[Marie]

I am based in Yeovil and there is a company here who carted mine for @£135.

My convertion cost 700 back in 2008 I did it myself with a few oofers in a weekend.

I am clued up with the code and i'm happy to help if I'm down here working and not home. Although I won't drill your manifolds sorry.

I already have a drilled manifold but I'm not convinced on the jet position. I will have a look. Cheers for the offer of help Marie. Just had a look at the old LPG kit I have here. Jet size is 2.7mm which is to big. How it ran on a 2.5L I'll never know. I have been suggested 2.5mm for the 3.0L engine.

Post a pic of nozzle position.

The drllable jets are the ones that screw into the injectors.

[doz]

That is the ones in the solenoid bodies!!!!!

Does anybody know the hole cutter size I need to fit the gas cap in the the quarter panel?

Two different things, yes? the drillable nozzles (2.3mm on a Kme vap btw) in the injector blocks.

And the manifold nozzles highlighted above, post a pic of these? (Or have I fuddled things? )

I thought yours were 2.2mm gayboy? I was looking at going a shade smaller, and increasing a tad if necessary.  Need to persuade CrippleArse to attend a local Oxford meet before I mess with it. He told me off last time I broke it

Thanks Chris. Been down to a dealer today. He had a Omega they had done. He let me have a good look over it. He's happy to do cert and reg, also he's going to do the set up etc. Waiting for confirmed prices now.

That could be interesting

Must come down that way and sample some curry again

I'd be tempted to try starting smaller too... Possibly 2mm and upping the vap pressure a touch

Need to find a date when SWMBO can stay home and look after the hound though

70mm IIRC

If you have a tow bar then it can be mounted on that

Ignore any suggestions until you know what vaporiser and injectors you are using... It varies dramatically and could be anything from 2.0-3.0mm

Agree completely. This measurement was given to me by the dealer to use with the kit and vaporiser they are supplying.

Still take it with a pinch of salt

You really need to get the answer to the questions re vaporiser and injectors before you part with any hard earned cash as we have experienced a kit that should be more than up to the job on paper but had some short comings when fitted

[doz]

It's a Stag 300 ASE (letters maybe wrong) kit. I was with the guy when he looked up the jet size from the Stag paperwork so I guess the kit comes with specific parts not just made up of bits.

[doz]

It's ISA which I think referes to the ECU more than the other parts.
