    But at least you found your problem

    My kit is a KME Deigo which is one of the cheaper kits but the install is spot on with all the pipework even in length. I'm very pleased with the results.

    R134a has a very tiny molecule you won't stop it leaking with the tape. Replacing the pipes is the only way

    I know Kwik Fit did have an offer on so might be worth checking. Bradley refrigeration will do it at there workshop but not sure of cost.

    I was not convinced the compressor was seized in the first plase they normally throw belts if that is the case
  6. bookend
    If you get it gassed if it doesn't run get a supply to the compressor from the battery and see if you get nice cold air. If it all works then its something in the control circuit stopping it from running. I would be really surprised if there is something wrong with the compressor.

    I don't think I would buy a car that only travels short distances they never properly warm up. It does them good to have a decent run now and again.

    As it now has no gas in I won't think you will get any power off the loom as it will be out on LP switch a wiring diagram will be the best way.

    Let us know the results of the tests. There isn't that much to go wrong really

    Have just checked my figures and my average since conversion in 20.93 mpg over the total mileage
  11. bookend
    I have my moments but those figures are fairly consistent since having the system tuned. I keep a record at every fill up its ready for it's 10 k LPG service and the figures are just starting to drop slightly. When I first had it fitted the figures were poor but the system was calibrating itself and needed balancing but there was a noticeable improvement after its 1k service

    Just checked my spreadsheet my LPG figures are on the LS 430 Long run 23.56 mpg Around town 19.4 mpg Lowest ever heavy Trafic 16.59 mpg
  13. bookend
    When I had my 430 done the economy improved after they made some adjustments on the 1000 mile check.

    You will hear a click any the clutch should lock as one peice
  15. bookend
    The stator should have two connections one for power and the other to earth.
  16. bookend
    Check its resistance from memory it should be about 3.2 - 3.5 ohms
  17. bookend
    It's normally the stator that goes
  18. bookend
    There is a section on testing and dissemble in the manual
  19. bookend
    It sounds like the clutch has gone and not the comp seized. You should be able to replace just the clutch.
  20. bookend
    It it turns over and makes a sucking noise its not seized. can you put power to the clutch from a car battery to see if it locks up? then the whole assembly should turn.

    Buy a foot pump

    Ask for Gary at Lexus Sheffield he will sort you out
  23. bookend
    I deal with Gary at Lexus Sheffield and he allways does a good price for older cars :)
  24. bookend
    I agree but you need to sort it as part on the sale agreement. If you don't I can't see how you can complain afterwards. If I buy I allways specify a full tank and most sellers agree without increasing the price. If its not full then you can haggle on the price
  25. bookend
    If you have a 150 mile drive to collect after veiwing and havent agreed for the car to have fuel in it when you agree the price then i dont think you can complain if its empty.
