Btw Marty, now we've had some snow the heater matrix and heated seats are much appreciated thank you 😀
🎯👌
Sadly I now need the same in my jeep which has no heat at all now. Gotta laugh! Luckily there is a garage a lot closer than Swindon so I won't be risking frostbite on another 5 hour winter drive 😁

The only thing I can't do is get the High Range into 1 reliably.
Stop fiddling with the buttons and get your valve block rebuilt :)
There's adjustment on the selector cable where it connects to the operating arm on the box. Might just need a bit of a tweak.
It's a great team building exercise for yourself and Mrs Morat. She gets to sit in the car and exercise the gear lever. You get to lie underneath and adjust.
In the snow. Sod that ;)
Valve block. Yes. Will do!

Good tool. Plenty of places you don't stand much of a chance getting a screwdriver in to tighten a jubilee. Anyone fancies one, they're here
Ordered! Ta. 😀
But you're hiding it from us!
I'm sure that Simon will be along soon to give a definitive answer but I'd say that:
- Is a gas flow/reducer issue. It might be set to too low a pressure or the reducer might not be able to flow enough gas due to age or being the wrong spec to start with.
- Sounds like bad mapping. In theory there should be no difference in performance between a properly mapped LPG system and running on petrol. In practice it takes skill and experience to get it bob-on.
It sounds like you can't be sure this system has ever run perfectly so you might have to prove the design/components before getting too deep into the adjustments and tuning.
I see the future!
If you're looking at Classics: Ultimate Weekend Warrior
Looking good. I can't stand those massive tailpipe you see on Corsas, those are pretty neat!
I know, but I haven't heard any aftermarket systems that are as quiet as OEM. Not yet, anyway.
I think we need a video of the roaring goodness :)
that and they should constantly flick between lean and rich when everything is working correctly.
I though we'd established that the Ascot was a special edition for the Classic but not the P38?
Or am I mis-remembering?
The correct way to dispose of LPG is to hook it up to a barbeque and invite 30-40 of your closest friends around for a hog roast :)
Lol, these diesel types :)
Welcome !
Polys squeak. You probably wouldn't notice inside a p38 cabin but to my mind, if they squeak then something isn't right.
Oh, and science. Clive covered that 😀
Direct Line insured my lowered BMW E30. Things may have changed since...

Underneath mine is clean, I had no options but to gunk and jet wash, the self lube chassis system went out of control.
If your gonna have a go I recommend a pair of safety Goggles, the crap goes everywhere
I definitely use goggles/glasses. I do have a Karcher/jetwash thing (mainly for cleaning concrete) but I have to use it in the street which is crap because I live on a blind bend! I generally run the cars through the car wash at the local Sainsbury's which sprays up underneath as well.
During winter salt season I get to the local jetwash every couple of weeks to try and keep the rot off.
But at least you can use the suspension to give you more room :)
