So... The Hdi went in favour of the Alhambra, didn't go far though as gave it to father-in-law.
According to him, he got in it and it started, he pulled off about 3feet then it cut out on him, flashed the stop light a few times and never started again. Unfortunately it chose the totally wrong time to throw its first ever hissy fit in four years as it cost him a job he was meant to be starting that day. And since then its been dead as a dodo outside his.
He thought it could be fuel starvation issues so we've checked the LP pump (was genuine new 4 years ago when I bought the car) thats still working. So opened the fuel filter housing to see if there actually was fuel as when I opened the drain nothing came out (snapped one of the prongs on the lid so need ne lid for housing if anyones got one?) and it wasn't full but there was fuel. He's adamant there should be enough fuel to get it started. Took a while to get enough charge to turn it over and its turning well but just not firing.
obviously cant do anything now till i get a new lid but anything else I should check? All lights inside come on and go out as they should.
Gonna have to tow it / have it recovered to mine and have a tinker as he's given up thrown in the towel and cancelled his insurance then if it fires will be up for sale if not may break or sell as spares. So for now any pointers?
