ring them back, and ask them. 'How do you drill & tap injectors into the manifold, is it removed?'

Just ask that bit, don't give them any clues.  :y

And ask to see one of their installs.

I take it the manifold should be removed, presumably to avoid any shavings entering the engine... :-/

Yup, otherwise contents goes in, gets stuck under the lifters. I strongly advise you to go DIY route with help of forum, seen too many bodged 'professional' installs

Why not be a bit subtle and ask if the quote includes replacement manifold gakets?

I am listening Tunnie, but it is a proper installer, perhaps I might ask for testimonials..... :-/

Sorry don't mean to cause any offense.  :y

I just remember an old member Danny getting this 3.0 LPG'd by a 'professional' garage, and it was just appalling!!

Testimonials can not tell the truth they can just say 'ohh they are brilliant, they looked after me and car runs great' when the actual install could still be very poor.

Ask to see one thats been done, take lots of photos and post them up here  :y

Just remember you can DIY for less than half the price you have been quoted! I paid for members hotel accommodation for 2 nights, plus food and such, but still came out much less than you've been quoted.

Mine was expensive and cost around £650-700, you can do it for £500  :y
