You pay to become a member of the UKLPG register & can be thrown out by having a number of complaints (this is where it falls apart) its on number of complaints not percentage. So if you are a big installer say doing 1000 conversions a year or a back street outfit doing 25. Lets say the limit is 5 complaints do the maths on percentage of problem conversions. A lot of complaints may not be down to a bad conversion aswell . You may have weak leads or a weak coil & they could go down due to being converted resulting in a complaint. Its like my job I work under the RTITB banner or ALMI both organisations do the same thing but they are not law it just shows that I am competent at my job so when I issue a license the person trained has been '' trained by a competent person'' ( which is the only requirement Under the health & safety at work act.) As for BA & Profess they are both good installers in my experience I had no problems with the install BA done in 60k & 5 years & the install by Profess is very neat & once sorted out hasn't missed a beat in 10K so far so good. It is thanks to forums like this that we are able to make informed decisions & keeps installers on their toes the wonders of the inter web hey.

Sorry it just looked like rubber hose & couldn't see it was suitable for LPG ...... But 1/4 ID seems a little small for a V8 especially as the ends will reduce it even more .. Closer to 4mm .. I thought a V8 would need 8mm feed pipe BRC used to use 8mm on everything over 4cyl . Just a thought

VOSA recall letter arrived today.

I can confirm that you do not need the letter. Your dealer has all the details needed for them to check whether or not your car is affected by the recall. Incidentally, when I entered my registration details on the Lexus website, it was not recognised. I am told that it's probably because the previous owner had private plates, and that the registration number I now have is likely to be different to what the original would have been. The letter is sent to all relevant owners. We are "privileged" in some way, because through this forum we get information earlier than others, but plenty of other owners will not be aware of the recall until they receive the letter. If their car is not subject to the recall, they will most likely remain oblivious to it.

I had a work colleague once; who used to 'stick' quite frequently, I also found the old tried and tested remedy,mentioned above,was best applied around this guys backside,-usually wearing a suitably heavy boot, -it never failed to work, a practice, unfortunately, these days,much frowned on-I cannot imagine why though.....

OOPS, Ok my pennys worth the install is not the neatest (mine from Battersea autogas wan't either). They have one guy on 1 car I believe so 4 days including the manifold removal & replacement would be about right. When you take it in for its 1000 mile set up it should run better & use less fuel . I think a Y piece with 2 equal length of pipe to the injector rails instead of a T piece would have been better. I am not sure if it makes much difference. I didn't have any problems with the conversion I had done there in the 5 years I had my last ls400. I would take it back for its 1000 mile set up & query the solenoid & pipes, They are very approachable at Battersea autogas & I am sure they will address your concerns. I am at Profess on Saturday If they have time I will get Andrew ( Anjay ) to look at your pics & see what he thinks (shame Leon has gone) I cant promise anything because Saturday is a very busy day down there.
