  1. Hi, Has anyone changed the rear arm bushes and if so what kind of job is it? Thanks Paul.
  2. Great thanks for that. I do need the ECU and switch as later switches again are incompatible but until I get an ECU that power up I can’t prove the switch is ok, so any known to be working spares are good to get hold of. I have also posted this on the LPG site already but it’s not a very active site as the number of LPG users seems to be very few and diminishing. I know that I have seen a few RX’s for sale with LPG over the years and hoped I might possibly find spares from a scrapped or crashed one, albeit a long shot. I will try the guy that you have mentioned. Thanks again.
  3. Hi Herbie, The faulty ECU’s don’t power up properly. I had an LPG guy come and put his computer on the system. I bought another one in the hope that it would work but it didn’t. Because the ECU’s are integrated into the engine management system, you can’t remove them from the car even if they don’t work, as it stops the car working. If I could find a repairer then the spare one could be done leaving the car still usable. The system is old and therefore the ECU’s are obsolete and new ones are incompatible. Buying second-hand from Eastern Europe seems a bit risky and rarely do they state that it is fully functional ECU. I may end up having to partly or fully replace the system, if it’s economically viable, or just continue to run on petrol but obviously if a good ECU is out there somewhere that would be preferable and a lot cheaper! Thanks
  4. Hi folks, I am trying to hunt down the above for my 2004 RX. The LPG was installed in 2008. If anyone has the above items or knows of possible whereabouts please let me know. This would be very much appreciated. I have 2 u/s ones and have tried to find someone to repair them but without success. If anyone knows of a repairer that would be great. Sometimes they appear for sale on the net but usually abroad which I’m not sure that I could trust. Please note that it has to be a 6 cyl. spec one. thanks Paul.
  5. Yes thanks Steve, that looks like the offending article with the little solenoid valve beside it. That identifies it but the question now is what exactly does the vacuum switching system do?
  6. Does anyone have a good LPG tank or know of any breakers that might have one? I also want a set of mudflaps. Thanks
  7. Hi folks, I recently changed a pipe manifold for the auto box oil cooling and unwittingly had accidentally disconnected a small rubber pipe on a solenoid valve attached to a cylindrical component on the bottom of the engine at the front on the nearside ( as per the pics ). This led to a ticking noise when the engine was running. I have now put the pipe back on and all is ok but I am curious as to what the component is. Any ideas please?
  8. Anyone know what the small solenoid valve is at the bottom front of the engine just behind the front X member, slightly to right of centre. It has 2 6mm plastic pipes to it. I have just changed the pipe attached to the X member that’s near to it, which is a manifold for the auto box cooling. The solenoid is chattering and maybe because I have the underslung covers off I can hear it, which normally perhaps I wouldn’t. I don’t think it’s anything to do with what I have done changing the manifold or that I have damaged it in the process. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance.
  9. Have replaced the pipe, it cost £97 but grateful it was still available for a 17 year old car. Thanks for all the help, Paul.
  10. Steve, yes that’s the one, brill. Will try and order it if still available. Thanks Paul
  11. Thanks guys. Pic of panel to remove, I am assuming the servos are behind it???
  12. Thanks herbie, I did wonder if I might have to make one. Thanks Steve, I think it’s the one in the bottom left hand corner which has 2 brackets attached and in the general shape of a U but the picture doesn’t show it fully.
