Thanks, I will give that a go tomorrow, if that doesn't work, do think I should bypass the lpg mixer all together, once running properly I intend on having the gas system removed. Also can I do any damage running it the way it is atm, also should I try pulling the thermostat out and seeing if...

Another day another problem, I tightened the exhaust bolts slight difference, but didn't fix the issue, So I moved on to filling to car with coolant, front jacked up, started it 5 minutes later, noticed it was pouring out the bottle that is sitting where the radiator cap goes, then I noticed...

I do the same with all my regretfull sales/swaps

Give it a ring, may be surprised if it hasn't changed hands by now I would haha, I swapped mine for a turbo gti golf, then called the bloke 5 minutes later offered him 2k cash to swap back, wasn't interested, ahole

I'd chew my left nut off to have my vp ss back

I couldn't get 3.5 k for mine, 9yrs ago before holden shut seen it advertised for 12.5k after they shut then again for 19,000k was told it sold for 24 after that to the bloke who has it today. That's one car I do miss.

Allgood, cheers, I'm the same first 5L iv owned with cast manifold, I have found the issue, it's a simple fix, I should have looked before posting, but the thing is that slammed, I didn't have the time to get the jacks out and couldnt get my head under it, a mate did one bolt up more than the...

Sorry I meant without gaskets from factory, something else as in exhaust leak from cracked/**** manifold as mentioned earlier or something more sinister (dont know where else to look if its not manifold any syggestions), the car did sit since 2021 before I purchased it,saying that I did drive...

Good to know, cheers for the reply, will post once i have had a Suss of the manifold. Hopefully that fixes the issue. Hey immortality I came across another thread you commented on regarding an exhaust leak, you mentioned Holden bolting exhaust manifold straight to head with a gasket from...

Cheers immortality, I'll give that a go see how I go hopefully that's my issue, any other ideas to look for if that's not it, could we have fecked up shutting the exhaust valves, I'm not sure what the symptoms of that would be cheers

Here's a video of first start

The never ending story continues, hoping someone can help again, Got the bus back together, went to start it, and she is loud as, as if it had an exhaust leak or better yet sounds like there's no exhaust connected to drivers side manifold, has a new exhaust gasket, bolts are tight as far...

Cheers Deuce you have saved my ass once again, was confused as I purchased a complete heaterhose set but a few didn't match up, figured the last owner purchased by the meter and did his own thing, cheers for the help hopefully start the bus tomorrow, see if I fecked up anything in the process...

Just found this pic may have worked it out, please correct me if I'm wrong this is how I purchased the car so hopefully they were connected properly by previous owner as it had done a headgasket at some stage and some hoses were newer than others, sorry for being a pain in the ass appreciate...

First question. Does this hose in pic 1 connect to the t peice on passengerside of fuel rail. That goes to mixer ? Then the that runs under inlet manifold where does that connect at the rear of inlet side ? From.the third pic I'm left with the 2 hoses pretty sure the first is to t peice as...
