are you going to have to raise the boot floor to accomadate the tank cliff ?

[feeutfo]

I am humming and harring about this When 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 )

How 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?

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

edit  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 it

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

I only bought the mig in the first place cause it was cheap and had only done 60k,it was never going to be a main car as the wifes 7 seater does most of the work

yes, though with a 2.5, you should easily get away with a single hole tank, reducing cost by around £100....
