Nic Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've just had exactly the same problem with mine after getting the gas topped up. The problem is that there is too much pressure in the system (ie. it's been overfilled). Find the low pressure valve, it has a grey cap with an L marked on it, it's located at the back of the engine near the firewall on the passenger side, it's buried about 10cm down so may take a bit of finding. Unscrew the cap and using a small screwdriver or similar, press the top of the valve to release some gas (same as letting air out of a tyre). I had to release a fair bit of gas (a few seconds worth) before I got the pressure down enough so it worked fine again. This should hopefully do the trick, let a bit out at a time and then test.
