Do that round here and you'd be slapped with £60 fine before you even lock the door...

Hi Matt, looking good! Any chance on some details on the lpg?

[M4Tt]

in my town they dont give many tickets so i odnt worry about tht

wot yu wanna know about LPG??

[steve_earwig]

Oh, you know, stuff like did it come with it or did you fit it, how much did it cost, what sort of system is it, where's the tank, how much room do you have in the boot, is it in the spare wheel well, how do you cope without a spare, what does it run like, what sort of economy are you getting, what sort of range do you get... nothing much really

...don't forget "how long has the head got left"

[steve_earwig]

That's not nice How about "how many miles has it done since the LPG was fitted and how noisy is your valve gear"?

[Welly]

I remember the guy on here with the LPG 2.0T which crapped out early, but then he just stuffed another cheap lump in there

hi,

i fit it 4 my self it cost my around 700£ or 800£ not bad and i fitted when the car has 89k on clock now got it 165k on cloock so i not tht bad and i dont have any problem with the LPG i got the car 4 about 3 or 4 month and i am happy i brought this car,

the boot the tank is in spare wheel and the capacity of the tank is 50litres not too bad, what about the spare wheel i got it all the time in car i replace the standard wheel for the thin one from some other car i brought it on scrap yard 4 10£
and the ET and bolts are compatible with my car, i didnt have too use it yet,

some people wich fit LPG in them car doin this in less recomended place's and they dont fit it right and is not workin propably,

i got in my car the full sequency wich is the best option which yu can choose.

any more question about it just ask.

So it's done about 76k since the conversion? That's one in the eye for everyone who reckons it's death for engines! Nice idea about the space saver spare too, much better than that horrible spray, I'm sure anyone who has to fix a tyre filled with the stuff is well impressed when they realise

[Welly]

I have heard some nasty tales (from my mechanic) of LPG'ers which will not pass the emissions test because the head is all knackered etc but isn't there a system which runs on petrol to begin and then lpg? this would be better for reliability overall, although slightly less economical.

Tyreweld has got me out of trouble more than once, it always seems to be when I'm in the middle of no-where on the bike

That's how all the decent conversions are since LPG works terribly in cold engines and can lead to serious problems. The fancier conversions have a controller which switches between petrol and LPG automatically

[Welly]

I was put off LPG when I heard, and smelt, a relatively young Vauxhall Vectra Bi-Fuel start up next to me a few years ago. It sounded like it was completely feckered and a younger Welly thought "that there fuel don't be no good for these here injuns".

Hi,

guys some people saying bad thing about LPG some sayin good things

the LPG is not that bad if some one who know how to install it in ur car it will propably and you need to change your spark plugs some times like 10 to 15k

but like tht is workin amazing,

LPG work in really low temperature and i never had any problem when i was in poland on holiday my car start 1st time
