Will be getting a bluetooth OBDII unit as well to run in the back ground.
Im waiting on a new double din unit to arrive, the only thing left working on this one is the SD card for tunes and the TVQuote:

Filled up the new second hand long range auxiliary tank only to find out the drain plug washer is seeping fuel. Ugh!
Hope you have a big container :(Quote:

Finally removed my roof platform, boy how dirty can a roof get lol
Tell me about it. I take the roof rack off mine maybe twice a year and give the roof a cut and polish, then 300 layers of wax.Quote:

300 layers enough you think or should I apply 350lol
some how a stick from the tree out the front has put a dent in the roof,
no biggie but I know its there GGGRRRrrr
I have mine suspended from the roof in the garage when its off. So I can just park underneath and lower it down when I put it back on...Quote:

Found out what a major PITA changing gloves is, especially on passenger side. Much much easier to remove the headlight assembly.
Saves a lot of skin, blood, nerves and swear words...

Good results.

I did the same. What a turd obviously designed for tiny handed menQuote:

Going to the brother-in-laws tomorrow so might ask him or his brother if they can suss it out for me. I'm a boilermaker by trade not a elecko and not very good with electronics. lol
GQ's are the same. I recently upgraded my globes and in the end the passenger side headlamp was removed. Just no room behind it to get ya hand in behind it. Damn pre-cleaner is in the way. lolQuote:

Well not today, but a week ago I put a carbi kit through after the dissy played up, as I though I had a tank of bad lpg as it misfired and backfired after leaving the servo near Bundanoon/Exeter. Played with the float again, solved most of my problems with a can of carbi cleaner and found that the float drop setting is just as important as its height(full) setting. Now it fills and stops on the sight glass dot, although the fuel return solenoid is stuck permanently in the full open position, which I assume will mean I lose some of my fuel bowl filling pressure at higher engine speed.
After rekitting the carb, I found a small rubber plug on the driveway, yesterday. The Gregorys manual shows a pic of it, it goes next to the accel plunger, manual says ball, spring, weight, PLUG. Dammit, I looked at the thing for a while and it didn't seem entirely unfamiliar to me. I pulled the carbi apart a few years ago with the same dramas, after neglecting to use the petrol system for too long, and recalled a small plug between the top cover and the main carbi body. The carbi still started on petrol without it, but stalled like it had been on lpg, which turned out to be the ignition module in the rb30 dissy playing silly buggers with me. One minute I had spark, next I didn't.
So, about today. I have to put the rubber plug back in. I hate finding left over bits. At least I hadn't driven around on the petrol and thought I had more issues, as the lpg is running without this tiny bung in place.
I could have saved a lot of time, and diagnosed the dissy problem straight away, if I had kept the petrol side up to scratch.
