If the light is on, then it should have stored a fault code(s). Best thing to do is to get it / them read out and go from there.

Lots of problems on this system can be cured with a good flushing of the system. Dealers don't seem to understand what they're dealing with as it's an addition to the standard car.

Can I post a link here DD - it's just another forum?

I don't see why not. If there are any issues, then it's nothing a quick edit won't sort out.

Hi,

If you goto

www.my90.co.uk/lpg/viewtopic.php?t=6365

That should give you some good info. Generally the member with the knowledge on Vauxhall LPG is 'pjpj'.

There's also a thread called 'WD40 & brake cleaning fluid cleaning', searching for WD40 should bring that up.

Hope you get it sorted out.

Steve.
