My insurance company (lv) stated they didn't require any paperwork ref lpg for my last lpg car

Was your car on the official register James?

There is no 'Official Register' Kate, The shysters who set up the UKLPG Register like to style themselves as the only proper register of Lpg converted vehicles but they have no 'Official' ie Government backing. They are simply a UK Company with a database of vehicles converted by Affiliated Installers. Unfortunately they appear to be recognised as an 'Official' body by some motor insurers
From recent personal experience, the DVLA at Swansea are now asking for written confirmation of the Lpg installation from the 'Garage' that fitted it!

For what reason Phil?

I don't know Tig, I transfered ownership of my Lpg'd Omega estate to my youngest lad & sent off the amended V5. We received a letter from DVLA saying that they were retaining the V5 until we provided written confirmation from the 'Garage' that had installed the Lpg!  As I had installed it myself but not had it inspected by an UKLPG 'Approved' Installer I was told that the V5 would not be issued until the Install had been inspected and 'Approved'. The cost of this here is £175 plus Vat

It is quite variable. None of my last 3 insurers wanted a certificate. The price can vary too. Mainstream insurers like direct line, aviva, more than would not even quote me.

Testing costs about £85 - £100. The bigger issue is what the testing will unearth and how much it will cost you to put right. Don't expect a test and your car to automatically pass. bit like the MOT, a lot of so called testers will be looking for work to do on your car. Of course there are some very decent testers. Depending on where you are based, I could suggest some.

Thanks very much.

I'm in Cornwall but I'm moving to Hampshire soon.

Cornwall is a black hole in terms of LPG installers. Sorry.
