That two year old post needs updating. It no longer costs £3500 to convert a RR, and I'd be upset to be only getting 16mpg.

A 3 year warranty on the work is possible, and 5 days to do a conversion is too long. That being said, the post seemed to be based mainly on info from JE Engineering?

Agreed, the lack of ability to use Eurotunnel is a pain, but in reality the ferry crossing is relatively fast and reliable theses days, more so than the tunnel one could argue. That and they ferry companies have some really good rates for the crossing.

As per payback - considering the figures in that post are out now. My conversion will have covered its cost in about 6 months and I will definitely be saving money in 1 year to the tune of about £2200.

I was also under the impression that its a pain to lpg a sc. But that was from reading the LPG sticky on hear. I've have yet to find anybody tho that will lpg it for decent money. I have also been told why lpg a sc, if i wanted cheaper fuel/mpg should have got a diesel. I'm planning on keeping my sc until the thing is dead, so for me lpg'ing it would same me loads over the next 7/10 years. Thats if lpg is still cheap.

If anybody has got or knows anybody that has a sc lpg'd please let me know as I have yet to meet one.

cheers

Dan did you insurance rise when you let them know you converted to LPG?

I can comment on my experience with the Disco we had. Obviously declared it as it was fitted when we bought it (aftermarket kit). Some insurance companies wouldn't touch it. Others were chilled. I would guess Dan has had to declare modifications already. In which case the specialist companies are quite competitive in this respect. Run of the mill companies tend to bulk at a fluffy tax disk holder in a corsa.

Couldn't comment if it was any higher as we never had the disco without the LPG.

Hope that helps. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Anyone

your insurance will stay the same if you have had it converted by a authorised installer and get a LPGA certificate.

this i got confirmed in writing (yes written) by 20 insurance companies when i first started looking at connverting to lpg.

you also get £20 off your tax as on the V5 it is changed to alternative fuel bonus

zero emmissions also (feel good factor save the planet)

I think everybody should convert,

oh crap have i become a LPG fanboi o.0

do it you know you want to

On the hundreds of occasions I've been off roading from competitive trialing to green laning I've never once got a puncture. If you read the land ahead of you well you never should.

Sods law next time i venture off road I'll slash my sidewall!
