Oh **** I have broken my lpg

volvobuyer10 · Dec 12th, 2010, 23:54

Well I managed to break my switch over switch yesterday.

I was fitting a new centre console as it was ripped out for the police before me.

How can I get it fixed? Its flashing an orange light and 2 green lights are also flashing.

As far as I can see the nearest lpg garage / service place is falkirk (I live in Aberdeen) Can anyone find me a local place?

Thanks.

Does the Bridge of Don Shell place not have LPG? I think Inverurie does as well.

I mean for servicing and repairs not for fuel

Unless there is a shell garage (not petrol)??

My bad, I thought you were running dry!

I really don't know about LPG repair though. There must be somewhere surely around the North East though. If not then there's a gap in the market!

These people do switches, if you can spot the correct one it just plugs back on. There is a ting plug at the back of it.

just put switch into their search and it will show you a list of them.

Why do you need an lpg specialist? It's only a switch after all.

I would have thought any auto electrician or even someone with quite basic electrical knowledge should be able to sort it out for you, even if it's just a temporary fix to keep you going.

Have you pulled a wire out or physically broken the switch in some manner?
How many wires go to the switch?

I have a BRC 56 on my Vectra. I had the same issue. Flashing orange, and the centre 2 lights flashing green at approx 1 second intervals. It turned out the LPG ECU had gone down, and needed replacing. Luckily mine was still in warranty

I hope yours isn't the same issue, but only an LPG specialist can tell for sure. Changing the switch will be the first thing to do if you are hoping for a DIY fix. Hopefully the flashing lights just mean an issue, and not a specific issue

Cant be ecu as the lpg works - found out today when it ran out and automatically moved back to petrol as I get a big jerk from the changeover if at speed or accelerating at the time. So it looks like I just need the switch?
