Hi Will,

dont waste your time with aptly named 'Power-****' - it is lipservice,
encouraged by the likes of the LPGA for their 'old boys network'. Grants are
typically no more than 50-60%, but the cost will be 150-200% higher than for
non-grant assisted conversions. So you will actually be better off without a
grant, odd though it sounds. Typically, to get a vehicle approved on
powershift costs around £10-15k, and their is no guarrantee! So the person
that submits it will want to recoup the cost by increasing the price of the
conversion equipment, and as each type of vehicle and each engine size
requires a separate application, costing £10-15k, it means that the
additional cost is quite high!

If you want a good system at a good price, go for a good quality sequential
injection system, such as romano, which will set you back £1200-1500. as
opposed to a powershift approved non-sequential system that costs £2500 and
gives you 700 grant money. If you like, I can arrange for a conversion with
a 98.5% grant

(but the conversion will cost you £100 000 prior to the grant!)


Oh well guess that means if I go for it the whole lot will be forked out
from my pocket Does this entitle me to any reduction on the car tax?
