If the ignition is ok, there are 3 things that will cause low power;
1 lack of fuel.
2 lack of air flow.
3 lack of compression.

If it was compression you would have bad blowby or rough idle (blown head gasket)
You fixed the air flow by unblocking the cat.
It would be unusual to have a lack of both fuels at the same time. You havent crushed the fuel & LPG lines?

Will have a look at the fuel lines. Might have happened when the leaf spring bolt broke. Although its not running lean according to the scan tool.

Installed power leads from front to back under the plastic sill cover. Thought it would be fine as the main loom runs along there. Put one of the screws back & it went through the loom. Suddenly no central locking. Bugger ! Took screws out & all is working. now need to be more careful putting screws back.

Shit I have like 4 extra cables running through mine. I am now surprised I have not put a screw through mine; especially since I have taken the scuff plates of over 10 times.

Can't believe it. Took my WK2 4WD'ing last weekend and did some pretty narly tracks at the back of Lake Eildon. No damage sustained.

Driving home from Melbourne Airport tonight, a mother of all Kangaroos decides to body slam the side of my Jeep. No pics yet as it's dark out, but torch light investigation shows front drivers quarter panel stove in, and minor dents to the drivers door.

Good news is she missed any vital parts and rolled off the side of my Uneek4x4 winchbar with no damaged noted at this stage. Sorting out insurance the week before Xmas? Priceless.............

Not so bad in the daylight, but still disappointing
