jasonl, can you ask your brother the following question please?
On an engine converted to LPG the petrol ECU only is reporting a long term fuel trim of -17%.
How do I go about correcting this please?

hit it with a lump hammer???

jasons brother will probably do you a deal..... you tell him why you charge £600 for a pump that other suppliers sell for £340 and he'll answer your question

[JandS]

£384 all in.

[Martin Cox]

I know how to correct the problem, I was wondering if Jasons brother came to the same conclusion as me

[Shaun_Ashmore]

He'll tell you if you give him £300

I suspect it could open the doors for other suppliers to offer services for HM customers who don't want to pay the £100, you could lose customers overnight just be careful!

If you buy a car from a main dealer its runs out of warranty and you start having probs do you get them to give you advice to sort it out for free  . i dont think so.   If this is way hm want to go fair play . Martin is a very good and for non mechanically minded people like myself explains things very well more than happy to part with £100 for the backup .

[davep]

Also happy to pay over the odds for parts?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

You can take the advice and pay for the part elsewhere that is the main issue I suppose but the advice comes at a cost.

Martin , you are way over your head , why would you try and argue with the Chartered engineer/CEO of a leading process engineeering company and ask a basic engine fuelling question that your average grease monkey in a ford dealership could answer.(by the way , I would check anyone of a number of items)   Have you spent 5 years at uni becoming an engineer , plus 15 working Globally on processes , oh , didnt think so.

Why not accept that you are selling components neatly packaged together.  

Nothing more , nothing less

Well jasonl it's a little more complicated than a simple rotary scrubber like you have, I could make one out of an old dustbin lid and an old washing machine motor and an old pole for the handle.

[Tom Bennett]

I bought my truckmount from HM over 6 year ago and in that time I've had to contact them regarding problems and parts.
Martin has always attempted to talk me through the problems, sometimes he's been on the line for over half an hour, be fair somebody is paying his wages.
Whilst I was a little surprised by the proposed costs at first, sitting down and thinking about it, I've realised that it's a price worth paying.
The £100s or whatever can soon be earned back by the machine being in being fully operational.

I thought J used a TM now?

I have got a TM too !  Its not complex or that great either , yes it sprays hot water ,and sucks floods up well , but what a faff about !

Any decent fitter can fix them cheaper than the dealers , as for Prochem , I am still waiting for a call back despite calling 3 times , in the end I got a local pressure washer guy to sort a pressure regulator , he had them in stock , 40 quid , fitted free in 30 mins.

Also, my rotary was £700 quid new , and apart from pat testing and one new cable , has never had a penny  spent on it.

I love it when someone feels so threatened by their own lack of subject knowledge that they have to invent some world authority, who knows more about our subject matter than anyone else on earth and just so happens to conveniently be a relative to back him up. 

[jasonl]

like your relative you have referred to who is a "litigation lawyer"  very broad area that is .

Are you on linked in  ? look him up its all genuine .

[Simon Gerrard]

Not a relative, he's my son and works at a large law firm in Manchester. But Iam not making grandiose statements in his name, I can fight my own corner all on my little ownsome, shame you can't, but hey ho, it keeps us entertained.

[jasonl]

I am sorry , what is grandiose about repeating a simple statement .

I have spent a lot of time with my brother working on equipment(a vast improvement over what was available previously) , eventually selling the company for a nice figure .
