed an order with LRDirect on Monday afternoon, arrived today. There's usually nothing to choose on price, Island are slightly cheaper for some things and LRDirect on others. Main difference is that you really need to find the part number of whatever you need on the Island site (or on LRCat) and paste it into the LRDirect site otherwise you won't always find what you are looking for.

Ring spanner and 2lb club hammer is my usual method of shocking them off. Make sure the ring spanner is fully on and give the end of it a swift clout.

No, Island 4x4 in Kent, https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/

It's cleaning up the soot from combustion which is why it stays cleaner when the engine runs on LPG as it's a much cleaner fuel and produces virtually no soot. For the same reason the oil in a diesel gets dirtier. You're right in that it cleans the engine but only if there is anything there to clean.

and not only the oil. One reason why I keep well away from diesels, other than I know naff all about them, is your hands go black just by opening the bonnet.....

Depends on how far you go. If it runs on petrol for 1 mile then on LPG for 9, that's 10% on petrol but, if like me you run on petrol for 1 mile then on LPG for 200, that's only 0.5%. I start on petrol and run on it for about 2 seconds while it switches over....

They are still there but due to the Covid 19 restrictions most of the staff are working from home. They have one guy working in their warehouse sending out items so it might be slower than usual.

Looks about right, 1500 is nothing, if running on LPG, it'll still look like that in 10,000 miles time. But why are you having to top it up after 1500 miles?

Chop the ends off a track rod......

That's what I was thinking. You'll have residual pressure in the fuel rail but if the pump isn't firing up then as soon as that pressure has gone, you'll have no fuel there to keep it running.

That wouldn't affect starting unless the fuel trims had been steered way out, in which case it would still be the same after it had been started.

Nope, Nanocom, Faultmate, EASUnlock V4 and maybe Lynx. A reader is just that, a reader, it can only read not write.

If you've changed the TPS you need to reset the adaptive values to store the closed throttle voltage from the new sensor which will be different to the old one.

Having a good look at the fuel pressure might give you a clue. The pump runs for about 3 seconds from ignition being switched on to prime the system, then it runs while cranking and obviously once the engine starts. If it is priming but then not running while cranking that would give the problem you have.

Makes sense for it to be a vacuum take off for the brake servo which would explain why the P38 doesn't have anything connected as it doesn't need one. SAI was fitted to all NAS spec cars, not just California, one of the many subtle differences as well as the steering wheel being fitted in the wrong place.
