I have dug out the Atiker V6 LPG wiring loom for a little work. The combined LPG change over
switch and led fuel level indicator(won't call it a fuel gauge as only 4 led's for that and a led to
indicate lpg or petrol!) The button is a contact montory switch which the metal contact is stuck
to the sticky plastic cover, which as the cover had lost it's stickiness been separated from the
cover and lost.
As I never liked these switches, but it is still needed in the setup, I need a better switch!
That was easly done from the local electronics store. I have soldered ywo wires to the contact
face on the circuit board of the switch/display and tinned all of the wires for batter connection
later. Oh and I placed the old switch/display in a screw top plastic little tub so I can see inside
while installing it in the car for fault finding and to stap the connections being damaged!
I will be looking at getting a new stereo adapter plate organised before Christmas so the push
button and toggle switches can be fitted better above the stereo on the car. I have yet to figure
out where best to place the LPG ecu due to the limited space under the bonnet.
There will be more work being done on the LPG wiring loom during the bad weather. I am still
waiting on a reply regarding car spares for a spare dash panel before I go further with the old
one.
Well one of the reasons I haven't been able to touch the car is the weather the other is this
little nut job!! She is a cross but we don't know what, and is hyper at the moment, and easily
scared. Yes she is a rescue dog, we thought it best to get another as Rocky has been looking
lonely, heaven help the poor sod now!
Before I go to the Whitby Kustom Car Show on Saturday, I thought it best to do the basics on
Mother's astra. The oil level fine, no mayonase on the dip stick but oil looked a little black.
I don't know why but I lifted the filler cap!
The coolant looks okay, but I knew this car was going to be trouble, but they never listen!
So far that thing delays me putting my car back on the road as it drains the money I need.
It's had clutch, gearbox, rear struts and springs, brake discs pads and front hoses, filter box,
mid section of exhaust and tyres, ans a service!
It needs, head gasket doing(possibly water pump and more), rear wheel bearing(s?) New tyres
and wheels(alloys showing it!) tracking(again)
Heading down is one thing, how I get back is another!!!!!!!!!!
I will be taking it easy but I will be driving it down to Whitby, I have road side assistance, & an
Android tablet will loads of movies to watch for while waiting around for the RAC to turn up!

I have stripped down the old Voyager fusebox the connectors in the fusebox I can modify to work
in the mk1 neon's structure. I have decreased them using white spirit and will tin the ready for
working on the car so less time needed outside. Shame I couldn't do the same with the rest but
the car won't fit in the bedroom.
