Re: No Idle on 1.9dg Petrol, but fine on LPG

On petrol, are you sure it’s only on petrol? Its not unknown for dual fuel systems to run on both when they should only be on one , admittedly it normally petrol not shutting off totally and adding some petrol through on LPG , but its worth checking .  Switch the lpg off and run til the engine stops...

Re: Please help identify rubber pipe

It’s shouldn’t have any clips or clamps, its low pressure vacuum only , so as long as its air tight its good . No need to be braided just needs to not kink and allow coolant through and back   The system is very simple....  The headertank ( the one in the engine bay ) should always be full to the br...

Re: Oil Light and Buzzer

Reading through this , first thing that calls out to me is mixing mineral and synthetic will do no favors ……
secondly , the low pressure light only comes on above 2000 rpm , and in the first instances when engine is up to temp and after slowing from a warm run.

Re: Solar panels only provide trickle charge

The key in your question is where you tell us the charge controller has a usb outlet….   It’s chineasium "pooh" ! It’s a cheap token controller . Swap it out for a MPPT controller , but first  Disconnect the panel from it and read the voltage on the panel down leads in just day light . If ...

Re: Dashboard issues

Sat in the drivers seat reach up above your right knee under the dash the 14pin loom plug for the dash cluster is reachable , give it a push and a “jiggle” 
if that wont make any difference , as has been said above , take the top off the dash pod and investigate that way down

Re: Why did my fuse box melt?

Cheap nasty fuse ? Often really cheap fuses dont blow when they should , but 
Generally dirty ,loose , bad connections get hot , which makes them dirty , loose worse connections and the cycle only gets worse , hotter looser , melted . 

 you could have a chaffing issue on the wire elsewhere ?
