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

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 ?
