Need some LPG advice.

I'm considering a Range Rover Vogue SE 3.9 EFi that has an LPG system=20 installed, but the switch over control has failed.

I've been told the system installed is a Lovato system but I can't find=20 too much info on them. Are spares for this system easy to get hold of,=20 or are they pretty much universal, with one maker supplying everyone=20 with switches, another supplying tanks, and then the brands themselves=20 supplying everything in a kit in their own name?

I've been told the switch is about =A330 to buy, but just wonder what sort= =20 of experiece is going to be required to fit it? Will it be a plug fitt=20 connector, replacing a section of loom into a controller with screw=20 connectors, or require splicing into existing wires and/or the existing=20 loom?

On or around Sun, 11 Mar 2007 22:06:16 -0000, Elder enlightened us thusly:

The only Lovato one I've got is on the car, and has a push-button to control it - the button on mine failed and I wired a push-to-make switch up to it instead. It has a plug in the back to connect the wires.

If it is that type, it does autochange from Petrol to LPG. I have instructions somewhere for altering the revs at which the changeover happens...

Thanks. As it happens, I didn't win the car, someone from work who was=20 supposed to buy the Octavia hasn't been in, so I didn't have the funds=20 to bid.

Shame really, a black Classic Vogue Se 3.5 auto with T&T , looking very=20 good and just needing an LPG switch just sold for =A3800 on the bay of all= =20 things desirable.

If it just needed a switch then the seller would've fixed it and sold it working. The same goes for any unMOTed vehicles which the seller claims 'will fly through the MOT'. The sellers are liars, it's as simple as that.

I would have been willing to run on petrol while waiting to fix the LPG. Seller has very good feedback, and it sold previously, but the lpg=20 recently "failed".

Still, with black classics being rare, =A3800 with mot is pretty decent.
