As Del Boy would say "Go on my son, you know it makes sense"  :y


I do like the comment that the LPG tank takes up no room - but the loose spare wheel may be a tad annoying  ;D

Only CDX, short MOT, high miles, I wouldn't pay a lot for it

Sounds like he may have done HG himself and ballsed it up. I do have spare 2.5 heads tho  :-/

Wonder if it's something else leaking coolant though, oil cooler plate, or coolant bridge, etc...

I reckon the mileage and age will really drastically affect resale value. Not sure there is enough money in that

When i see an OMEGA with LPG i think somebody very tight must have owned it. So tight he probably never spend any money on it.

Depends what you using it for.....

Makes sense for me......40-50k miles a year....38p/L versus 95p/L

Mate of mine is having his BMW 520 converted to gas......hes worked it out....would save him approx £4k a year on fuel costs.....hes a TD as well

My omega gets serviced every 10k (ok not often enough as others would point out!)

It pays for itself in two years, anyway you have to spend to save and because you will own the car longer you take better care of it

I lot of lpg equipped cars I've seen do appear to be a little neglected, so maybe some truth in that.
