BRC gas conversion is it any good? Or should I walk away before some one blows the car up?
Guess I just couldn't stay away for the fourth time....

it depends on the installer regardless of kit.. where they drill , how they drill, installation of parts,  cabling, tuning etc..

so I wouldnt trust any without seeing their completed jobs and their work.. :-\


besides last year there were many faulty injectors which I hear about..

however,  here they have very wide service points..

BRC are ok afaik. But as said, the best kit in the world can be ruined by a bad installer.

What car is it on? is the car reg on the uk LPG register web site?

BRC are a good kit (Entwood has the BRC kit ;)) but, as said, the installer is the most important thing ;)

Entwood's conversion is very good but I've seen another BRC converted Omega (by a different installer) that was dreadful
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Just out of interest, what have they quoted?

Ask to see some of their previous work ;)

Finally, if you are capable of DIY fitting there are good savings to be made ;) I reckon sub £800 all in ;)

personally I wouldnt trust any garage thats not recommended by another omega owner.. these engines are quite complicated for an average lpg installer..  and even a previous omega installation must not be considered as a reference unless they are recommended by the car owner.. last year I had enough problems with a friends mondeo thats lpg system installed by a prize winning BRC installation point.. and they were installing nearly hundred cars a day..  ???  and these muppets were unable to find

1) socket problems (electrical) I solved >:( >:(
2) faulty injector problems  and independant mechanic solved >:(
3) their tuning abilites was so bad that it was beyond belief >:(

D

BRC software is dealer only? Maybe an issue if you plan to DIY tinker in the future. But it is a very good kit afaik! Second only to Prins.

Oh ok, thought you had a vectra, last we met.

Show them Kevs guides I guess, and tell them that's how it's done. ;)
