It's interesting that there is renewed interest in factory fit LPG. Is this for the UK market or elsewhere?

All the best with the new job. :y

Are they sending you to Russelsheim for training, if so there are a couple of good bars in the town square. If you are and get the chance try and get a look around classic car collection

Hope they are now going to make a better job than they did on the old Astras etc

Yeah good old Russelsheim - used to have to go there all the time with the V6 plant - I gather you worked for Vauxhall then?

I wonder if they'll do what they did with diesels. Make them so expensive that it takes about ten years to get your momey back through fuel savings.

We are only doing the 1.4 astra - which i imagine will be much more expensive although they are saving money converting them in the factory instead of sending them to an outside company

I'd be interested to know what kit they are using ;)

Good luck with the course... It's not complicated and mostly common sense so you'll be fine :y
