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.

Didn't mean to cause offence. A compressor that has a completely worn seal will still appear to be pumping air and it isn't unknown for people to put their hand next to the output and if there is anything coming out think it is fine. It's only when you find you can put your finger over the end and keep it there that you realise it may be doing something but nothing like enough. I went to look at one car where the owner said he'd checked the pump and it was fine, yet when I checked it, although it seemed to be working, there was so little pressure being generated there was no way it was going to lift the car off the bumpstops.

I don't have a problem with people fitting upgraded components when they really are an upgrade (the Direnza alloy radiators being a good example) but what annoys me is when people fit something that is both more expensive and not as good as the original purely down to marketing or perceived superiority. We've got a box of MSD distributors and ignition amplifiers that have been taken off imported cars and replaced with OE Lucas units that work far better as they were designed for the car and not a generic unit with an advance curve that may or may not be something close to what the engine requires. In fact, one particular MSD product, sold for around $100, specifically intended for use on a Porsche and claiming to give a better spark and more power, turned out to be an empty die cast box with a weight inside it. That and the stories of Arnott springs coming apart while a car is parked doesn't fill me with confidence at all.

Might be, mine shows the resolution as HD, maybe reducing the resolution might help?

Too late, you've buggered off....
