Hi guys

try running the heater hoses to the LPG system and put the thermostat back in, then you will have the best of both worlds and a control valve on the LPG system
The heater hoses are already running though the LPG system but for some reason there wasnt enough flow with the thermostat closed which caused the vaporizer to freeze up. After doing some more research im starting to think that it may have just been a coincidence and the actual cause of the freezing was a vapor lock from when i replaced the coolant.

I am going to try putting the thermostat back in and being more careful to fill the coolant right up and bleed all of the air out. If that doesn't work then i will re run the heater hoses through the gas system and see how it goes.

After reading through these posts, one thing is clear. You definitely need to fix the suspension, alignment, brakes and tires. This is where you'll currently see the most gains. Perhaps invest in some lower springs that can also help carry a load.
All of those things are on my to do list, unfortunately funds are short currently so they will only get done as i can afford them

Over the last couple of days i have been tidying up the dash wiring, after adding bits and bobs along the way it was getting a bit messy, ive also added in more factory style connectors to make servicing easier and provisions for more accessories later on

Thanks for looking
