  1. I just converted my Mk1 and it seems fine so far. I have read that you cannot do a lot with the trip MPG meter without a lot of extra jiggery pokery but the actual LPG should work fine. HI.My 2002 430 was done 7 mths ago have done 30 k with no problem.talk to a reputable installer(found by googling lpg installers uk) and chould have no probs.the trip computer i found can sometimes be slightly misleading but i believe can be sorted out for an more accurate reading.

  15. i am in the process of buying an ls400 1993 model. it is at the moment getting an lpg conversion installed. should get the car in about a weeks time. costs approx £1500 plus vat. this is the latest conversion for a v8 available. i have had the lpg conversion installed on my last two vehicles. the last one being a rover sterling v6 2.7 honda engine. for the last three years it has run like a dream. i have had no running problems what so ever with the engine. i have read various posting about the lpg conversion to the ls400 and some owners have been having problems. i can only assume that they have got the wrong conversion installed for their vehicle. there is not a ``one conversion fits all``. you have to install the correct conversion kit for a specific vehicle. i would suggest that you go for it and get in done. not only is the fuel cheaper but the lpg is also kind to your engine. because there is no carbon burning. your engine is sqeaky clean internally and your engine oil does not deteriate. therefore you have the added bonus of less breakdowns saving £££££££ssss. jack. anyone thinking of a lpg conv go to the lpga site(google it) to find ur nearest installer-all reputable with warranties.looking at £2200-£2600 for a v8 eng and 5 days if done properly
  16. hi. i have a 2002 430 that is due to have a lpg conv on 16/10. i use dualfuel systems in woking ,surrey.very good and reliable.i have run merc s320 on lpg with no probs.longer sev intervals too.ideal if u do lots of miles.will post my views once done.
