Hi, is anybody out there?, Pete.

Best to crack out the multimeter and find out what's getting power and what isn't. It's hard to know where to start until you can establish that.

I had my 245 GL converted 10 years ago.

In that time I have had............

The power cable to the tank solinoid in the boot failed. Rewired twice. Goes passed the front suspension and along underneath the car.

Crimped connections to solinoids at the vapouriser.

Solinoid connected to vapouriser and earth.

2 years ago got a refrub. set for the Groot system for £35 and changed all the gaskets and 'O' rings.

Burnt out first exhaust valve in August 09 at 275k on gas (total 414k). Lumpy idle and worst, was the back-fire distroying plastic items of the air intake.

All very sweet now.

56.9ltr at the moment at A1 Hire and Shell in Bouremouth.

Provided there is no cable damge and eh fuses are ok then you are lloking at either a faulty switch or ecu. Not much else to go wrong.
