Re: Ford factory fit fuel pump replacement

To evacuate the gas depends on what you have to hand. Do do have a pump that you can use to fill your car and an empty gas bottle. Do you intend to evacuate the tank in situ or will you first remove the tank from the vehicle. Do you know how much gas is in the tank. If is full then it will be very ...

You need to remove the top cover on the lpg tank and check the solonoid and the electrical conections on the solonoid. If the solonoid has had it then it can be replaced. However it may not be the ...

Mondeo factory fitted - will not switch over

Hi,
From your answer I assume that it's a 1.8 with a zetec e engine. Just above the astray you should have a push switch. With the ignion on, but without the engine running you need to press this switch so that it light's up. If you now start the car up, it will start on petrol first and then it ...

Hi to everyone,
I have since purchased and fitted a flashlube kit which cost me around £40.00. I fitted it myself which was easy enough. I have adjusted it as best I can and it appears to be functioning as it should. The reason that I decided on the flash lube kit was to do with cost. After removing ...

Hi,
It would be best to obtain a ford TIS disk from ebay. The disk holds a wealth of circiut infomaton on the Vialle system and all of the ford production lpg models. If I remember correctly the last TIS disk produced was for 2004.

Hi,
That's an outrageous thing to make you do. I would not be happy. I would ask them to meet my costs for both my time and trouble. I know that I would have a fight on my hands, but it would be a matter of principle.

Hi,
Are you saying that you have a photocopy of a fax or is it a fax of the certificate its self. If its a fax of the original certificate then the faxed document should be treated as a legal document unlike a photo copy.

Hope this helps.
