Right, whats the situation with these kits then.  I'm getting anxious to make a start on the Elite. I was looking at taking the car on a trip in 5 weeks or so, but nice not to have to use petrol.

Going by posts in the cam belt meet thread, LD is visiting Tilo just before the 26th to fit some trial parts for us fussy tinkers. I guess he'll have a verdict on the lag issue in farnborough. Then we can order if it works. Or order now and gamble? .... I guess? But yes my local petrol station is getting the arse with me crying on their forcourt.
 .    

Not had a confirmed price back from him yet... It's not helped any by the fact that I have specified what we want in the kit so it's not his standard "off the shelf" one. I'll be chasing him tomorrow

I'm planning to try and visit him on the Friday before Farnborough as he still thinks he can tune out the lag Mind you, he's changed the injectors for a better flowing set and changed the Vaporiser for one that reacts more quickly

As a guide (and only a guide, NOT a confirmed price!), the V6 front end kit (comprehensive) plus 7/8m of Polyflex should be no more than about £350+VAT & Delivery.

Tank wise... He's willing to help source one but can't be overly competitive as it'll be drop shipped from another supplier. May still work out cheaper than Tinley, for example, but no guarantee it will be.

I know I'm not "in the market" as it were for one of these .. but on behalf of all OOFers ... many thanks for the effort you have put in to get this deal sorted.

Same here. sounds like a brilliant deal you managed to get LD.
It makes LPGing a v6 not only econimcally viable again, for lowish mileage drivers, but a no brainer for anyone whos competent with a spanner.

LD - what injectors? What Vapouriser should I specify for my 3.2?

[albitz]

the ones that dont make the engine bang like a sh1thouse door.

Injectors are a newer, higher flowing type and standard. He also recommended drilling them smaller than we have been because of this.

Vaporiser wise... If he's got his Twin ones in then one of them, if not the OMVL. He should automatically send the correct one as long as you make him aware of the engine size.

I think he's done an average of the price for a 2.5/6 and 3.0/2 and charging the same across all of the V6's instead of having 3/4 different kit specifications.

Gave me something to do while I was off sick

Thanks though Guys... Was beginning to give up on hearing back from him but he's having IT issues! The email finally came from one of his employees email account

[feeutfo]

Good news, thanks for your efforts LD. 

[aaronjb]

To echo all that - thanks for all the legwork you've put in, LD!

Now the question is.. is that cost best spent LPGing the Omega, or putting aside for the future project (as soon as the garage is built, that means building a Cobra replica).. probably make the money back and more LPGing the Omega, come to think of it

Only you can decide but, depending on your tank option and type of driving, you can pay back the outlay on a DIY kit in well under 10k miles, probably closer to 7k

To put it in perspective, I would say my outlay was £700 and I save 10p per mile (average). I have done over 50k since converting so have saved somewhere in the region of £5000 running it... That means, if you wanted to look at it in a positive view, that I'm in profit for the car  I like big cars and this one doesn't owe me a penny at all... Not the purchase or the maintenance

I really must absolutely endorse all comments made,LD really has done myself proud and no doubt many other oof'ers, I hope to have Miggy's kit in the next few days,can I say a heartfelt thanks LD and mention to Daz and all not to worry the oof spirit lives on

[tunnie]

Not only does he get good prices, he's not bad with fitting either. approaching 20k after fitting, my LPG install has not missed a beat

Like I said, if you have problems getting hold of him, send me your details and I'll give him a nudge! I'm not a fan of his answering service, although it may have improved as I don't use that number any more
