I suspect you would be looking at closer to £2000 at a Prins dealer as I sure they would find some 'complexities' to bump the price up, but it will give you an idea.  :)

My BRC Sequent with an 80 litre cylinder was £2173 ... and that was May 2008 .. I doubt the price has come down in that time !! (unless you get it done by a cowboy who doesn't remove the inlet manifold to do the job .. )

Joff .. "Dieslec Gas & Go" in the old railway works are now BRC installers, as well as others I think .. might be worth having a chat with them ?? for a quote if nothing else ... 01793 612007

But a man of your ability could DIY it with some ease .. :)

Joff, I'm not on here much at the moment but DIY is fairly simple. Unfortunately the existing supplier is not reliable enough to be getting kits from and I believe the spares collection we had amassed is melted into the substructure of TB's garage now but that doesn't change the fact it can be done.

If you want to go for something a little more mid range (between Stag DIY and Prins/BRC) I can recommend the fitter who did D's car (unless there's something I have missed) :y

I think i will have to go down the DIY route as i have an engineering background, but i have never worked or used LPG.

So where is the best place to pick up all i need. :y

2003 3.2 V6 Estate.
Tank in spare wheel recess, and i would like to close the wheel cover flat.
what size tank would i get in there and how far could i get with the contents.
