[have the ghia wagoon left] yeah i wouldn't mind some pictures on how the brake and clutch cancel works, connected. if its no trouble. |

ahh ya there would not have been much of a difference between the two diffs not even a noticeable difference
what would you pick if you could chose any ratio ? |

oh will it just end???
now its looking like the lpg tank needs to be changed out. the afl (auto fill limiter) is not working, been able to over fill the tank 4 times in a row at different servo's bowsers etc i'm speaking in regards a 83litre water capacity tank. can only fill to 80% of it for safety reasons and expansion. been able to put anywhere between 67 to 77 litres in it, from dead empty. its now empty again.. and i'll be trying not to use the lpg till i get it rectified or max fill 30 ish litres from empty if i must the fuel guage has stopped working before i swapped the wiring over anyways, hence why i wasnt fussed about the lack of a guage at the moment.. photo's of the current sprint tank will be posted later. anyone got any suggestions of lpg mechanics in eastern melbourne i could have a chat to to suss out the problem? as if i need to spend money retesting the tank to fix it.. i have a indate tank that everything works at the olds thats actually full that i can swap and get the lines reconnected current tank has 4 1\2 years left on it btw. |

I have heard stories regarding people modifying the auto fill limiter to cram anther 5-10L in when filling up , crazy i know but i guess if you do not have a completely full tank on a 30C+ day you shall be fine |

well got some answers on how much and how hard it will be to rectify the problem with the tank..
been quoted about $260 - $300 in parts alone. tank needs to be removed and it needs to be retested after repairs. bugger so my other tank from my old ghia will be retested. $100 - $150 to get tested, and a 6 pack to get the lines hooked up as i'll swap the tanks over myself.. and i get to use the setup i'd made to use the dash guage on lpg. couldnt get the correct ohm's range sender for the sprint tank anyways other than that. my sisters nf is keeping me busy. turns out that, it has lunched the auto was serviced 20 thou ago and its slipping. oil is burnt and the colour of coca cola.. lucky i have that au auto still then i suppose. just the fun of helping to swap box's and flushing out the trans cooler lines etc. and getting it somewhere it can be worked on. as you can imagine it isnt being driven far if it can be helped. or it will be made to drag its sorry a*** to mum and dads, where the box swap can also be done (likely) |

an update if anyone cares..
lpg tank has been swapped for a in-date unit now. was going to get my apa tank from the ghia tested, but a mate was getting rid of his apa tank from a wreck. all it cost was a pack of smokes and was just over half full ,so a decent score there so soon i'll have the wire and relays to make a start on getting the fuel guage to work with lpg again. other than that.. cruise control is now fitted turns out all my wiring for it in the dash column etc was all there. plug the modules in and run the vac lines for it. and swap the steering wheels over. and it all works as it should. its now weird getting used to cruise control in a manual e series as its been a fair while that i've had a manual car with cruise control. i only have the brake cancel hooked up at the moment. as i couldnt find my spare bits to splice into the brake cancel for the clutch. so to come off cruise. i have to tap the brakes or press the coast button first. |

also would anyone know how to remove the glue from the drivers door wind deflector?
i'm going to be removing mine as its sun damaged and goes a opaque colour in twilight or in the rain. which is downright annoying and unsafe really. |

well time for some pictures..
spot the difference in tanks.. old setup on tank that wasnt working.. now what i'm using.. yet to wire in a guage though lol cruise wise.. works a treat. i'll put up pics if wanted.. but i finally pulled apart the omvl that was failing. needless to say the lpg places that told me the wax buildup stain was nothing. even being told i could smell lpg at times. so glad i pulled it off now though, but i know where not to go when i get the lpg tune seen to. most of the screws werent overly tight, and i figured out why i could smell lpg this side was clean.. but being the vac part of the 2nd half i wasnt expecting lots. now this made me s**t myself.. pretty obvious that the diaphram had failed and was leaking.. maybe its a good thing i dont smoke? explains to a point why my economy was sucking a little when i ran it on lpg? |
