I wish you well with this project and will be following this with interest.

A couple of questions if I may:

1.  Where did you get the kit?
2.  How much?

With the price of petrol now, I am seriously thinking of having a go at such a project myself.

[Kevin Wood]

I think I'm right in saying it's one of these, although Jay W will no doubt confirm.

There's at least myself and James considering doing the same, and possibly a few more so I wonder if there's a possibility of getting a discount on a couple of kits, or at least tackling the installs together.

the like that JamesV6 has posted iss the kit i have bought, remember that is only the front end though, you will need a back end kit on top of that

i spoke to the guy direct rather than going through ebay, for everything (front end kit, 70l cylinder tank, fitting kits and software) it was £700

Factor in another £100 at the most for certification and possibly 10 hours of my own time and i have made a saving over the fully installed price, granted i don't get a warranty on fitting, but i know the quality of the work that has gone ito the conversion.

I have been chatting to the guy, i have no doubt that if an order was placed by a few people for the same kit he would do something to 'sweeten the deal' if only the P&P (£35)

I have the contact details for the chap (asked for them from his EBAY ad) as I wanted to ask him a few questions so I will give it a day or two to see if there's any more interest and then give him a call and see what's what.

He's only 40 mins drive from me, so I could collect all the bits and distribute them via the "OOF network" which might save some carriage.

What are you doing about certification, Jay w?

That's the only thing that concerns me a little. I want to end up with something that's insurable at the end of it all!

Cheers,

Kevin

Looks like you have installed the LPG parts very well indeed infact better than my so called pro install, Which Ill be ripping out and replacing with an injection system instead of my mixer system very soon.

Top Job so far Jay

I have the same concern Kev

the only option, is to keep shhhh to the ins companies, until it's certified, then say "it's Been converted" (DO NOT SAY DIY!!) .. and give them the cert

NO insurance company will touch you after a DIY install..

This is what I thought. Hence the need, IMO, for it to be certified by someone who's happy not just to sign the certificate but, if necessary, to allow the impression to be given that he professionally installed it.

Yes, this is exactly what we need!!! What are the chances though?

Martin, is bernard open to bribes of such sort?

[Craig_R]

Thats rubbish an insurance company will not touch you if its a DIY as long as you have a certificate it will be fine.
My insurance never asked to see the cetificate or asked if it was installed by a company they just asked do you have a certifcate for the LPG. and that was it

Neither did mine... but try telling them you're doing a DIY install, and see their reactions

The people that certified my install on the Range Rover were based just outside Cardiff.

It should not matter if a blind monkey put the LPG system in as long as you have a Certified LPG garage to check it after and give you a certificate but fair point to make your life easier i would keep quiet also.

No bribes required he certifies quite a few DIY jobs
