I'm looking to buy a cheap LPG car to use for commuting (it will be a second car so I don't care to much for high spec or performance). Tried the usual places like autotrader, exchange&mart, loot, adtrader etc. They all have a decent selection but was wondering if there are any other sites recommended. Looking for a private sale, 99.9% of dealers are a total rip-off especially when it comes to...

Just thought I'd pass on my experience of LPG conversion. I bought a new 2.5 V6 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2 years ago, I had it converted to LPG by a reputable firm (who later went bust!) the conversion was underbody and was a great job. The cost was £1,800 The car had a 13 gallon LPG tank and a 8 gallon petrol tank. I have had no trouble whatsoever with the LPG except for the inconvenience of trying...

Hi I've not seen anyone mention Countrywide gas on the NG so I thought I'd let people know about them in case you find it useful - no connection other than satisfied customer. Countrywide have a range of unmanned LPG filling points, predominantly over in the West (Glos, Worcs etc) - you get given a key and a PIN, you insert key & pin in machine and get gas out, which is billed monthly in...

Having had my lpg conversion for about two years is there anything I should do re maintenance or servicing? My Laguna is serviced at the Renault dealers but I suspect they do not touch the gas aspect Mick

I've got an ex met police riot bus LDV LWB twin rear 400, twin carb, no cat, 22k miles c/w 3.5 V8, a sweet runner returing 17-20mpg, which compares favourably with plenty of R/rovers. However, she's an obvious LPG/dualfuel candidate. I've been told that being carb she has to have an induction type system which, unless fitted by someone with a lot of experience, could mean I sacrifice a lot of...

I had my conversion done at Dave Crofts Motor Engineers in Chesterfield and had no problems there. A small friendly little garage. It's pretty close to you. "Ephriam Monk" wrote in message ...

Hi, I have an Opel Kadett from 1989 on LPG. Recently it got some problems: - when I drive at a certain speed (sometimes 100 km/h, sometimes 120 km/h) it seems not to get enough fuel and the car starts to shock irregularly. In the past the max speed was 150 km/h and there was no shocking. - changing from LPG to petrol and back is no longer immediate. There are now a few seconds without fuel.

Dear All, Anyone know about Volvo doing warranty cylinder head swaps? An ex-colleague has just had his replaced on his 2001 Bi-Fuel Phil

So...I now have this Volvo S40 2.0L dual fuel. The LPG system is OMVL. The first tank (by me) has disappeared at the rate of 18 mpg, Erk. What are the usual suspects? I hope there is no gas leak! and presumably there is some sort of adjustment. -- Hog (remove bondage to reply)

Hi, I recently have started to do alot of commuting to work.........I now cover on average 400 miles a week. I was initally looking to replace my car with a Diesel, but then it occured to me that I could buy a used petrol car with an LPG conversion already done.....for the same price as a diesel car of the same age.

Hi, Got a problem with the LPG system fitted to my 1600 VW Beetle. It's fitted with BRC equipment. It will only run with the max flow adjuster screwed right in which I suspect is the problem with lack of power. Any setting off this and the engine just stalls, adjusting the vaporiser seems to make absolutely no difference at all.
