I thought they did LPG before though.... ?


Best of luck with job. Sounds good.

Never fitted at the factory though

Irmscher are offering Lpg kits on their site too

[feeutfo]

Holden have been offering lpg on cirtain models for a while in Oz.

Maybe Vx have been watching closely.


I do wonder if prices of lpg will go up, if the govt see another Tax oppertunity.

Thats been the worry for years, still ok for now though 

If they do nobble it though, means end of petrol ownership for me

Well Asda in Wycombe has gone up 2p this week

On the upside, that Shell (formerly Total) garage in Towcester are now selling LPG again for the first time since the summer.

Damn

So will the design be altered to allow for the LPG kit, or will it still be a retro fit/conversion done in the Vx factory?

That's a tricky one... They are committed to "Greener" fuel, which LPG is, so have, thus far, agreed to not reduce the difference in duty (petrol/LPG) by more than 1p per year until 2016 (I think )

That said, it wouldn't surprise me

Don't forget though, LPG price is related to Domestic Gas price, not petrol/crude oil It always goes up during the winter months when demand is high but (normally) comes down again during the summer. Tends to have about a 6 week delay on domestic prices which have recently been hiked

Doughnut tank in the spare wheel well, harness is different and the gas fill is incorporated into the fuel filler flap

I know is the US GM have V6 and V8 factory fitted LPG systems. I have often wondered what the work would be to put their dual fuel 265hp 3.6 V6 and gearbox into a Miggy, if it would fit?

When i was working at Russelsheim once they had an Omega there with a cadalac northstar V8 in it - they were thinking of producing it.

Well documented, canned we believe due cooling issues at Autobahn speeds. Real issues with exhaust manifold exits on the (UK) passenger side.

It could have been solved, sure there would have been a solution. But maybe maybe just too expensive

Seem to remember in 80's Diesel was really cheap so car manufacturers got to making more dies hell cars and all of a sudden Govt decide to wack price of Dies hell up- LPG will be next-wait and see

Yep, I'm not holding my breath on the governments pledge not to increase duty massively but it would go completely against all the "green" pledges

[symes]

mate they said same about dies hell-did'nt they--thats why Govt gets away with so much -it's because we al shout & moan about things but dont do anything about it-look at French mate they smashed petrol stations up-kept the price down though eh
