I would like to convert my Omega to LPG. I wondered if any members here have any specific guidance for this car, its a 2000(v) 2.5 V6 auto
-
There are some guides to the LPG fitting process in the Maintenance Guides section. Plenty of us have done it so have a look at the guides and then fire away if you have any questions. :y

Cheers, still finding my way around on here.

The guide for the front end is only for a 4 pot (must do the V6 one :-[ ::)) but the theory is the same :y :y

You could always do a How Too on mine ;D ;D ;)

Been noticing it's becoming quite popular on here to convert, I bought mine already done and didn't pay much more than an unconverted one.
Suppose I was lucky but sometimes it's easier to sell your own and buy one someone has already had done. Just a thought!

90% of the cars I have worked on with LPG have been a nightmare..
I personally think it would be a better way to buy a car without it LPG then get someone who has been recommended to you to fit LPG. This way your not buying Crap & Nightmares :y

Seconded... I'd rather convert a known good car than buy an unknown with LPG which adds many other potential issues ;) ;)

I've got the pictures somewhere already, although a few more may be handy, and just need to do the text (which is basically the same as the 4 pot guide ::))
Just seem to have been stupidly busy for the last few months ;) ;)

Or LPG a known good car and add some new issues ::) ;D :P

Member on here, JAMESV6ELITE, set up a business specialising in looking after Migs including doing LPG conversion. His prices were good and in my experience his knowledge and advice were first class. I hope to be dealing with him again shortly :y

on the subject of LPG conversion, does anybody know, would I be able to use the LPG set up off my old 3.5efi V8 Range Rover on my 2.5 V6 Omega?

Unlikely... Was it a SGIS system or mixer?
And, TBH, if you're capable of DIY converting it then a full new kit with warranty wont cost dramatically more than replacing all the parts (like fuel lines, filler, tank etc) which need replacing and recycling the old kit ;)

You'll have to join the queue... I'm not available until October at the earliest (and even then it'll be mid week) and TB is in front of you in the queue ;) ;)
That said... I'm sure we'll get it done soon enough :y :y

I'd forgotten we hadn't covered the V6.
I will see if I can dig some photos out and get the ball rolling although I'm a bit busy myself at the moment.

I seem to have made the mistake of taking on too many projects with too short a time scale ::) ::)
Currently have to prepare the hearth and remove a Radiator in time for the Stove fitting in 4 weeks, get the garden prepped and stripped ready for landscaping, finish the front garden and service the car/new disks and pads etc ready for the Italy road trip... All in 5 weeks ::)

I'm sure your project will be ready in time, leaving you nothing to do in mid September ;D
If only we can get LD available then, and chrisgixer to provide something to drop in No1.....

First weekend in October is the best I can do, and even then I couldn't get there till Saturday am

excellent - look forward to seeing the guide. Does anyone have a preferred brand of kit or any to specifically avoid?

Stag seems to be the favoured brand by those who know about these things on here. :y
