Apart from the fact they drill the manifold in situ (IIRC) I've heard good things about them... I still find it frightening that they can do a conversion in a day, even with 3 people on it. I fear there must be some corners cut somewhere, or not to the standard I expect :-/ :-/

But then... The have had a lot of very good reviews :y :y

Have a read through this site ;) ;)

Looks tidy, but 2002 year is not the Jag Supercharged 4.2, but standard 4.4 BMW lump  :y

Yeah, I know that... It was to give you an idea ;) ;)

Drilling it in situ is a bit scary!  :o  :-/

Is the inlet manifold metal (like older cars) or plastic (like a lot of new cars)? If it's plastic I'd imagine it's much less risky to drill it in situ..

Trouble is, on an Omega you couldn't get the injector nozzles as close to the petrol ones as we do without taking the manifold off ;)

Must admit though, I'll be pricing it all up from Teilo before rushing in as that price seems bloody good ::) ::)

Mind you... I'm too fussy to let them do it as I'd be stood over them making sure it was all done to my satisfaction ;D ;D

Yep... Realised that. I would assume it's plastic now :-? :-?

Don't forget if the Range Rover has Air Bags the car will lift up and down, in which case under slung tanks if I remember should not be used. :y

I think you can fit them if you remove the spare wheel well... Essentially you cut the bottom out of the wheel well and drop it in there, then seal the top with a plate... But it's a lot of extra work for perhaps an extra 30 miles of range ::) ::)

So why not just put the tanks into the spare wheel well?

Tank, single ;) ;)

Like I said... A lot of extra work for a few extra miles of range. Not worth it IMO ;)
