Hi Stephan if you can afford to do both modifications it should take you a hour or two. You can make your own sleepy eye kit very easy look at the bg guide a few wires a 3 way toggle switch male and female connectors and use the existing fuse in your engine bay fuse box. It will look awesome 8).

I no longer have the sleepy eye kit :cry: after changing the engine Loom to the gtr it dont have the retractor fuse for the pop up lights ( bgs come in all variants shapes ect) surely there must be a way around it.
I Even had the sleepy eye kit working fine with the gtx engine Loom and the gtx ain't got pop up lights :x :?: :cry:

I know it will look great. Even I saw it and I think so do it. All I need is the switch with 3 positions and a male and female monitor connectivity. I have a piece of wire.
A Laguna bumper conversation is frozen until I get to a little bit of money.

Too bad we do not have more sleepy eye. But there may be a way to put. :?

Little bit of wrong translation from cro to eng... :lol: :lol:
Not "you get to a little bit of money" -> "I get to a little bit of money"... f*** google translator...

I guess there is a way. But without money nothing. I found on a couple place , parts of the Renault Laguna. For something a little less than £11.50 without shipping (+ approximately £10). But I don't have money.
And yes, I had to buy another bumper of the Mazda, which is an additional £ 40th.
Why another Mazda bumper. This my on car is little damaged under light (position + blinkers). Care would then be used for Laguna bumper conversion. A second "new" would be left for the MOT. Surely he would be bothered because of the bumper, but would then put original before the MOT.

Left side had the external rupture depth about 2mm.
I have one old set of OZ Saturn rims (in very bad kondition) and not super good , but in better condition than my tires.
BUT size is litle smaller.
195/45 r15
I have 195/50 r15
So my car now looks awful. :(

Big update

My car is dead.
Not wrecked. Just dead.
When driving on Friday we went off at 130 km / h
I barely start it at the gasoline continued driving and was all good.
Again switched to LPG and again after a few kilometers off. Barely turned and continued driving and stopped at the pumps. I opened the hood examined all relays, valves for LPG and seemed fine. I started up and drove on again after a few kilometers again. I opened the hood again, opened the main valve for LPG , turn on and everything was great. I did 100 km and still be all right. By yesterday evening. Again extinguished or more would not start. Not on gasoline not to LPG.

How to shut down?
Simplistic when driving fell to 0 RPM engine and turned on the control lights.

I'm thinking to take 10 liters of gasoline and a lighter and burn it. :cry: :cry: :cry:

How is the LPG system done? This type of event can point to a "carby icing" type event similar to a light aircraft. Is it possible you're getting icing at the injector site until it blocks the injector and/or intake manifold area? Switching back to petrol means a different injection, so it runs again. And stopping the car allows the heat to melt the ice and suddenly it all works again, digesting its own evidence...

It used to happen in carburetted cars around the jet/venturi and required proper design or a heat source to avoid. Light aircraft have a "Carby heat" knob, this allows hot air from an exchange around the exhaust to be inducted, melting the ice- it is figured a small drop in power from hot air is better than a complete cut in power due to ice. Surprisingly, the best conditions for carby ice are not necessarily the warm, moist air you'd think- too warm and the ice won't form, too cold and the water content isn't high enough, too dry and well, too dry! It requires moderately humid but cool air, this combo can be lethal surprisingly quickly.

See this PDF document for some more facts and why it may affect you worst whilst cruising at 100km/h!

From personal experience af a VW powered dune buggy, carby ice is real - the carby would become ice cold on a mild day.

Note this is only one option, there may be other causes of the issue of course.

Well done mate, your luck should improve from here 'cos your making your own luck.

I trust the fault was the wiring itself so hopefully now the issues are fixed and you can get back to driving the car!

The wires ... ouch!! :shock:

I'm really relieved that you're gradually sorting it out, and pleased that your Dad is helping, rather than telling you the car isn't worth it! :p Keep on 8)

And have a good New Year :D
