    Explorer PC

    Why not install windows on a usb stick and boot from that? A standard drive is always going to be a problem, unless you dampen the case. IT looks well good,

    who runs lpg then??

    I cant find the Screwfix one either so Fleabay item number 150255320969 or search on OBD2 reader If you disconnect the battery the engine management has to learn from scratch so i think its best to clear the codes. Also if you leave the MIL light on it runs on a predefined table of...

    who runs lpg then??

    The reason for the light on is simple. the LPG system only looks at one exhust sensor so, when they are out of balance by somehting like 0.2 this triggers a code error (171 or 172 for lean), only when its done it twice in so many starts does the light come on. the easy way to get rig of...

    Self levelling rear suspension checks

    The other way of testing it is to disconnect the sensor arm from the rear axle and push it up. The Suspension should think that the rear of the car is lowered due to weight in the boot, now the pump should run. also it is possible for the pump to be faulty and the light not to indicate it on...
