Welcome to OOF
,the car survived but the seatbelt didn't 
Quoteyes, though with a 2.5, you should easily get away with a single hole tank, reducing cost by around £100....QuoteQuoteedit I have thought about the lpg route but find it hard to justify on a now 11 year old car,if I find a late 3.2 estate I may do itI did it to a (then) 12yr old, 163k
But then, I'm mad if you listen to GayBoy Gixer
actually its not so much the age,if it was a 3.0 or 3.2 I would do it

QuoteQuoteQuoteHow does a one off diy payment of say, £700 for a diy install, cover the cost of running two cars continually? Or an extra car i should say, Insurance, tax, mot, repairs servicing,etc every year?QuoteI am humming and harring about thisWhen I bought this Mig I intended to LPg it, having bought this giving up a more economical diesel
More recently my idea to lpg it has come into question :-/ and most lately the idea of buying a sub£1k diesel for work and keeping the Mig for weekends is favourite....... :-/ :-/ :-/
thats the route I took,bought a cheap 406 hdi (lovely drive as well) and in the few months that I have owned it its paid for itself already,my mig does around 23mpg knocking around locally and the 406 is doing late 40's mpg(best I've seen is 51)
Insurance alone car for two years wouod pay the kit price? Surely? :-?
insurance is a non event for me as I have traders policy and the mig was getting killed doing parts pick ups for work etc with me in shitty overalls so pug works out nicely

Indeed, obviously length of ownership plays a part in the decission, obviously.

QuoteQuote'87 Astra.....a classic?Back up big boy i said not a classic yet...read the post! You can do a clutch for £50 in an hour on these, coz GM were good enough to fit inspection plates for us to take off, even i can manage.
you're 'avin a giraffe mate
Still take it to any classic/VX show. When did you last see another? 8-)
you did - sorry
it'll never be a classic, despite achieving old age - had a 1.4L "H" reg - terrible car in whats known as lovely "corpse blue" - you know that flat blue colour VX insisted on ruining cars with in the 90's
wallowy, uncomfortable, underpowered, poorly put together - maybe i had one of the friday afternoon ones
£140 max, this neck of the woods.
