Anybody ??? I need this urgently for tomorrow because I have the gas conversion man coming up to change it to a closed loop system. Will not bore you all with the details, but I had this converted last week & although it has a cat, I have only got an open loop system (which I have been advised is bad news for the CAT) Many thanks & sorry to make my first post a request, we tend to find

OMVL Dream 21N - '96 RR 4.6 HSE by Mark Rowbotham
Hi, 2 questions. 1. Where can I download the Dream 21N software as I have lost my laptop which it was installed on? 2. I have a 4.6 HSE Rangie with the dream system fitted, the only strange thing is it is using both petrol and gas when running on gas - any ideas? Cheers

Honda Accord ALDESA multi-point by chuckie888
I've just had a 2001 Honda Accord 1.8 VTEC S converted to a ALDESA multi-point system with flashlube but am experiencing problems; I am getting an erratic idle, it's ok and fast upon initial start but then stutters to 200-300rpm when just warmed up and then is ok again then fast after a a hard run (hot). I believe these are the symptoms of an air leak but the installer insists there isn't one. ...

fuel registration by david.cawkwell@tesco.net
You write off the DVLA telling them the car has been modified to run on both and they will make it dual fuel. I had a Hyundai sonata and it has dual fuel on the log book. I wonder if the DVLA want to see any proof. Or what is stopping anybody registering their car as dual fuel and therefore avoiding the congestion charge in London.

Mercedes C200 with high petrol emissions by Peter Cooper
Thanks for the helpful replies so far :) No warning lights, etc. The car is a Merecedes C200 (petrol) from 1995. The LPG conversion is a rather old type (over 6 years old) that uses a French style connector rather than the bayonet (great fun with the adaptor :)).. if any of that gives anyone any ideas :) Will see if I can take it round to my local MOT place just to get the emissions tests done...

Does running on LPG affect petrol emissions? by Peter Cooper
I've been running on LPG for about six years now. I've run on petrol from time to time just to make sure it still runs, but not for long. Last year I accidentally left the switch on petrol for the MOT and.. it failed spectacularly on emissions. These were no slightly high emissions.. they were miles off the scale. Back on LPG, however, it passed with flying colours. So.. could running on LPG...
