    I replaced a dodgy TPS on a late D1 a few months ago, it had very similar symptoms. In that case it has a simple LPG mixer system that continued to work normally. With injected LPG it's going to follow the petrol fault. IMHO D1's are too primitive to make good use of LPG injection, but that's another matter. If you have a good TPS just swap it. New ones are seriously expensive, used ones appear on ebay occasionally.

    Without hijacking the thread just out of curiosity what's a decent mixer for a 3.9? I have 3 lpg setups on 3 different cars that I don't use. 3.5? rodeo efi, xf 4.1 carb and the one off the 186 in the series. I wasn't thinking of going down the LPG route but I have all the gear and tanks to do so, any of this worth putting in there all impco ones.

    Cheers jim

    Impco (aka "the Boston Strangler") has no place in my LPG repertoire. Just about anything European gives better torque.

    My experience with injected gas .the wiring loom to the injectors (petrol) needed to be cut and the lpg wiring loom spliced in so the lpg computer would receiv a signal from the original ecu and use it to control the gas injectors. Could there be a connection issue in this area.

    Ok i can confirm its fixed.

    Went out and connected roverguage and got this in the errors.

    Checked the connection to the TPS and sure enough it was not connected properly.
    Reconnected correctly and then cleared the codes using roverguage.

    Went for a drive and ran as expected.

    Thankyou for your assistance guys.
