Those cargo area side panels are good huh? At least you started with a Mont EB or what have you - The FUTURA EF a*** doesn't even have fake carpet up the sidewalls - it's all loverly gray plastic. Awesome stuff...
About time you did the interior with LEDs. I'm starting to swap some of my blue ones for white ones - and three or four LEDs have actually died. The two under the dash for footwell light, the shifter light (no longer required) and the centre console light for rear passenger footwells. Died. Dead. Nudda. Cheap a*** LEDs - must by them from somewhere reputable like tricky d**k in future. The blue light is cool, but does make finding small objects at 1am a complicated experience. |

Well, yes at least mine had carpet, that was falling off and had an odd scent about it. The plastics in mine were all cracked and broken too. fiend wrote: About time you did the interior with LEDs.

I did consider some coloured LEDs but having seen Snaps wagon with the White LEDs, I chose to go with the white ones. Adds that touch of class I like. ashcook wrote: That steering wheel looks sweet Benj. Matches the car much better. Goes well with the shifter too! Thanks Ash. This wheel is similar in the colour design to the wheel I am looking at to buy in the near future. Being able to use this one for a bit just confirms my wheel choice. phillis wrote: Ive been lurking this thread for a while, and this is my first time post- amazing car mate. incredible. Awww thanks phillis. phillis wrote: One question though, what are the specs of the LEDs you put in the interior? Whered you get them from? Jaycar? Ebay? the look great! I will leave that to Snap to reply to as he supplied the LEDs. Cheers BenJ

The White LED's do indeed look great. Did you use led globe replacements, or just manually wire them in?

Ebay specials, http://www.besthongkong.com/ 50 000 mcd - had them a while, IIRC about $20 for about 50 with resistors.A few years ago, quality wasn't crash hot with the overseas items, but recently they've picked up. Jaycar are pretty expensive, and some items like their LED dome lights, seem to fail fairly regularly.

Thanks Snap.
Small update. This morning the I drove the Wagon on LPG to the Station, all of 30secs drive (yes, I am lazy) and as I was pulling in to reverse park, the car stalled. Tried to start it, it fired and after 10 secs stalled again. So I switched to petrol, parked the car and went to work. After work I tried to start the Wagon again on LPG, it fired and stalled again after 10 secs. So after driving home on Petrol, I did the first obvious thing which is to undo the last thing I did. I removed the EL Tickford LPG ECU and put back the EL Ghia ECU. TADA!!!! All fixed. The Dual Fuel ECU was a dud. Oh well. Will keep an eye out for another one. Oh, and I got some more done on the headlights too. BenJ

I timed mine and it shuts down after 45sec.... as soon as u switch back to petrol maps its fine.... the ecu controls the fuel pump relay...if your using it as a lpg shutoff then this will happen... u got a diagram of how u wired up your system?

I drove around for a whole day and a half with the Dual Fuel ECU in and it was working fine. My wiring works on the principal that it defaults to petrol. If the LPG is not turned on, then the car operates as per factory. Only when LPG is on, is the Fuel Pump, Injectors etc disabled, and the LPG stuff enabled. Cheers BenJ
