No probs, just if you were about/heading over be good time make it at same time. Might be taking 2.2 to London, not sure yet.

Still drives on gas fine, after not being run for 8 months, it started and switched to gas, bit lumpy but ran 

I do really need to get that bit of paper it needs, think if its pressed back into a commuting role (which could happen if I move out of London) might consider a beefier vaporiser

If you choose to do that then the inspection (if done before) will be invalid

Hummm good point

I've been reading all this with interest.

A note on servicing, the guy doing my install, when I asked him if it was possible for someone like myself to do a general service on the LPG replied that to be honest, the only thing that might need servicing was the filter, but he rarely finds a dirty one. He suggested only changing it if problems started to occur.

Which many of you guys have pretty much said too.

Should be picking the car up saturday. Will report back.

Thats settled that then  Pretty much like taking your car to the stealers for a full service and paying full wack when it can be done diy

Depending what system is used you might well be able to get the software and lead so you can also keep an eye on the setup However, it will record any computer connected to it with a unique code and it may invalidate any warranty Oh... And if you do ever decide to play, make sure you have made a note of everything and saved it (if you can) so you can refer back to it

[Strangechap]

Good point. The number of times I fiddled with stuff without making a note of how it was... <slaps forehead>

Thought I'd keep you all updated.

My car was meant to be a week with the LPG chap, but he orders all his stuff bespoke and both the tank and valve got sent to the wrong 'hub' by the courier and didn't arrive on time. They managed to find the tank (it's bloody big enough!) but not the valve, so he ordered a new valve.

He had it ready for last monday in the end, but I couldn't get down there until saturday so he had it an extra week. He drove it in this time to check it all worked correctly.

It has been set to go to LPG quite quickly as I have a shortish commute, he got it to change over in about 1.3 miles. It went at 0.7 this morning. The roads here are much busier here than where he lives, so I get less distance done in the same amount of time!

Anyway, took the train to Petersfield, he met me at the station and we drove to the petrol station where he showed me how to fill up with gas. Then I dropped him off home and he showed me the work he's done.

I must say I'm very impressed with the quality of installation. I'm a perfectionist myself and I like things nice and neat. All the components were installed neatly, the wiring all properly routed and cable tied to secure it.

To be honest, if you didn't know it had LPG, you would find it hard to tell which parts under the bonnet are not OEM. I really don't think I could have done it any neater myself. Cheaper, yes, but better, no.

The pipes are neatly installed under the car. The tank is 71 litres and stands about an inch proud of the boot floor. I need to raise the carpet with some 50mm styrene.

It seems to run well. I gave it a good caning on the way home and it behaved very well. I think it is a tiny bit slower on gas than on petrol, but not so you would notice. This morning it was on gas by the first roundabout coming off my estate. I'm really surprised that you can't really tell if it is running on gas or petrol!

The only way to tell really is the light on the switch and the fact that the fuel gauge hasn't moved since I got the car back! Quite weird!

I'll take some pictures later in the week if the rain stops and post them up.

Yup, lets see some pictures 

I'm back on 2.2 gas now, much better on the wallet.

Anyone want to buy a 3.2 Elite?

Who said add a decimal point? 

£1.5k i'd sell it for, but I know its not worth that & would never achieve that price.
