Certification less than £50 with bernard

Do it in a day? Only if you rush...

I'd rather take my time, we also have the added advantage of extensive Omega knowledge

Plus - I could buy a lot of gas for £300 !  ;D


So ...  when you've got yours working ...  how much will you be charging to fit ?? :)  If you can beat £1100 all in I'll be first in the queue !!!  (or will EP become our resident LPG conversion "booking agent" .. :)

the installer in Plymouth charges £1200 and keeps the car for 4 days, i was weighing up the pros and cons, the kit was £705 and even if i had to pay £100 i am still £400 up and that is for a total of 5 days work......

To me it was a no brainer, but then i also understand that time with family or getting extra work in is important to others.

I would say in a rush a kit could be fitted in 3 days, but that would be going some and i could imagine there would be corners cut or things maybe not done as well as they could have been

With the exception of the tank, I plan to do it over one weekend, cambelt permitting!

What took all the time then Jay? I was hoping that it could all be done in a weekend. The guys in S Wales reckon that they can do it in a day.

Markie and I Recon one (long) summers day would see it done. This time of year, prob closer to two, unless you can work inside.

It's worth taking your time over your first install.
