TPS will self adapt, it's one of the adaptive settings that can be reset. It saves the lowest voltage that it sees as throttle closed so anything over that will raise the revs but it will also raise them at idle so unlikely it is that. What sort of revs are you showing when slowing with a closed throttle? Mine will sit at around 1,000 rpm on the overrun and only drop when the brakes are used to slow the car.

This is my filler and I've not had a problem filling with either type of filler gun in the UK or the various different ones in Europe. That is with or without a trailer hitched up too.

The nozzles want to be as close as possible to the petrol injectors so in the lower manifold as Brian says. Have a look at post 3 here https://rangerovers.pub/topic/171-lpg-install-first-time for a picture of the enlarged holes he is talking about.

Doh, that didn't work. See post 5 here https://rangerovers.pub/topic/193-archives-and-posting-pictures-documents but the URL must be a direct link, so if using something like imgur you need to use the Direct link option not any others.

Same as on petrol although you may want to close the gaps up slightly. I use the GEMS recommended NGK BPR6ES but close them down to 25 thou. Although others have said they've noticed a difference in running, I haven't but it makes them last longer as the erosion has to be more advanced before the gap is too big for the spark. Change them every 10-15,000 miles.

In OldShep's situation, the networks store the numbers of calls made to and received from, otherwise how would they be able to send out itemised bills? That same information can be given to plod if they request it with the agreement of the subscriber or if they have a warrant. There's nothing new in that and nothing that changes under GDPR.

As we (I) hold a lot of personal information there's been a lot of activity and training in preparation for GDPR. Basically, any information you give voluntarily to a company or person you have to opt in to them using it to send you further 'offers' rather than the previous regime where you had to opt out. Hence the notices like the one above from companies you've done business with telling you what they will use your information for. Most people will also have received, or will do very shortly, emails from companies like Euro Car Parts asking if you want to continue to receive information about their special offers and deals. This is the main difference, you have to opt in rather than opt out. The other main change relates to sharing data from someone else, whether intentionally or not. If I need to send an email to a number of different people rather than include everyone in the To or cc fields, they have to be in the Bcc field so one recipient doesn't immediately find out the email addresses of the other recipients. Only you can give out information to someone else and you have the right to ask that it is deleted once they have finished with it.

What it does mean is that all the dodgy companies that cold call can be asked where they got your details from and you can quite legitimately tell them that you don't wish to receive any further calls and they must delete your details from their database immediately.

Ideally you need a copy of Code of Practice 11 which is what the examiner will inspect it against. TT will no doubt supply you with instructions that will cover most things but CoP 11 is only available from UKLPG/LPGA (or whatever they are calling themselves at the moment). You have PM.

But, if you are leaving the existing head unit in place and simply feeding the output from the new unit into the line in on the Grom, then all the existing controls on the head unit will still work as they always have. You are just using the output from the new unit as an external source. A nice simple addition while the DSP is still working. When it dies then you've got a lot more work to do but for the time being it seems a good option.

I think the kit gives 3.5m but if you ring Martrim and tell them you want black for a P38, they'll sell you the correct length. It's quite generous too, you'll have plenty enough left over for the pillars. Only problem with doing the B post trims is getting a neat finish around the sliding bit where the seat belt top mount comes through.

Main piece of advice is to make sure you have one, if not two, assistants when you come to do it. The Martrim glue is possibly the stickiest of sticky stuff on the planet.

Document I did for someone else who was also changing theirs.

Orangebean swapped his complete interior at the first summer camp, took about 4 hours to do. Gives a good opportunity to give the carpets a good vac while the seats are out and retrieve all the small change that's been dropped down the side of the seats over the years. If you are swapping seats like for like, then just unplug the cables under each front seat. Easiest way of doing it is to undo the 4 bolts holding each front seat, then tip it back so you can get in there. As Gordon says, you'll need a set of Torx bits (like https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/draper-12-7-piece-square-drive-48mm-long-tx-/) and a Number 2 Pozidrive screwdriver for the door cards. Trim removal tools (https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/5-piece-car-trim-removal-kit/) help with getting the door cards off without breaking the clips although you will find that most of them stay in the door and have to be refitted to the cards before you put them back.

If by centre console panels you mean the side covers, there's two screws (or there should be, many cars don't have them any longer), one at the front by the heater outlet vent and one low down at the back. You need to gently lever the back outwards away from the window switchpack, then the whole thing slides downwards. I've got pictures of how to do it somewhere, I'll see if I can add them.

It's used with a single point LPG system. They aren't particularly happy with the output from the factory 5-0V sensors on a GEMS as it stops at idle. It doesn't matter to the petrol system as it goes open loop at idle anyway but the LPG system sees it as a weak mixture and cranks the fuelling up to the max. Using a 0-1V sensor to drive the LPG system means that the mixture stays where it should be all the time (as they still give an output at idle) and it also means you have two totally independent fuelling systems. Even if the car won't run on petrol at all due to a failed MAF, gummed injectors or a dead fuel pump, for instance, it will still run perfectly OK on LPG.

Probably, if you intend leaving the existing head unit in there and use the line level output. Most people pull that out and fit a cubby in it's place. Although most people don't have a working DSP system any more which is why they are looking for and alternative.

I'd disconnect the battery too but other than that you should be OK. My third sensor is in the drivers downpipe after the original one and mounted roughly horizontal. Don't use cheapy Chinese universal sensors though unless you like changing them every 9 months or so. I've found an NTK for a Focus is cheap, easy to get hold of and the one on there has been there for over 2 years now.

I paid about the same for Boge OEM. Oddly, although both list the fronts, neither Island or LRDirect list the rears. If your old ones had no damping at all, then anything would be an improvement but the Terrafirma are supposed to live up to their name and be, errm, firmer.

Except for WhatsApp as it is end to end encrypted and doesn't appear anywhere on the network in a form that can be unencrypted. Which is why the security services tried to ban it......

What can't be done is listen in to your mobile phone conversations. The way GSM works is that it uses Time Division Multiplex. Each carrier is split into 10 time slots, 8 carrying speech as data and the other 2 carrying timing information. So if you were to break it down you would hear a snippet of conversation 1, a snippet of conversation 2, then 3, then 4, etc, until you get back to number 1 again. That's why music on hold sounds so bad on a mobile, because the codec is engineered for human speech as it has to fill in the gaps between slots and can't easily cope with music. CDMA and UMTS get even more complex.

The DSP system uses a single DSP amp on the boot while the non-DSP unit has individual door amps in each door. On the existing head unit there should be a DSP option (in the tone controls bit from memory), if you don't have that then you've got amps in the doors. If you have door amps there will be 5 outputs from the head unit, L&R, front and rear as well as the output for the sub. That will need attenuators or an aftermarket unit will overdrive the amps (unless you use line out level but I think that will be too low). The DSP system only has two outputs, L&R, and the fade and sub feed is all dealt with in the DSP amp. The existing head unit will have permanent and ignition switched live feeds on one of the DIN plugs that normally go into the back of the unit.

Every time I've had a cold call from a UK number from 'Raymond' (or a similar English name) but who obviously doesn't have English as a first language calling on a low bandwidth VOIP line from somewhere very distant, I've blocked the number so I don't get any more calls. I'm looking forward to unblocking them all on the 28th so I can tell them they are breaking the law and to remove my details from their database immediately.

Best have a word with Simon, he fitted it after all......

No not me although my boss currently has one. A D3, running around with the air suspension at the lowest setting (so barely above the bump stops), a transfer box in high that thinks it's in low causing more lights on the dash than Blackpool. It's also got an extra aerial on it but the plate ends in ZTT. Anyway, Ofcom would never spend money on something as frivolous as a number plate, they are too busy wasting it on far less useful things.......
