AND FOUND THAT THE SWITCH FOR THE FUEL WAS DEAD (NO LIGHTS ON IT) WHEN I TURNED THE IGNISHION ON THE LIGHTS ON THE SWITCH LIGHTS CAME ON BUT WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OVER (START IT) THE LIGHTS ON THE SWITCH WENT OUT AND THE SWITCH WAS DEAD AGAIN AND NOW WHEN I DO IT THE LIGHTS WONT COME ON AT ALL
SO I PHONED A COMPANY THAT SELL THE SYSTEM THE BLOKE TOLLED ME ITS THE DISSY AS THERE IS NO RPM OFF IT THE LPG SYSTEM WOULD SHUT OFF IN TO SAFE MODE SO I GOT A HOLE NEW DISSY FITTED IT TONIGHT AND STILL NOTHING
HAS ANY ONE HAD SOME THING LIKE THIS OR HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS CHEERS

Harvey, TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK PLEASE!
I will guarantee the quick fix - I do a lot of repairs on landrovers and your fault is exactly as has been explained yet you don't seem to want to listen, just SHOUT!
Remove lower steering/dash cowl, locate harness from ignition switch, splice in a piece of 10Amp cable to the white/grey trace, feed out through a grommet to engine bay and route to positive side of coil. Fault will now be fixed permanently.
The spider does, as you have been told, have 2 circuits - one to the coil and one to the starter solenoid.
If you won't listen to what's said by a lot of experienced people, choosing instead to believe the voice of one person (that obviously doesn't know his spider from his antelope!), then don't complain if your next question receives no response. And please, turn off your caps lock!!!!
