I'll chuck some more petrol in it until my garage is built in a few months and then probably convert it myself with a Tinleytech kit.

I've bought the timing tools and a timing belt kit so thats the only job i'm going to do before I get the new workshop 

We did 100 miles in it yesterday, 5 of us to Edale in the high peak and walked up Kinder Scout. I was shattered when I got back to the car but those heated seats, autobox and V6 lump made the tired, miserable drive back in the dark absolute bliss.....

I've not had a quote but theres a guy called tubbs over on the lpg discussion forum. He's not that far from me and seems well respected. I dont think he's cheap but I think he tries to stay competitive.

I've had a quote of 995+vat from profess autogas but I'm not overly keen on the 1 day install. I've heard good things and bad about them.

I reckon its gonna cost 600ish quid for a stag kit fitted by me plus the hassle/complexity of finding somebody reliable, diy friendly and localish to certify it for me. I'd rather go diy still if possible as I'm that way inclined.

Tinley tech's 6 cylinder bigas kit is £645 + VAT. ie £774. Which means 1200 - 774 = £446 for him to spend a week installing the kit, testing, full tank of LPG and after sales service. I think that is pretty cheap. And Tubbs uses Emer, which is a bit more expensive than the Bigas system.

Profess is a good example of some of the crappiest installs I have seen. Some of the filler points on their own website are dire.
