LPG fitting SOuthampton
« on: 07 January 2013, 16:41:54 »
Can anybody put me in touch with a good firm down south please? I've got an old kit I stripped out of an old Omega but what I want to do is replace all of it bar the tank with something like this.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAG-300-6-ISA2-250-HP-FRONT-KIT-LPG-AUTOGAS-SEQUENTIAL-6-CYLINDERS-CONVERSION-/200829181530?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ec25a1e5a

However I'm not currently up to fitting it myself. Also need the certificate.

Not sure if this is too far ... Winchester area  ??? They are the guys who did my conversion, although the guy who ran the place then has now left I believe, so I have no recent knowledge of their proficiency :)

Is the tank under 10 years old? If not, it won't get certified as they must be inspected every 10 years. The cost for this is so great it is cheaper to replace with new ::)

As for the kit, which seems quite expensive for a kit with Red Valtek injectors (not very good injectors) BTW, especially once you have purchased the required pipework. You'll struggle to find a registered installer who will install something you have supplied ;) If you can't go DIY, which isn't that hard, then you're better to shop around for a kit supplied and fitted ;)

Not sure how things stand (Back and hospital appointments) currently, otherwise I might have been able to lend a hand ::)

Tank no good over ten years so that's that idea down the tubes. Just been quoted 1600 quid!! for a BRC (could be wrong). Looks like I'll have to sell the car and by a POS to run around in.

You could DIY convert it for sub £750 including an inspection ;) It's not a particularly challenging job if you take your time ;)

I can't find any firm locally who will certificate a home install.

I'm sure there's a place near Chichester (Arun Autogas?) that will do it... Not exactly on your doorstep but not too far :y

I'm gonna have to buy a kit and then get it certificated or the land barge will have to go. Best place to buy a system?

Give me a few days to make some enquiries from the supplier I negotiated rates with previously. I know he's no longer affiliated with AC Stag but he did say he had another, similar kit he could supply that was potentially a little cheaper :y

I know Chrisgixer has a (slightly fussy) inspector near him that will do it :y

As for cost... As above, I'd expect it to be sub £750 including the inspection and registration :y

I'll have your babies if you can get it for that sort of money. A hand doing it would be nice. I'd bring beer, Curry vouchers and coinage
