Other greater experts than me are on here Spiggy, but when it senses gas pressure is low it'll beep to warn you and then switch automatically to petrol, with the lights flashing to tell you that it's done it.
Unless if it's a single point system (which yours isn't), it'll gradually run out of power and if you continue to force it to run on gas, eventually it will either stop, or blow off the inlet manifold pipe :)
OK, joking aside, there are many people on here who will probably have english translations of the manual if you post exactly what system you have fitted
We do get snow here, up on t'moors mainly.
My "almost a Range Rover (it's only the body that isn't!)" outside the barn a few years ago:
Love the new picture Gordon. Just needs a bit of holly and a tinsel frame :)
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all...
Now you mention it, here's my old SAAB. More than a passing resemblance:

Oh dear... I know it says Range Rover on the back but it looks more like a old Saab 9-3 convertible now.... Verdict ? 4/10 - 'Must try harder'...
Well, finally found the missing Molex connector for the diagnostics. Will it do bad things if I plug the earliest version of the diagnostics that I have into the system without knowing exactly what I have?!
Apart from mine? No :)
There had to be a reason I couldn't get the ECU cover off, and the pulled out screw in the cruise mech fixing that allowed the whole thing to pivot was the reason.
The hoses were, of course, split as well :)
Idly wondering what Designmeister would choose to attach the cruise control throttle cable mech to the EAS airbox with 2 dinky self tap screws into plastic?
Hardly Land Rover robustness...
I'll be vaguely selling one of mine in a couple of weeks!

Random question, but did anything come of the ebay Rangie? I'm vaguely in the market for one now.
No probs Tony. I typed my original question in a rush last night as wanted to try to get the o ring sorted before my local bearing factors closed. Didn't explain it very well until I had a chance to open Microcat.
Not on this one, I don't think, Tony.
It sits in a U channel (red arrow) with one bolt on flange to hold in.

The O ring sits in a V shaped recess between flange and manifold, it does not slide in so it will be tight when the size is approx. The 3 bolts hold it tight.
Crossed in the mail Gordon! Thanks for that
It's ERR6434 ( back with Microcat now!)
Anyone know the size of the O ring that goes on the metal cooling pipe that plugs into inlet manifold?
No time before Xmas to order the genuine article and have it here so am going to have to go for a best guess and the original's in 3 bits.
The groove is 19 dia mm x 3mm. OD of pipe is 22.67mm
O ring looks like it could be 2.5mm
Long shot, I know...
I've ordered a bearing now. May as well do the job properly and leave the buyer of my old one at least a partially working aircon setup :)
I'm thinking how churlish it would be of me to swap all the expensive bits I've replaced on the old one onto the new one. Props, battery etc. That would make me a bad person....
wouldn't it ? :)
No probs, I've got lots of spot repairs to do on my paint so should be well practised by then!

Regarding Paint.... yes, mine is Java Black aswell - same 697 Paint code.. if you don't mind having a look at it, then would be much obliged!
Thanks for that.
I can at least pick up a 30BG05S2G-2DS bearing for it for a lot cheaper than a regas!
Changing the belt on my 02 today noticed that the A/C pulley is a bit noisy with a bit of play on it's bearings when giving it a spin. My 95 has a nice quiet one with no play, which is not used at the moment cos I've put a short belt on the car due to a firkin great rock hole in the condenser.
So, are they (the pulley and clutch assy) interchangeable? Seems too good to be true that I could do such a simple no-cost, no re-gas fix!
I wonder what else is different? I can't believe that they changed the machining of the casting just to stop people using the older type plugs.
OK, I'm now having a Victor Meldrew moment.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT
Nice new set of BPR6ES plugs going in. I know the PFR6N-11s are recommended and are what it had in it, but I'm quite happy to change the 6ES ones more frequently at half the price.
Get to #7, screws in nicely with fingers, as did the others. Go to put a socket on it to torque it and socket wont fit into recess in head.
Scratch head, put a dob of engineers blue on washer to make sure it's parallel to seat and hasn't been helicoiled crooked or something. Good contact all the way around seat.
I must have a weird casting, or something stupid. Not about to take a Dremel to head casting so have now had to lash out £50 on a set of PFR6N-11's.
In the meantime I've got the best of the old 6N-11's in #7.
Anyone want to buy a set of virtually unused 6ES's ?!
On the subject of paint Marty (hijacking my own thread slightly), what colour/ code is your RR?
We were talking a while ago about fixing a rust spot on your roof and I said it would be difficult to do a spot repair due to the metallic finish.
My new RR is black (Java- 697), but that's not micatallic so maybe yours isn't either.
If that's the case, a spot repair is easily doable.
I could easily blow it in for you at Winter Camp.
