ok 2day i did the ECU (paperclip check) came up 12 - all clear dats fine.. but if i open her up on the open road when speed hits about 110 115kmh check engine light comes on. but it didn't come up with the error today so i took for a bit of a sprint and really opened it up and the cheeky bitch didnt flash the check engine light WTF i'm really confused and im in the process of making the ecu to pc link (hard wiring it) into the glove box would this be safe)

My 5.0 VS Statesman converted to LPG about three months ago has developed a very strong fuel smell in the cabin, especially when I run the air conditioner. I've been told it could be the fuel filter, any suggestions? Has anyone else had the same problem?

Try changing the throttle position sensor (TPS) cost about $25 from local holden dealer, takes about an hour to install. Located on the throttle body. It is necessary to remove throttle body!! And you need a 1.5mm torx bit to remove and install.

The location of the oil filter is a complete PITA...any tips on catching/preventing excess oil dripping down everywhere when spinning the filter off? (apart from putting a drain hole in thedamn thing first!!)
