Awaiting a reply. Will update you once I know.

Is Tunnie's quote re: removing the manifold correct? ie :if they dont remove it, then run away?

I really dont have the time for a DIY install, which is why I am willing to pay for it be done properly. The only free time I have is the weekend, which I choose to spend with my son or engage in my research.

agreed .. and dont run, fly away

It's a constant topic of discussion, but I wouldn't have it drilled in situ Especially as I don't think you can get the nozzles in the right place without removing it

I'd like to see someone manage it at all on a V6, but it's always a useful question, to see if they'll say "Yes, Manifold has to come off" or <draw on fag> "Nah, mate. It'll be OK in-situ. We've got this special vacuum attachment on the drill....".

Been quite a hot topic on the LPG Forum Many of the installers say that it's OK to be drilled in situ but agree that to get them in the right place on this car the manifold needs to come off

The chap in Southend that I have suggested is highly recommended. I spoke to him about my Rangie when I first got it and he was quite happy to give me decent telephone support (a good couple of hours) to try and get it sorted

or "we use reverse working drill bits , so nothing goes inside"    
 
and I watched them when they drilled.. everything goes inside   and lied in my face
 
that was a brand new mondeo

Plastic inlet on some models seems to encourage drilling in situ.

And as said, and as most of us know, it's not acceptable on this car, they can be a bugger to position correctly with inlet removed first time you DIY anyway.

Other than straws through the plenum (cringe) manifold MUST come off. It's not possible to get the nozzles near the petrol Injectors otherwise. (not wanting to preach the obvious, more a post for less experienced members )

I'll let the LPG masters confirm as well, but yes!

Having seen the amount of shavings which come out of drilling just 4 injectors, I would not like all that going down into the bores.

You can get away it it, that's why garages do it. But I think its a positive sign of how professional they are if they do remove it

Spoke to the chap. Price seems reasonable, but......does not remove manifold. Seems like a helpful chap but the manifold issue has me a little worried. Obviously I can ask for it to be removed and fitted, but perhaps at a price. Or maybe they wont remove it at all?

Hmmm, what to do!!!
