Now that James is no longer around is there any forum member that is doind LPG installs?
If so could somebody contact me with the cost of the kit and the install and where in the country they are.
Thanks

As you are no doubt aware I helped James with the installation of (now) your Omega and we also did Marie's a couple of weeks back using the same kit.
Whilst I'm always happy to help out I wouldn't say I'm "doing LPG installs", partly because on both occasions it's been a real struggle for 3 of us to get through an install to a decent standard in a weekend, and I just don't have the time to do very many, and partly because I see a bit of a distinction between helping members with a job on their cars and taking on a job, involving some fairly major surgery, and the associated responsibility myself.
However, whatever you need to know, feel free to ask. The kits we have used come from this chap http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/u-fit-lpg. If you don't see what you want on ebay give him a call. You couldn't wish for a more helpful guy, IMHO. Mention OOF when you do.

I had my kit installed by james, kev and my self.
the kit and spares all in all cost £700.
Are you askin for someone to fit the kit for you or would you be working too? i sounds like you want someone to complete the install for you.
i personally wouldnt be happy with fitting a kit to some elses motor without their imput throughout the job. i am not sure on the other guys who have fitted kits.
if your going to pay for an install i would go to a proper garage rather then a member.
I would be happy to help out if needed.

Well the truth is that I have talked my sister into an omega. I spotted the nice irmscher 3.0 manual in the for sales and mentioned it to her. She offered to have mine and let me have the 3.0, now I was very very tempted but the rare sensible side kicked in and the LPG is now a big factor.
It is probably something that I would like to try, with some assistance but was really seeing if anybody did them. Purely a time issue as my sister's car failed MOT today.
I wish I could justify the 3.0 running costs :'( :'(

I feel the same as Kevin and James - assist but not do a full conversion.
That said I'd rather do my own than pay someone and that applies to Kevin and James as well.
